Spend the Night in Frank Lloyd Wright's Penfield House



Our 16th stop on our 94 Days of Summer and Discovery Tour is to spend the night at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Penfield House. Built-in 1955, the Penfield house sits on a rise overlooking the Chagrin River. This 1,730-square-foot house in Ohio is one of the nine Usonian houses the architect designed in the state. Wright modified the typical proportions of this three-bedroom Usonian homes for Louis Penfield’s house to accommodate the artist and schoolteacher’s six-foot, eight-inch frame.


The house features an exceptionally high ceiling, a narrow floating staircase, tall doors, and 12-foot floor-to-ceiling windows that offer panoramic views of the surrounding wooded area and a distant overlook to the nearby Chagrin River. This elegant piece of history is available to reserve for overnight stays. The house that sleeps up to five comfortably is surrounded by 30 wooded acres with the Chagrin River running directly through the property. The house is fully equipped with three bedrooms, one and a half baths and all the comforts of home.

Described as intimate, spiritual, and elegant a night spent here is not only a relaxing piece of history but also one you won’t soon forget.
