Have stayed here multiple times. Always welcoming, spotlessly clean, and peaceful. This is a special home, lovingly cared for, and we appreciate that we can enjoy the home, the surrounding wooded property, and the beautiful area. The drives to nearby towns and state parks are an added bonus. Even our dog never wants to leave this place!

Beautiful place, well provisioned, quiet, convenient to Spring Green and APT, pet friendly (we had a couple of standard poodles that had a great time exploring), good beds and shower (essential!), and very easy communication with the host. Would happily stay here again.

Beautiful property in an amazing off the beaten path location. Very drivable to area attractions like downtown Spring Green and American Players Theater. Large deck with cute lights to enjoy the evenings, lots of vintage furnishings, and everything you'd need in the kitchen. Great stay!

Wonderful place out in nature to get away and unplug. Spent sunny days on the deck that felt like a treehouse and cool nights inside by the fireplace. The house was comfortable and well appointed.

We went for a weekend and stayed in this beautiful place. It is exquisitely decorated and has everything that you could possibly want. We saw shooting stars, as the night sky was perfectly dark without city lights. We were only a five minute drive to Spring Green for shopping and sightseeing. This felt both totally remote and convenient, and such a gorgeous house!!

About the host

Hosted by Phyllis Dyer

Host profile image
This property has been in our family since 1975 when Gene and Elizabeth Stirling bought 30 woodland acres and hired Frank Lloyd Wright apprentice Frank Leach to build them this retirement/summer home. Elizabeth’s son Christopher, Phyllis’s husband, along with many local friends, helped with the construction. Once the house was completed Elizabeth filled it with furniture and décor from her world travels. Her grandchildren came from all over the country to spend their summers here. Christopher built his own family home on the property,
up the hill, in 1979.
Over the years four generations have lived in this house at different times- including a Taliesin tour guide, Spring Green General Store owners, an editor of the Home News and an American Players Theatre actor. In 2012 Phyllis moved in following Christopher’s passing. She and her son and his wife- an Interior Designer- did extensive renovations to the bathrooms, kitchen and floors.
And now Phyllis welcomes her own children and grandchildren who travel cross-country to spend time here every summer.
We hope you enjoy our treasured family retreat as much as we have over the years.
The Dyer Family
