American Players Trip
This is our second time visiting this lovely home. It’s so peaceful and calm. We always enjoy our stay. It’s a great getaway for our girls trip to American players down the road. We can hang out in the morning and watch the beautiful views, and the golfers on the golf course. The house is so completely equipped. It makes it hard sometimes for us to leave and go out for the day. We hope to be back again next year. thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

Wonderful house in the woods!
We have stayed many times at this lovely home. It's a cozy spot pn the golf course, in the woods but only 10 minutes from town. Gorgeous setting, immaculate property. Home owner is a joy to deal with. We'll be back!

Serene spot
We had a perfect stay here with our parents for a couple nights. We saw a couple shows at APT and walked around the cute town of Spring Green. Communicating with the owner, Judith, was easy breezy and we would love to stay at this lovely home again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Judith Smith

Host profile image
I love the Spring Green area. I originally moved here in 1983 to work in the costume shop at American Players Theatre. Since then, I have worked at the Santa Fe Opera and The Goodman Theatre in Chicago enjoying painting and dyeing costumes. I have also worked professionally as a Textile Designer for Lands End and American Girl. I like to travel and visit parts of the world where beautiful costumes are still created by indigenous artisans. I collect textiles and enjoy having them around me in my home.

Why they chose this property

In 2013, I purchased this property. I was learning to golf and am an admirer of Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural style. When I learned this house was the first "model home" built for the resort and was designed by Wright's chief draughtsman, John Howe, I became even more thrilled! The home is unique to The House On the Rock Resort complex. It is independent of the resort but is part of it's former history. I have moved farther north of the SG region but my family and I love the house and want to continue to enjoy it as well as share it with others!

What makes this property unique

The first thing I notice about the property is the gorgeous tall pines surrounding it. Once inside the house, the view outside towards the golf course is spectacular. The outside comes inside through the expanse of windows! The space feels serene, open and light. The screen porch brings one even closer to nature. I love sitting there and listening to the spring peepers--or frogs! So many birds frequent my yard-bluebirds nest in the bird house, grosbeaks at the feeders. In the winter I have deer come right up to my windows. I also have noticed coyotes in the snow frolicking!
