About this property

Historic Farmhouse near Taliesin, APT, Wisconsin River

Aldebaran Farm was owned by Frank Lloyd Wright's uncle James Lloyd-Jones. Young Wright spent boyhood summers there working on his uncle's farm and falling in love with the valley where he would later build his own home. It's said that from the upper front window of the house, he could see the sites of Taliesin, the masterpiece he built for himself; Unity Chapel, whose ceiling represents his first work as an architect; and Hillside School, which he designed for his aunts and later made the headquarters of his architectural fellowship.

The Main House is available for rental year-round. It is heated, air conditioned, and powered with 100% solar electricity. It sleeps up to 12 and has a fully equipped kitchen and a huge table that seats 10 comfortably for dinner. It's perfect for theater weekends, family reunions, and relaxing getaways. The property is 17 acres, with walking paths, picturesque outbuildings, and spectacular views of the Jones Valley. It's minutes away from American Players Theatre, the Wisconsin River, the Springs golf course, and the Frank Lloyd Wright Visitors Center.

About the host

Hosted by Mike Lenehan

Host profile image
We're a retired writer-editor (Mike) and nurse midwife (Mary) who split our time between Chicago and Spring Green. Our family and friends enjoyed this house as a rental for years before we were able to purchase it in 2003. In 2016 we rehabbed the barn to the south for our own use and now we are pleased to share our Main House and this spectacular valley with others.

Why they chose this property

The Jones Valley (as it is called) is beautiful, well-protected, and historically and architecturally significant. We are directly across the road from Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece Taliesin and from a marsh and hillside populated by frogs, sandhill cranes, and grazing cattle. We're a longish walk and a quick drive from the Frank Lloyd Wright visitors' center and the Wisconsin River, and very close to the world-class American Players Theatre.

What makes this property unique

Aldebaran Farm is one of the few rentals in the area that will accommodate a large group (up to 12 people, depending on your sleeping arrangements). It's popular for family reunions, wedding groups, and theater weekends.
