We rented a cabin near here for the weekend with family. I've always wanted to visit this house so we stopped by on our last day. Tickets were sold out for the indoor tours (they weren't doing many because of Covid), so if you want to do that, book at least a month in advance. That being said, the grounds and outside of the property are incredible. It's such a beautiful house and definitely worth visiting just the outdoor portion too. Plus you can see the inside through the windows. Tickets for that were only $20/person when we went. There are tons of trails you can explore around the grounds too. I'd allow at least 1-2 hours here. It's definitely worth a day trip to visit if you're anywhere near here! read more

I have wanted to tour Falling Waters for sometime now and I am so glad that I had the opportunity to do so. I took the $85.00 ( or something in that range tour) and that tour is two hours, you can take pictures and see more of the fabulous house! Well worth the extra money! If you are a Wright fan you definitely don't want to miss this home! read more

Date of visit: 11/27/21 I can't stress this enough: Buy tickets well in advance! As soon as you think you're going to be in the Pittsburgh area and want to check this out, buy these tickets first. As we did not do so, we were stuck with just the exterior tour, which allows for some interesting pictures, but doesn't have the same appeal as the interior, guided tour. The exterior tour was fine, though a bit expensive for what you actually get. Shout out to volunteer Michelle, who provided great background information on the site and the construction of the home, plus offered to take a picture of us with the house in the background. The store has some interesting items at varying price points, so if you are an architecture or Frank Lloyd Wright fan, definitely stop in. The additional gallery doesn't have much of interest, so feel free to skip it if you're short on time. read more

Unfortunately, we didn't get book early enough to get the inside tour of the home; however, the guided grounds tour was outstanding! Lesson learned, book early! You might not think it's worth it, but the guided grounds tour was! There is a nice little café in the visitor center, as well as a beautiful gallery. read more

Stunning views and a tall drink of gas to see this beauty. Tucked all the way in the SW portion of PA. This modern house of sculpture. Intertwines itself with nature. It creates a harmonious union of respect. The wooden interiors really open up and bathe in the oversized window treatments. Like the surrounding rock, there are levels to FallingWater. The cascading waterfall it accompanies further emphasizes this. Its famous cantilevered decks do not disappoint. They shine brightly as beacons of a daring vision. There is a lot to say. But, the best I can say is that it was a Bucket list item for me. read more

One of a kind experience south of Pittsburgh. Serene. A world heritage site for good reason. Try in different seasons!

We recently visited two homes designed by Frank Llyod Wright in Manchester, New Hampshire. We knew we would be coming to see the two in Pennsylvania as well. The first one we visited was Fallingwater, which was a home designed in 1935 for the family of Pittsburgh department store owner Edgar J. Kaufmann. It was their weekend home from 1937 until 1963, when the property was donated to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy by Edgar Kaufmann Jr. We started in the ultra-modern Visitor's Center that was designed to blend into the nature of the land. Our guide was Michelle, and she really had an in-depth knowledge of the property. She made the home and the land come alive for us. We took the shuttle bus driven expertly by Jean from the Visitor's Center to the house. The house, set amid 5,000 acres of natural wilderness, is constructed of local sandstone, reinforced concrete, steel, and glass. It juts out over a waterfall on Bear Run, appearing as naturally formed as the rocks, trees, and rhododendrons which surround it. The interior has cantilevered desks, earth-toned built-in sofas, polished stone floors, and large casement windows which allow the outdoors to pour in. It still looks as it did when the family lived there - the only remaining great Wright house with its setting, original furnishings and artwork intact. Certainly, the setting was stunning and the house unusual in design for its time. Photography was only allowed on the exterior and the first floor of the house. We did feel that the property is in real need of refurbishing. We could see some workmen working on the foundation of the house. read more

loved my time at fallingwater. at times the tour can feel a lil crowded, but their use of headsets gives you the freedom to meander around and not miss any information. I feel the Dana Thomas House is Wright's most livable/comfortable home this is a close second. Not as a full time residence but as a summer home it seems perfect. but it would be very dangerous to go on any of the balconies late at night after a a few cocktails. the water wouldn't be the only thing falling read more

Fallingwater is absolutely incredible. The vision of Frank Lloyd Wright is jaw dropping once you see both the interior and exterior from the various terraces and all around the home and property. In particular the incorporation of natural light, the vast, spacious interior (first floor especially), windows from floor to ceiling which contribute to the feel of openness and being surrounded by nature, and recurring motifs of horizontal lines and terraces throughout the home are awe-inspiring. Quoth Edgar J. Kauffman Jr. (Former resident): "Mistakes have plagued Fallingwater, yet the extraordinary beauty of the house and the delight it brought to the life of its inhabitants form the context in which its construction should be evaluated." read more

Fallingwater is a must-do, though there are so many tours that you can't help feeling rushed through... not their fault that it's popular. The buildings are nice, the views spectacular, but the stairs are a bit much if you're not expecting them. Magnificent innovations, the windows are striking, the opening to the stairs down to the water, and the stairs themselves, marvelous! Would recommend the first or last tours of the day, especially if you paid for the tour that permits you to take photos inside... though to be honest this is probably not something I would do again, as the pace of the tour makes getting good pictures tough... buying a book for the interior pictures is probably a better way to spend the money. read more

How awesome is it that this is like in the backyard of Pennsylvania? I mean it is tucked away in a state park, and it is not even the only Frank Lloyd Wright house in the area. But to have this picturesque beauty within your reach, you appreciate it just a bit more. Fallingwater has been a bucket list item of mine for some time. I had known about it for a majority of my life, but I could not fathom how close it really was to me. In my mind I had it out in the middle of nowhere in a hard to reach place and would only be visited by me in my wildest dream. I have no idea where I got that notion, but I felt a little dumb to find out that it is located in Fayette County and not far from many a towns between Pittsburgh and Johnstown. I finally made my way here. Tip for you: set up your trip beforehand. Especially with how things are right now. Go online, select your time, pay for your ticket, download a map, and do a bit of research to give yourself enough time and space to do what you want to do here. It really helps, and don't be afraid once you are here to ask the nice staff any question you have. They have the inside scoop and give you a few tips to give you the hand up to make it through here at a quicker pace. As of right now, it is all self guided tours. Limited capacity. Social distancing highly suggested and masks are a must. I took the advice from the staff member sitting at the information desk and did the trek backwards. It may throw people off, but take my word for it, you will want to, you start with the steps (going down) and end with a gentle incline coming back up. Also going this way takes you to the viewpoint first where you can get that ideal picture of the house with the falls. To note, there are two different trails that you can take, one being longer than the other and it kind of bypasses some of the viewable areas. Once you make it to the house enjoy yourself. You are free to move about the area as you like. Snap those pictures and take that selfie. The self guided tour, in my opinion, is the way to do this. There are staff positioned everywhere for you to ask a question if you have it. I did that while peering through the glass. I wanted to know what was down the stairs inside the house and I was informed that this is one of the few houses that FLW built that has a basement (although there is not much down there, furnace and storage). I really enjoyed the decks here, it is quite peaceful and the babbling from the water below can be almost zen like. This house is pretty amazing and I am glad that they did not let it fall into disrepair. Even the servants quarters are well taken care of. My favorite parts of the house were the stairs leading down to the creek. Imagine having a rough day and just wanting to put your feet in the cool water and let it wash away everything. The wading pool on the lower portion of the house is pretty awesome as well as the pool at the upper portion of the house. I also found it neat that they had a hand washing station at the front door complete with bar of soap. After you do your self guided tour you can stop back at the entrance area. There you can take in lunch if you like in there small cafe. Or, if you want a souvenir browse through their gift shop. They also offer an area if you wish to hold an event here. Also, if you have the money to spend, you can spend the night in the house. read more

Visiting Fallingwater has been on my bucket list for years. And I finally made it a few weeks ago! It lived up to my expectations, so I recommend it to anyone who is thinking of visiting. (Background on Fallingwater: Built in 1935, Fallingwater is arguably Frank Lloyd Wright's most famous and historic design/build. It is particularly famous for being designed to rise above the waterfall over which it was built. Partly as it was only ever owned by one family, the family who built it, it is the only major Wright work to come into the public domain with its setting, artwork, and original, Wright-designed furniture intact. If you don't know it by name, you probably know it by sight.) There are several tour options when you visit Fallingwater. We decided to do the In Depth Guided Tour, which is more expensive and offered only twice a day (at 8:30 and 8:45 on days they are open). I was excited about this tour option because - even though it's pricey at $85 per person - it's a 1.5-hour tour, includes access to more spaces and rooms than the guided architectural tour, and personal photograph is permitted throughout. If you'd be happy with a shorter tour, the guided architectural tour is $32 dollars per person, 1 hour long, and offered all day. The guided architectural tour is a screen-free tour with opportunities for photography for personal use as indicated by tour guides. There are additional options, too: grounds pass (house interior not included, $15 per person), brunch tour ($175/person), sunset tour and reception ($175/person), and more. I was very happy with our In Depth tour. It was long enough that it didn't feel rushed at all. I felt like we saw most of the house and guest house and had plenty of time for questions. It felt very comprehensive, and I was able to get some amazing pictures during the tour. If you - like us - feel like you might only get the chance to come once, I recommend a splurge for the in depth tour! No matter which tour you take, make sure to give yourself a little to walk around the grounds and walk the overlook trail and the lower Bear Run trail. The visitors center was designed by the partner of Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., the son of the original owners who designed, built, and lived in Fallingwater. It has a decent cafe, a museum store, and a gallery with photos and historical artifacts relating to the house's design and construction (worth visiting). Our visit was amazing. It lived up to my very high expectations. I recommend it anyone with an interest in architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright, or design. And to just to anyone that loves anything beautiful! read more

Fallingwater is about a 45 minute drive from my home. Although, I go to Ohiopyle often, I haven't visited Fallingwater for about 10-12 years. It was on a whim that we decided to stop and visit it. The in-depth tours had sold out quickly and we had arrived early. Still, we got to walk the grounds and take in the home from the outside. There are guides who lead the tours but other guides are available to answer questions. The home is recognized world wide and it's story is interesting. There are several books available in the museum store. We enjoyed the gallery where FLW's drawings are displayed. There were families with very young children, who were unimpressed. I think middle school students would be the appropriate age for taking the tour. read more

1. The interior tour was worth it! Do make reservation 2 weeks ahead. I did, for the sake of pre July the 4th crowd, and saw a notice at the entrance that the day was sold out. 2. There's some stairs climbing inside the house and some trails on the property. I think it rained the night before so some places were wet. Wear proper footwear. 3. The only bathroom is at the visitor center so be prepared. 4. There's another Wright's house called Kentuck Knob nearby. Visit that one, too! 5. You can take pics except the interior of the 2nd and 3rd floors. 6. The tour took a little bit over an hour. I then went to the lookout to snap some typical Fallingwater pics and walked back to the visitor center. So probably giving it 1 hr 30 min is sufficient enough. 7. I suppose you cannot enter the house without a guide or at least without looking like you're with a guide lol read more

This Sunday, I visited Fallingwater in Mill Run, PA. About three weeks before, I'd booked an hour-long tour of the house. Very important FYI - You have to get tickets ahead of time or else you risk not being able to go in because everything will be sold out. (it's not even a risk, really, you won't be able to get a tour). I got the $30 regular tour of the house. You can purchase tickets online and then pick them up on your tour day. You drive through country lands for a while before you get to the compound. There's a booth where you give your name and they let you through to park and give you your ticket. At the info booth, you show your ticket and then are told your tour group number and where to wait (area between the gift shop and cafe). There's a short, downhill walk to the house, so wear comfortable shoes and double check you can handle the walk. Also, don't bring a big bag. They are very serious about what you can bring into the house in order to reduce risk of any damage to the house. No pictures allowed inside for the regular tour, but there is a viewpoint lookout area where you can take pics of the structure to snap that classic image of the house. Worth visiting this UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Frank Lloyd Wright's most iconic and critically heralded architectural designs! Random notes: For me, Internet was spotty in the area. So posting to social media is kind of a pain and easier to post later. However, weirdly enough, there are PokémonGO stops and a gym at Fallingwater if you are into that. read more

Behold, a cabin in the woods on steroids; better for cocktail parties rather than hunting trips. This is a truly beautiful landmark, and an interesting take on how art can influence a living space. The tour that's given is very informative and thorough, so expect to spend about an hour being guided around the house. Impressively, most of the furniture and personal effects in the house are the actual remnants of the family that owned this property. The portrait of Edgar Kaufmann Sr. hanging in the dining room is stunning, and I found myself gazing at it for some time. Priceless works by Pablo Picasso, Diego Rivera and others line the walls. The sound of the creek flowing below the house is a soothing reminder of the world outside. If one was to be here alone, it would be a world app to itself. Please try and come on a sunny day. I made the mistake of coming on a rainy day, and the one downfall is that the house can get extremely cold and damp during rainfall. I probably would have had a fat better time on a clear day, but this is worth the trip if you are interested in the works of Frank Lloyd Wright. It's a small slice of high art in an otherwise rural area of Pennsylvania. read more

This Frank Lloyd Wright designed structure is an astonishing work of architecture. Created as a weekend/holiday getaway for a Pittsburgh department store magnate and his family, the structure is elegantly integrated with the surrounding forrest and stream. The great, ochre-colored platforms have no support beyond their own steel-reenforced concrete, only connecting with the sandstone base of the house at one end. Thus, they appear to hover over the water. The clear windows which enclose most of the house allow a viewer to see in one side and out the other into the forest beyond. This achieves one of Wright's preferred effects, blurring the line that separates the interior from the out-of-doors. The Pottsville sandstone looks distinguished but also natural, so it doesn't clash with the surrounding environment. The interior radiates the charm of an earlier era, while being ahead of its time, architecturally. Details like the lighting, shelves and ventilation were very innovative, at the time the house was built. By "compression" of the entrance area, the living room is made to feel even larger and grander. (Another technique found in many Wright-designed homes.) The interior is full of art and old world artifacts that belonged to the family. The tour was very comprehensive and detailed. They allow you to take interior pictures on the first floor. I've wanted to visit this spot for quite a while, so it seemed appropriate that it should be my 200th review. read more

Fallingwater is Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural wonder built for the Kaufmann family. Kaufmann's was once a notable Pittsburgh downtown department store that eventually closed down. It took me almost a month to get a reservation for a guided tour but was able to snag one. Currently they are limiting tour groups to a maximum of 6 people due to Co-Vid restrictions which is why they are so popular. My online reservation advised us to get there early since tours sometimes leave late. As we approached the entrance gate we showed the gatekeeper my email confirming our tour and he handed us a slip to take inside with us. Currently they are requiring masks in indoor areas only including the house itself. Once inside the visitor center the receptionist arranged for us to take an earlier tour since we made good time in coming and was advised to wait until they called our tour number to meet at the "broadwalk" as they call it. Our tour was called within 10 minutes and our guide gave us a brief orientation of the house and the surrounding area. We were each given microphone packs with earbuds. The earbuds were ours to return or keep at the end of the tour. Having just fractured a toe earlier this week I was delighted to learn they offer free shuttle service to the house itself. The walk is about 1/4 mile but I figured I better play it safe with my boot on. The shuttle was directly outside the visitor center and the driver not only offered a step up onto the vehicle but also explained and showed me the Meadow picnic area and the garden house the people on foot were seeing as rode by. I was able to meet up with the group in front of the house itself. Prior to entering the house we learned the bridge is currently under construction. There is no touching anything inside or sitting on any or the furniture. You are however, permitted to take pictures for personal use. We toured both the inside of the main building including the kitchen, saw the babbling falling water nearby, saw the carports, and toured the guesthouse. It was fascinating learned that the family went with an Oriental motif but we were able to see a piece of Mexican sculpture along the way. We learned about the topography and the architectural design. The tour ended with us going to the famous outside "view" where you can snap a ton of pictures of the entire building. After that my group headed up 60 some stairs back to the visitor's center while I and some others took the shuttle back. The visitor's center has a small café where you can dine in an open area setting and a gift shop. Memberships are available as well. The place has a number of trails for self exploration and if you wish then you can do a self guided tour on your own including the house. My husband and I took an easy walk to the bird's eye overlook to conclude our visit. I was pleased with the fact that they are accommodating to those who are physically challenged. The staff and services were outstanding and this is definitely a must see just to get away from the hustle and bustle and take in the surroundings of nature as well as an architectural masterpiece. read more

Fallingwater (and local Kentuck Knob) are destinations. Do not come on a lark. Tickets sell out months in advance. It is not near anything else. The docents give a great variety of tours, audio boosted by small personal earbud allowing you to hear at a distance. The added flexibility allows you to hear and look at what interests you. Nice complex away from the house with information, trail routes with access to waking sticks and umbrellas, a small cafe, and a lovely gift shop. read more

We had a fantastic time touring this amazing home. Fallingwater has been on my "must see" bucket list for years and I was not disappointed. When you enter, the visitor center is just as nice and interesting as the house. We had a very lively and passionate tour guide (sorry, I don't remember her name) and of course, we loved taking pictures of this beautiful home. If you are anywhere near this town, it's a must stop and see! read more

Fallingwater - Fallingwater! - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Mill Run, Pennsylvania

I've always wanted to visit this iconic Frank Lloyd Wright designed house and luckily I had the chance to do so this summer. There's not much to say other than the vision of this architect speaks for its self. Tickets are easily purchased online. We made reservations about two weeks in advance, but could not get the inside tours. We reserved the self-guided outside tour which was still worthwhile. When we arrived the sign said no admission without a reservation as the day was full. The self-guided tour was fine. The scenery is stunning and make the location of the house all the more impressive. There are docents around the grounds, so even with a self-guided tour you get access to insight and information. The docents were uniformly helpful and pleasant. We also go to overhear parts of guided tours, which added information that we would not have known. The whole time at Fallingwater was only about an hour, and I don't know that there was a lot more to see or do. A guided tour probably would have extended our stay, but this was a side trip on a journey to Pittsburgh. Well worth going out of our way to see this impressive landmark. I wish I could give this experience more than five stars. From the time we drove onto the property, everyone we encountered who worked at the site was just fantastic. Just wonderfully friendly and upbeat people. The house is clearly gorgeous, but there really is something to experiencing it firsthand. There's a small café to grab a quick bite and coffee if you need. Fallingwater lives up to its hype. Beautiful grounds and an amazing house way ahead of its time. Nothing like it. read more

Stopped here on our way back from Pittsburgh Sunday afternoon. We had planned to come on Saturday - but they close the park at 4pm. Not sure why especially in the summer months but that's their hours. First and foremost- you NEED TO GET A RESERVATION if you plan to take a house tour- which is $33 / adult. If not, you'll be like us and drive up and have to say that you don't have a reservation and hope they aren't booked. There is the option to just walk the grounds and not go into the house (which starts at 2:00pm) but if you're there to go into the house, you should go into the house. Somewhat decent parking- nice shady area around where a summer afternoon isn't going to really hurt your time. The visitor center is nice and shady- cafe is there for refreshments, and also a store in which I could have spent $$$$$$$ if I had no fear and wanted to pay $405 for a cashmere blanket. Wow. The house was being restored in some spots- so we didn't get the unadulterated sights- but still this is a spot my family always wanted to take me and now I can say I have gone. Very cool place - don't expect to take pictures or even try bc the place is wired with cameras to pop people who try. Your guide we had didn't really give us too much info - especially some juicy tidbits which would have been nice - but really, this place speaks for itself. If I hit the lottery, I'll make an offer. read more

Fun spot to explore and especially on a nice fall day when the leaves are changing but the temperatures aren't too low! I think it was roughly $17 dollars a person which seems a little steep just to walk the grounds, but this is one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences that we felt justified the price. Even though we didn't walk through the residences, we had access to a couple of the balconies and all of the trails around the house with different vantage points. Overall, great experience but not one I would come back for. read more

Probably the most spectacular private home ever built. Even though they give tours to a huge number of people they really have their act together. We were greeted warmly at entrance booth and given useful directions on where to park for the best access to the visitor center. Their customer facilities are top notch, clean restrooms, well stocked gift shop, nice cafe, they did everything well. The house and grounds are stunning, many people having life changing experiences here every day. Will return often as it is really inspiring to see in a variety of seasons and weather conditions, my favorite is when it's raining and you can watch the water cascading through the inventive drainage systems ( sorry the house doesn't leak). read more

Fallingwater is a place I've always wanted to go to and I'm not sure how it took me so many years to get to considering I grew up in this region, but I have to say it was definitely worth the wait. The one thing I wish I did prior to visiting was actually doing more research on, well, everything needed to make the most of the day so allow me to help you: While making a tour reservation is not required, it's definitely encouraged. If you don't, you're subject to any available time which may be much later than you wanted or not at all. The woman at the front entrance mentioned going to the information booth about potentially being moved up, but it's not a guarantee. Pricing and hours: Fallingwater is open from 10am-4pm daily with the exception of Wednesday because that day it's closed. The Web site lists the price of the tour as $30, but the sign said $33 when we pulled in. If you just want to do the grounds, which is what we did since we didn't book a tour prior, is $10. Parking is a breeze and once you're inside it all kind of just flows easily for you. Not very easy to get lost here. Plus, you'll get a map of the grounds as well. Even just doing the grounds tour is amazing. You'll still get to see the house, but you just don't get to go inside, which is okay in some ways. The grounds are so sprawling and picturesque for both your social media page and for actual beautiful landscape photography. The sounds of falling water bring such a feeling of peace over you. You can spend as much time inside once you're there, and you're going to want to, believe me. At the information area you'll find a café, sitting area, the cleanest restrooms ever, and course, a gift shop. I'm so happy I was able to finally make it to Fallingwater. One day I'll make it inside the house, but for now, I'm just happy I got to go at all. read more

I came here basically on a whim. It was one of those places that every architecture student sees in their textbooks and I didn't realize it was driving distance from my place. Once, I found that out, I just had to go visit Fallingwater. The drive was a bit much for me, but I made it work just to cross it off my to do list. They have a good amount of hiking/walking around the famous house, but most people come here for the iconic view. If you do the house tour, they do not take you to that view. They bring you inside and out, which did inspire me a bit. I was a bit shocked how narrow the hallways and the house is, but I was amazed about how they built the house around the natural environments rather than set the environment to match the house's design. Definitely worth a look, but if your goal is the iconic view, then a ticket to be just on the outside would suffice. For me, I drove quite a bit so I was focused on finishing everything that this place had to offer. read more

I can't comment on the tour because we never even started it, but I can comment on the treatment we received. While we were waiting for our tour to begin, an elderly member of our group of three developed an urgent medical issue that required us to leave. I told the person behind the desk we needed to leave, told her why, and asked if a raincheck was possible. Without even looking up, without even expressing any concern, she told me I could call the main office and try, but "I've never heard of them doing it" (allowing a raincheck). If that's the policy, so be it. I didn't ask for a refund, only a raincheck. Curious if our $99 was really such a critical element of the $5 million annual revenue Western Pennsylvania Conservancy takes in from Fallingwater admissions. And whether the goodwill aspect is worth anything at all. read more

There is nothing else like it in the United States...maybe even the world? (I will have to verify the second part of the statement.) I've had this place bookmarked for a long time. When I decided to visit Pennsylvania, I made this place a priority. Doing my research, every website including the official one for Fallingwater did not disclose if purchasing tickets were mandatory. All the tours were booked. I tried my luck and arrived right when the park was opening, on the very second. The attendant asked if I had reservations which I didn't. To my luck, if visitors come early enough, reservations are not needed. I almost cried, I was so thrilled. The entire property is gorgeous and kept well. The staff is friendly and helpful. There are signs everywhere so getting lost should not happen. They have a cafe. They have a museum store. All proceeds go back to maintaining Fallingwater. A review won't do this place justice but here are some good tips: - Reservations are not mandatory, but entrance to the park is first come first serve ($10). If you do not have reservations and you come late, you probably will not get in. - Wear proper shoes, there is light hiking involved. - There might not be a cellular signal. - Wear a light sweater/jacket. Visit this place if you can! It is one of a kind! read more

We had an amazing time visiting this historic and architectural wonder! Tickets were bought ahead of our visit and this was very convenient.

Beautiful scenery along the way. read more

The house and ground are beautiful. You are giving a good taste of what Frank Lloyd Wright cherished Other than in the cafe, many employees were unfriendly and less than helpful. Instead of suggesting their shuttle, a woman told my friend that her walker was not allowed. Babies are not allowed, even in a pouch on mother's front. Our tour guide was condescending and sometimes spoke sharply. The earphones were irritating and unnecessary for most. Instead of explaining how the house was designed, she would ask how we felt. It would be far more helpful to say, "We're entering a small hallway. It is small to contrast with the spaciousness of the next room". Instead of he asking how we felt in the hallway read more

We were lucky enough to do the in-depth morning tour and if I were ever to come back or recommend a tour to friends, I would highly recommend that one. You get to go in rooms you otherwise wouldn't see, the tour lasts almost two hours, and you get to take pictures!!! The tour groups aren't usually that big so 4-11 people per your group which is manageable and the house itself is quite a feat! I really enjoyed learning about the way the natural and architecture merge together fo form the organic style house. It really is an impressive building. It's not especially warm and cozy but it is a piece of art.

Drive over an hour to view the home. Upon arrival, we were notified that a reservation was needed to see the inside of the house. There were outside tours of the property available, to walk outside and look into the home. In order to view the woods outside, proof of vaccination or a recent negative a Covid test was required............... Seriously, a Covid vaccination to walk in the woods? Will NOT be returning. read more

Really great experience. We took a guided tour of the grounds and the house and were able to see and learn so much. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The house was awesome to see and although it's a bit out of the way from anything else, it was definitely worth visiting. read more

An absolutely stunning landmark with a rich and fascinating history. The tour guides were insightful and definitely planted grains of curiosity and inspiration in my mind. Went home and researched the family, the art in the house, Frank Lloyd Wright, and any other house of his I may have the privilege of touring at some point in the future. I loved it so much, I went there twice in the span of a month and a half. Worth a visit even in the rain (it rained both times I went). read more

Let's just open with the good stuff. The house and immediate grounds are amazing. But be warned when booking tickets. They have several options where you pay significant sums of money to walk outside and see nothing but trees. I mean what person would drive a minimum of 45min into the wilderness of western Pennsylvania to see trees?!?! The information desk people are condescending and rude, the gift shop is a trap of crap (using this phrasing for the rhyming) as there's very little that actually is related to Fallingwater. HOWEVER.... Despite all the hurtles the staff and website put in your way, it's amazing!!! read more
