Looking Ahead

Soon, The Usonian Inn LLC will face a historic moment, in more than one way! We are greatly excited about the possibilities inherent in becoming one of the historic establishments listed on the Wisconsin State Register of Historic Places, and very soon on the National Register of Historic Places.

It is a chance to re-emphasize the beauty and importance of an ORGANIC architecture, prairie style Frank Lloyd Wright inspired design, by taking a step forward. We look forward to the opportunity to work on preserving the integrity of the building (which we like to call home), and to assist in realizing this vision – becoming a nationally recognized historic place, and be known nationwide.

As a result of some good hours of work involving phone conversations, appointments, meetings, and picture submissions to the right authorities, at this time we have our hopes raised by clear signs that the process of achieving our goal is advancing in the right direction!

We are going forward to becoming a national recognized historic place. We are paying the fees to an accredited Historian to write the report to be presented before Wisconsin Historic Preservation Review Board. And patience with the rest of the process is as good as gold in a bank!

What's New this Summer!

The one good thing that is happening right now is that we are busy!....

Thank you to our loyal customers, those who return each year for the famous APT, and those who refer us to their friends; your input is very much appreciated.

A very hectic July kept me away from my blog and communication was a little broken. However, we had weddings to host, Big family reunion for the Jones-Lloyd, and that keeps repeating with more weddings, family parties, The House on the Rock Attraction and so much more that people get involved here when they visit the area.
Ah,...Golfing! that is another great way to spend your time when the weather is so beautiful!
APT and Touchstone facility are bringing in crowds excited about new plays and for some - just for the experience! Nights are pleasantly warm and the clear sky can be spectacular! 


The weather makes it quite adventurous here lately, but, so far, - plays didn't have to be postponed or stop at any time!

ONLINE booking helps us to keep track of our Availability calendar and maintain it timely and accurate.

Since we introduced our "Webervation" - online booking System,  we personally,  had to learn everything the program has to offer and make it easy for you to navigate.

There is a simple form to use to complete the "ONLINE" booking.

You will also have just the right amount of information to read and learn about our Policy and make yourself aware of our Green Guidelines we practice at our establishment.

- Information that matters

We might be asking you to use the online system for several reasons:

    * We MIGHT NOT BE Available for the phone

    * Having people at the desk will take priority

    * we could've stepped away from the desk for housekeeping reason/others

    * communicating accurate information to us for your booking is vital

    * important reading for you to do when going through the form

- How can you help

We will answer any questions any time - during our Business hours,  7:30AM - 10:00PM.

If you have to leave a message, KNOW that we ARE HERE and we WILL GET BACK to you in as soon as we are able. If something is URGENT, - which I doubt it, - state so!

- The Benefits

If you will stay with us more then once, you should know that booking a future reservation, with us is already saving you time.

Once we have you in our system, the second time you call we'll be able to find your data and use it for the next booking.

*****All we need each time, is your credit card information;  the system does NOT ALLOW us to retain your card data after we produce the check out report!*****

The Interior Design - starting phase

There is always only so much a proprietor can do; this life, a hotel owner life is full of surprises, interruption,  multitasking,  start more projects at once, take reservations, make phone calls...

One of the so called "Small Project" for the past winter was to work on the Interior Design; changing a few things and bringing some colors to the room was partially though about for different reasons.

The old had to go to make room for the new; we started with the beds' covers

We already concluded that the reading chairs were a too light color and the wear was already showing too much.

With the help of a skilled good friend, I was able to obtain a much better looking reading chairs that will not show as much or easy the stains ans still be comfortable and fitting in.

This of course is taking time and yet we made the room like having new furniture and being a new place all together.


It is a matter of days now to bring  this project to an end. We will follow with a different post when that is accomplished.
