we had a great visit there while on a Frank Lloyd Wright mecca trip of sorts. But absolutely, stay more than one night so you can really enjoy it. We were able to see the other houses as well (built by FLW apprentices). Stop for a few nibblies before you arrive so you can sit and enjoy the views/house without... More

Even the one night we had here was very relaxing. Heather had some lovely meals prepared for us in the fridge (I would highly recommend ordering these). The house was clean, the linen immaculate, and the setting serene and beautiful. The relationship between the house and the forest was just as FLW would have wanted it. The house was, of... More

Authentic Usonian home constructed in 1965 features long distance views, high ceilings, stone fireplace, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Original woodwork and furnishings show some signs of wear. Modernized in subtle ways (WiFi, appliances, sink fixtures). Lovely setting with woodland trails, pond and lake. Two young couples tend to the Polymath property and work hard to preserve these architectural treasures.... More

We were lucky to have the owner, Heather, give us the tour. There are 2 homes built by FLW apprentices and one home that was moved from Illinois. Fascinating story. These are one of the rare places you can actually stay in one of the homes.

We spent one night in the Blum House and had a fantastic time. Heather is a terrific hostess, and made us feel very welcome in the House, on the grounds of the park, and in the surrounding community. We loved the feel of the Blum House - the 3 bedrooms were just the right size for our family. We had... More

They feature accommodations and restaurants in a Wright atmosphere. The place idealizing, clean and orderly - the-neighborhood is superb! If you are a student or just a fan of this renowned architect you will be delighted!

We spent our 5th anniversary at the Duncan House. Beautiful house. Staff and chef were amazing. If you love Frank Lloyd Wright, then you must stay here. We've toured dozens of his homes, and driven by about 85 more. But staying in this home was a very special experience. It's very large -- would be a great place for even... More

Having planned tours of Kentuck Knob and Fallingwater, I found the Polymath Park website and emailed to see if I could do a tour. Heather was the perfect tour guide (and owner) of the Park. It was fascinating to hear at first hand the issues of moving the Duncan House to its location, as well as touring it and the... More

Our vintage car club did a tour which included Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob, so we included the houses at Polymath as a choice for our lodging. Tom and Heather could not have been more accomodating and this visit was one of the true highlights of our tour. Touring Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob are tremendous, but staying in the Polymath houses... More

Duncan House at Polymath Park, along with the other two Frank Lloyd Wright-desciple-designed houses, is a treasure that we luckily stumbled upon. The stories of how these three "Wright" houses got on the 125 acre property, of the couple making it all happen while running a first class restaurant, of each house's origin and survival--these stories need to be known....
