Frank Lloyd Wright homes near Chicago you can rent

Originally designed for an article in a 1938 issue of LIFE magazine that showcased conceptual dream homes for American families, this home impressed Wisconsin businessman Bernard Schwartz so much that he asked Wright to build it for him. Boasting interiors that feature exposed brick and wood paneling, the four-bedroom home (also known as Still Bend) sits near the East Twin River in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. Guests can enjoy reading vintage books beside twin fireplaces in the expansive living room or cooking in the bright kitchen. Be aware: There's no air conditioning here, though the weather is typically cool.

Part of a small community of Wright-designed homes built throughout the ’50s in Galesburg, Michigan, collectively known as The Acres, the Eppstein House was painstakingly restored in 2017 and is now available to rent. The three-bedroom home typically accommodates groups of up to four people, who can enjoy gazing at the natural scenery through the property's large windows, listening to a vintage record collection or getting cozy on Mid Century furniture by a wood stove. And if it's warm enough to head outdoors, there are three terraces and a firepit in the lawn.

Exhibiting a striking hemicycle design, the Curtis Meyer House is another recently renovated property within The Acre community in Galesburg, Michigan. Filled with curved walls, Honduras mahogany accents and gigantic windows, the three-bedroom home is outfitted with custom furniture (much of it designed by Wright himself) that is situated to provide great views of the wooded surroundings.

Inspired by an unused design that Wright had intended for a resort in Lake Tahoe, Woodside feels a bit like an observation deck, lined with windows that look out on the property in Marion, Indiana. With five bedrooms, four bathrooms and kitchen that houses a large stove, there's plenty of room for a group of up to eight people to spend a weekend enjoying the architecture.

Known for its impactful triangular geometry (there are very few 90-degree angles in this house) and intricate brickwork, this Wright-designed residence is located on a two-acre property in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The three-bedroom home is filled with custom furniture, including hexagonal beds that fit perfectly into their surroundings. Renting the Palmer House also gives you access to an adjacent teahouse (designed by Wright protégé John H. Howe), which includes a small kitchen and bathroom.

Designed during the early stages of his career, Wright's American System Built-Homes were meant to be affordable-yet-stylish residences that could be built anywhere. This restored, three-bedroom home is one of six built to test the concept in Milwaukee now known as the Burnham Block. While not as grandiose as other Wright homes, there's an understated charm to this two-story pad, which features Prairie School touches like leaded glass windows and multiple fireplaces.
