Frank Lloyd Wright Home "Woodside" ~ Amazing Architecture!
I have lived in this house now for 20 years and have completely renovated home to specs that I believe that Mr. Wright would have found in line with his way of design. Woodside sits on a wooded two-acre lot in a very old neighborhood.
You are within one mile of restaurants and grocery stores on the north side of town. A great neighborhood to walk and ride a bike along the river just down the hill from Woodside. I have reconstructed the kitchen for a chef to have fun with their cooking and wine storage. I hope you will enjoy my home as much as I have for the last twenty years.

Birthday gift
We enjoyed the experience of being in a Frank Lloyd Wright house overnight quietly reading about it. The story of Dr. Davis and the house and how it became a part of Marion was inspirational. And viewing the blueprints and looking for the fine details of the house was exciting We loved every minute there

Great experience to stay in a FLW designed home during our visit to the James Dean museums in Fairmount.
All was as advertised and Matthew was a great host and very helpful during our stay. A wonderful and unique home in a private setting may the stay very relaxing too.
Highly suggested if you are in the area and appreciate "special" architecture!

A house like no other.
One of the most unique places I’ve ever stayed. Not only is this place historic but it’s a phenomenal experience. We had a fire in the fireplace nearly the whole time. Snow on the ground, frigid temps, but the house was warm thanks to radiant heated floors. Would love to return, Matthew was awesome.

Not as advertized
Listed as 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom. However, 5th bedroom is in separate building and was “unavailable due to weather damage” and we were not told prior to stay. So one member of party had to sleep on couch. Host was not communicative. He did not tell us of lost bedroom, did not provide instructions for check-in/out information without prompting. No written instructions on how to work odd lighting. Odd lighting, due to cool architecture expected but lack of information made what could have been a neat feature a challenge. No hot water in one shower. NO privacy in any bathrooms! All bathrooms except half bath had windows open to outside and dining room (yes, you read correctly dining room!) with no curtains! Oven door did not close, fridge ran too warm (51-57 degrees) and would not turn down due to dirty compressor. Overall needs TLC and a good cleaning. Very cool architecture though. Would make a great day tour but not overnight stay!!

A stay inside a work of historical art
Perfect for the Frank Lloyd Wright enthusiast. Great history, blue prints and an airy wood burning fireplace are just some of the great features this house has to offer, while keeping in mind that it was built in 1953. Host was informative and responsive. We enjoyed our stay!

Mold and Mildew In Home Unsafe
This home is not safe to stay in, there is mold in the master bedroom and master bathroom. I have contacted VRBO stating that the property needs to be taken down until this is addressed. I have close to 20 photos showing the mold. The master bath room also had several broken tiles. Some of our guests had to go to a hotel and not stay in the home. The home had dirty floors upon arrival and there was trash in restroom trash cans. VRBO has canceled my case. I have requested a 50% refund through VRBO. I will not stop until this property has been taken down from this site AND I have recieved atleast 50% of my money back.

An enthusiast weekend
Our group stayed the weekend in this architectural wonder. We are FLW enthusiasts and we are planning on staying in any FLW home that is available to rent. Matthew has graciously opened the home to the public and it was a pleasure to experience the home in its entirety. A little more rustic than we expected, but Matthew is a super responsive host and has made his home comfortable for your stay. One can't help but appreciate the history and architectural elements of this home.

60th birthday getaway
Found this home while researching Midwest FLW properties to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday, and it couldn't have been a more perfect backdrop for the occasion! Matt was a very helpful host from the minute I reached out to him regarding the booking to the minute we left for the weekend. His response times were quick, and we appreciated his recommendations to take advantage of the commercial kitchen in the home and to venture to a nearby town/restaurant for my mom's birthday dinner (Joseph Decuis in Roanoke, IN). Marion is a small town so there was not much to do in the city proper, but we enjoyed walking along the riverfront in Matter Park and hitting the old school roller rink in town. -- And the home couldn't have been more stunning, so we wanted to spend a majority of our time reading by the fireplace and exploring all of the nooks and crannies anyway. The house was clean but not spotless as some of the other comments suggest, but my family is aware that historically/architecturally significant homes such as this one can be hard to maintain. One thing I would note is that the showers were not the most functional (especially for someone taller than Frank Lloyd Wright himself). All that said, we had an unforgettable time at Woodside and would highly recommend it to architecture buffs and to anyone looking for a respite alike!

Needs TLC
The property is a very unique Frank Lloyd Wright in the middle of a residential neighborhood in Marion, IN. Several locals voiced amazement that we had traveled there with relatively few nearby attractions. House was in need of maintenance and a general cleaning. It was neat in appearance and kitchen surfaces were clean, but homeowner store his personal food and wine there and some of the floors were not clean, leading us to question bedding and furniture (somewhat strange...also very unexpected with the $300-400 sanitizing charge we had paid on top of the hefty rental fee ). Outside, rundown fences, walkways, and rotting woodpiles as well as an obvious hole in the roof were not visible in the photos of the property, but definite signs of needed TLC. On the good side, the host returned every text or communication from my wife in record time. Unfortunately, we would NOT recommend this property "as is" for our friends or family.
