Peaceful and scenic retreat!

We had a lovely time at Phyllis's lovely cabin! I surprised my husband with a weekend trip here for his birthday and he was thrilled when we pulled into this beautiful property! It is very quiet, and so private. It was so fun to watch the birds and squirrels out on the deck. Our dog loved laying by the windows to watch :) So close to governor dodge state park and Spring Green! Thank you Phyllis for a wonderful stay.

Comfortable retreat

We had a very relaxing early spring stay at this quiet, peaceful home. It was easy to slow down and just be, watching the birds at the bird feeder. The updated kitchen areas and bathrooms were very nice without making the rest of the house feel too new, and any time we thought we needed something, we were able to find it. Highlights were heading out fir area hikes in the afternoon and, on a cold day, lighting up the wood stove.

Special Retreat

We have stayed her several times and always have a hard time leaving. When we step inside any tension just drains away and we feel so at home. You can just spend hours watching all the birds on the large deck as you sit by the large fireplace. We love cooking in the open kitchen with the grill right outside the door on the back deck.Phyllis has supplied this clean cabin with everything you could need.

Peaceful environment

Beautiful cabin in a natural setting. I stayed during the 3 coldest days of the year and stayed comfortably warm. If you enjoy birds and the quiet peace of nature sounds you will not go wrong here. Great kitchen for cooking too with quality cookware and utensils. Impeccably clean.

Winter oasis

This was our 3rd time staying at this gorgeous cabin in the woods. It is just a lovely way to enjoy winter instead of just enduring it! Warm and cozy--the fireplace, a good book, and a cocktail make for a pretty perfect evening, only to be rivaled by coffee on a sunny morning watching the birds right outside the window. The quiet surroundings are glorious. Kitchen is well-equipped. Internet, if you need it, is fast. Bed is comfy, and everything is immaculately clean and well-appointed. We love this place and will definitely be back for a 4th visit!

Really enjoyed our stay. This cabin is lovely! The house feels incredibly cozy, but was also designed to be practical. The attention to detail in the decor really made this one of my favorite VRBO stays yet.

Beautiful Weekend Stay

We have stayed here a few times and loved every second of it. The cabin is warm and cozy, the deck is perfect to sit out on in the morning with coffee and to watch the birds, or in the afternoon for some quiet time. It is a wonderful place to get away.

Absolutely Perfect Weekend Retreat

My partner and I were looking for a place to spend a weekend away, and we are so glad we booked this property. The communication from the host after booking was immediate and thorough. The property was a dream come true for Frank Lloyd Wright fans. Comfortable beds, tons of natural light, a beautiful kitchen, and alls surrounded by tranquil woods filled with wildlife. We can’t wait to stay here again next year!

Serene space for weekend getaway

Beautiful house and property, we enjoyed our stay here! The birdfeeder, fireplace and skylights were some of our favorites. The kitchen has everything you need - we utilized the grill and stove to make a few meals. The space worked well for 2 couples. I recommend this property if you’re looking for something in the area, and we would definitely choose to stay here again!

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
