Reviews
"Wonderful experience, the tour guides are very knowledgeable and excited about sharing this unique and beautiful home. They answered so many questions and gave fun details about the Dow family. It was like walking back in time. Kid friendly, we took our 8 & 10 year old and they really enjoyed it as well."
"One of the best home tours yet. Wow...lots to see and such an interesting place and story. Worth the trip wherever you travel from to get here. Exterior photos only. The interior colors and decor were beautiful and so ahead of their time!"
"I love touring houses and this one is in my top 10. We were visiting from Grand Rapids, and it was worth the drive! Visit the Dow Gardens and Whiting Forest while you're there. Spectacular."
"This house has a great tour! If you are at all into architecture, stop here if you are near Midland!"
"Very cool example of mid century architecture. Very big too at over 20k sq.ft! Disappointing that you can't take interior photos. I came in winter when there was snow and it was cold. I'd recommend to come when it's nicer instead. You'll be able to see the water surrounding the house and the foliage and go to nearby gardens."
