This Wisconsin Cottage Is One Of The Few Frank Lloyd Wright-Designed Homes Available For Overnight Rentals
The Seth Peterson Cottage, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, offers a unique overnight rental experience within Mirror Lake State Park.
You’d be hard-pressed to find another vacation rental like Seth Peterson Cottage. That’s not an opinion. It’s a fact. You see, it was the first, and now one of the few, Frank Lloyd Wright-designed homes available for overnight rentals. Yep, you can actually spend the night! Of course, that’s not the only way you can get a glimpse of the famous abode. Take a look:
The Seth Peterson Cottage is nestled within the woods of Mirror Lake State Park.
Peaceful seclusion is far from its most distinguishing feature, though. The cottage’s main draw is that it’s the creation of Frank Lloyd Wright.
Fans of Wright are sure to notice that the cottage bears many of the architect’s trademark design principles.
Wright was most known for his ability to bring the outdoors in – and at the cottage, that concept is brought to life via stone walls and floors and tons of wood features.
Lots of windows also aid in the seamless blending of the cottage’s interior and exterior.
A massive fireplace is the centerpiece of the cozy cottage, which includes a complete kitchen, living room, dining room, and bedroom.
With one bedroom and a fold-out couch, the cottage can sleep four comfortably, making it ideal for families, couples, and small groups.
In 1992, the Seth Peterson Cottage became the first Frank Lloyd Wright-designed property available for overnight rentals.
Ever since, it’s been a highly sought-after spot, booking up months, even years, in advance!
Since the cabin is located within a state park, recreational fun is just steps away.
All cottage rentals include canoes and paddles, making it easy to take advantage of the park’s centerpiece lake. The park also offers hiking, biking, swimming, boating, fishing, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling.
Luckily, you don’t have to be an overnight guest to visit the Seth Peterson Cottage. Tours are offered the second Sunday of each month.
Please note, because of COVID-19 and social distancing requirements, tours are limited to exterior viewing only. On the plus side, you can tour the exterior of the home for FREE.
For more information on the cottage, call the Seth Peterson Cottage Conservancy at (877) 466-2358. You can also visit the conservancy's website or Facebook page. Ready to make reservations? Check out the Sand County Vacation Rentals website.
