Frank Lloyd Wright · Gorgeous Views, Sweeping Valley, Amazing Sunsets

If you love Frank Lloyd Wright you will love this cottage. Taking over 2.5 years to build in a secluded cedar woods, surrounded by bluffs and perched on top of the landscape. The original Frank Lloyd Wright cottage (Seth Petersen) is the inspiration to build this cottage.

When you walk in, you still feel like you're outside. The flying roof with only the glass to hold it up. The original structure was built in 1959, we tried to create the 50's feel with retro appliances and a space age feel (in the bathroom).

Once you're all set we'll provide instructions how to access the key pad with your door code. Or, in other words no need to find us or where the key is hidden, rather punch in your code and wa-la the door unlocks.

We both work, but, we are around in the evenings and weekends. Only five minutes away if you have questions or concerns.

Hello, this is a remote cabin, or cottage in the woods perched on the bluff side overlooking a valley. When you stay, you will start at the bottom of the valley and drive all the way up to the top. This is where the cabin (or cottage) is located. Wildlife, trees, very peaceful as you are quite alone. No neighborhood for many miles.

You must have a automobile. This is a country cottage experience. The closest township is St. Donatus and good 1.5 mile hike.

You'll be over a mile away from the nearest township. Plan on being quite alone. I will recommend to go HyVee in Dubuque on Locust street. Quite a large selection (the flagship store in Dubuque) of food and spirits. Only 12 minutes away.
If winter booking, automobile must have front wheel or all wheel drive.
No climbing on bluffs
No outdoor shoes, bring inside shoes.

Wow--this will ruin you for any other rental!
Stunning. Every detail. I gifted my husband a few nights' getaway and we really didn't want to leave. Not to sound snooty, but I'm a designer and the details REALLY matter to me--and this place truly could not have been better. The location is perfect--felt like we were far away from everything, but only a short drive from restaurants, etc. We truly could not have had a better getaway. We sure hope to be back! Thanks Joe and Kelly--what a gift to be invited into your cottage/labor of love!

So many beautiful details about our stay….. I couldn’t even begin to list them all. It’s a weekend we won’t forget.

We were looking for a quiet place to relax for a few days, but what we got was so much more. The cottage is one of the most thoughtfully designed spaces I have ever stayed in, and probably one of the most aesthetically designed places available for rent. There was just a sheet of tall glass that separated us from the spectacular view outside of tall trees and a gorgeous valley around it. From the cozy fireplace with recliners, a fully functional kitchen, an elegant drink table, a modern bathroom, and a sprawling living space made it rather hard for us to leave it and go out. But when we did, the surrounding area along the Mississippi was simply spectacular. We strongly recommend this place and will surely return as soon as possible.

Romantic getaway
We booked this for our anniversary getaway. There is no detail left undone, it is such a peaceful and relaxing oasis. There are many good places to eat and explore a short drive from the cottage. We are thankful and blessed to have found this treasure. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely the perfect get-a-way. The property is clean, gorgeous views, and out of the way of everyday life. Close enough to Galena and Dubuque attractions, but we found that we just wanted to jest get back to the property to sit on the patio and and enjoy all it has to offer. We really enjoyed making a fire every night and listening to cows and wild life while watching the night sky. If I could give this property 10 stars I would. Joe and Kelly are amazing hosts with great communication and left us a great bottle of wine and turtles (my wife's favorite) to enjoy. We can't wait to book again in the near future.
