A must-stay-at architectural masterpiece! The Meyer House by Frank Lloyd Wright

Seize this rare opportunity to stay in a Frank Lloyd Wright Kalamazoo area treasure! This two-story Usonian Solar Hemicycle is admired by architects and Wright lovers worldwide.

The Mahogany accents have been meticulously restored, and the gardens are in full bloom throughout the spring and summer. Awarded the Seth Peterson Cottage Conservancy's 2019 Visser Award for Outstanding Restoration of a Frank Lloyd Wright House and the 2021 Wright Spirit Award in the private category.

THE SPACE
- The house has been carefully restored to its original 1950s splendor.
- The Wright-designed furniture, including the built-in banquettes and dining table, remain in perfect condition.
- Featured in The 100 Greatest Works, The Houses, and countless other books celebrating the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, time spent here is memorable. Long-term stays are discounted.

CHECKING IN
Besides some of the personal belongings closets, guests will have full access to this glorious and sculptural space. It is a tranquil and peaceful setting with a view of nature right outside your window. Please be reminded that this home has only one upstairs bathroom with a shower(no working bath) and a half bath downstairs. All guests will be met at the house by the house manager or a greeter to answer questions and get you checked in. The house is located in a rural setting.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
Situated in a rural environment but very close to the world-renowned Gilmore Car Museum and one hour from Frank Lloyd Wright's The Meyer May House, The Gerald Ford Presidential Library, and Meijer Gardens and Sculptural Park in Grand Rapids. Ann Arbor and "The Big House", Frank Lloyd Wright's Palmer House and the University of Michigan are 85 miles away.

The Meyer house is a 15-minute drive to the many restaurants and brewpubs in the quaint city of Kalamazoo. Lake Michigan and the charming towns of Saugatuck, South Haven, and Holland are one hour away.

Southwest Michigan is filled with highly regarded golf courses, public parks and a number of rivers and lakes, some with public access for boating, kayaking, and other forms of outdoor recreation.

The Gilmore International Keyboard Festival (Kalamazoo) and Art Prize (Grand Rapids) are Bi-annual events that draw tens of thousands worldwide. Music lovers are likely to find a classical or jazz concert nearby. Lucky gamblers may gravitate to The Firekeeper's Casino or The Gun Lake Casino, both within 30 minutes.

Once you arrive, a guidebook with "Things to Do" will be in the house. Reach out in advance if you would like suggestions, but most guests stay to enjoy a rural getaway with peace and quiet surrounded by nature.

First Rate Experience
Our stay at the Meyer House far exceeded our expectations, however high they were going in. The house was so beautiful, and snow falling all weekend made the views even better than I'm sure they usually are. The owner was extremely generous, in terms of snacks, coffee, homemade cookies and more left for us to help ourselves to. I love the location too - you feel totally isolated from any hustle and bustle, but can be to the highway in under 5 minutes and could be in Kalamazoo in 15 minutes or so. I would give my strongest recommendation for anyone considering staying here. I hope we have a chance to stay here again in the future.

Great Stay at Meyer House
We had a wonderful weekend staying at the Meyer House. There is no better way to appreciate the genius (and idiosyncrasies) of Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture than to stay overnight in one of his Usonian houses. The location at the top of a hill and the pastoral setting are very relaxing and perfect for a weekend getaway. Anyone with an interest in mid-century design should strongly consider a stay at the Meyer House.

A MUST Stay for Any Frank Lloyd Wright Fan
I rented the Meyer house as a 50th Birthday present for my best friend. We visited in early November, 2020. This home is impeccable - and we are not easy to please. It is clean, has everything you need to settle in and enjoy some quiet time. There are dozens of FLW books to read, gorgeous views, a well appointed kitchen, and comfortable beds. There are 3 other FLW homes in the neighborhood, but the Meyer house is by far the best maintained in my opinion. Davey the (outside) cat even took a long walk with us when we toured the neighborhood and took pictures. The owner communicated quickly, and answered all questions I had prior to and during the stay. You will not be disappointed if you stay here!

Inspiring AND relaxing!
After a busy work season, this was the perfect relaxing getaway. We loved looking out the back with some coffee while reading so many of the awesome books! Kitchen was so well stocked and fun to cook in.
