A Hidden Gem
Usonian is a hidden gem located on the beautiful Frank Lloyd Wright Trail surrounded by gorgeous Wisconsin views. The owner, Carolina, recently renovated the entire property. The rooms are very clean and extremely cozy. I was treated with respect from the moment I booked my stay until the time I was checking out. The location is close to a charming downtown area with delicious food options and fantastic shopping. Overall, an enjoyable experience. 10/10 would highly recommend.

Owner incredibly rude and bigoted
I was on a cross country run for charity and tried to book a room after being told there were vacancies. When I entered, a bit sweaty, the owner looked me up and down like something on the bottom of her shoe. "You can't afford to stay here" was her reply. "How much are the rooms" "250 dollars". Now this was a surprise as I'd been told they were $90 over the phone which was a bit over the top for the quality of the rooms on the photo. I told her that was fine and got out my wallet. She then told me they had no rooms. The vacancy sign was still lit and I told her I had verbal confirmation over the phone that they did. I don't want you to stay here - she clearly thought I was homeless. As I left, she comes out screaming at me telling me I had no integrity for leaving the door open and querying if I had doors in my own country. This was extremely ironic seeing as I'd left the door open in protest at her complete lack of integrity. Judging by the reviews, a lot of people are satisfied with the services the hotel offers, but I'd query giving my custom to such a nasty individual. As it happened, a local family I met when I was buying groceries had seen me running 20 miles down the road earlier that day and took me in free of charge for the night. Karma.…

One of my all time favorite places to stay!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED... It's not often that I will rave about hotels, but this is the exception. The Usonian Inn is one of my absolute favorite places to stay. It is filled with good energy and leaves you with a feeling of peace and comfort. The Inn itself was built by JC Caraway, student of Frank Lloyd Wright. As the name suggests, it is true usonian architecture, with touches of FLW all around. The owner, Carolina, has carefully and tastefully renovated and restored the structure, room by room while keeping true to its original beauty and integrity. Bathrooms are spa-like. The rooms are warm, cozy and peaceful. Added amenities such as a flat screen TV, fridge, microwave and coffee maker come standard in each room, and it feels like home. Carolina keeps the rooms spotless. It's one of the absolute cleanest hotels I've ever stayed in. She is an excellent hostess, as she goes out of her way to make sure you are comfortable & happy. She is always willing to give helpful tips and advice about the restaurants, theaters and other things to do in the area. Carolina takes pride in the property and it truly shows, inside and out. Beautiful landscaping surrounds the motel on all sides. An added bonus... the lobby offers a wonderful selection of imported beer and wine for sale and other items to make your stay more relaxing. I've stayed at this hotel three times now. Each time I like it even better than the last. A trip to Spring Green would not be the same staying anywhere else. The Usonian is loaded with charm and character. It's one of my "happy places", where I feel like I can rest and relax without worry. All the rooms are slightly different. (All nice!) We got a tour of recently renovated Room 5 and we absolutely fell in love with it. We plan to stay in it on our next visit. I highly and sincerely recommend the Usonian Inn!…

Wonderful piece of history
Absolutely love this place and can’t wait to go back! Carolina, the owner, was lovely and has added a lot of her own thoughtful touches both in the hospitality aspect and in her care of a historical treasure. This is a great spot for nature lovers, history lovers and explorers!

Always a wonderful stay!
Spring Green is a beautiful little town and it wouldn't be the same without a stay at the Usonian Inn. This was my second stay here and will be visiting again later in the year. Carolina, the proprietor, makes you feel right at home. She's a wonderful lady and always pleasant to talk to. The Motel itself is charming. It has a good vibe and is a very comfortable place to stay. The bathrooms have been renovated and are spa-like and are environmentally friendly. Comfortable beds, comfortable room. Each room has a table and chair on the patio outside their doors. Wonderful to watch the sunset from. It's a happy place all around. Highly recommended!
