I learnt about this vacation option years ago, while watching a Troika produced travel show on HGTV, created by a friend of mine, Meredith Crandall. I thought it would make a very unique experience, recreating nearby a body of water in a house built by Frank Lloyd Wright. Not any house but a Usonian House!
The Bernard Schwartz House is located on the East Twin River, where the rivers slows to form a wide marsh. The address is 3425 Adams St Two Rivers, WI 54241.

A quote from the website,
"The 4 bedroom 2 1/2 bath Life Magazine Dream house is yours to live in as if it were your own. Whether it’s two days or two weeks, you will experience the genius of Frank Lloyd Wright in a way that a typical tour cannot provide. Imagine watching the sun rising over the marsh and ushering in the morning light show as the clerestory patterns are projected onto the interior brick and cypress walls. Experience Frank Lloyd Wright’s vision for how that average american family could live. Relax, slow down and let Wright’s genius unfold before you in a manner that is not possible on a typical house tour."
The house can be enjoyed at $295/night (Sun to Thurs) and $350/night (Fri/Sat), with a 2 night minimum. 8 persons max and there is a 11.5% Occupancy Tax. According to the site, these are 2009 listed. I'd say these rates are still cheaper than a night at The Hilton NYC in the summer (which goes for $395/night) plus you can invite your friends and family to stay and maybe even chip in! One more thing, make your reservations soon. They do fill up pretty fast.
Check out their site for more information, reservations and more pictures if you need more convincing. They have info about sightseeing and things to do when in Two Rivers, Wisconsin as well. I'd love to make it a week at The Bernard Schwartz House, one day! Definitely a Dirtyboy Pick.
