Put this wonderful home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright on your one - or two day trip list. It is truly unique and fabulous to see. Take the tour and enjoy all the great information that's provided. Wear walking shoes, though. You'll start by parking in one of the two lots after you go through the toll house. Walk over to the visitors center and check in. There is a bright, clean cafe there that serves nice sandwiches and salads. Have lunch there, if you will. There's big restrooms in this pavilion; and make sure you use them before starting the 1+ hour tour. Lynne V. was our guide, and she was great! We actually arrived a little early for our noon appointment, which you make online, but they got us in an earlier group. Lynne was so informed, giving us wonderful insight and knowledge of everything, and she kept our group together and moving along, stopping in each area of the home. You will learn about how Wright thought and incorporated his ideas with nature and the surroundings. He also employed a design technique called: Compress and Release. You will see it and feel it. One can't help but marvel at the cantelever designs that were incorporated by Wright for his clients, the Kaufmans. This unique and absolutely fascinating home should be seen by those who not only appreciate architecture, but those that understand a bit about being one with nature. You'll see how Wright tied it all together. I highly recommend seeing this National Historic Site and home. Please put it on your bucket list and your next trip. BTW: we stayed approximately 25 minutes away in Uniontown at a Hilton Garden hotel. There's plenty of accommodations and restaurants in that town. Enjoy!

We happened to be in the area and decided to stop by. Unfortunately, because we did not reserve tickets ahead of time, all the tickets that would give us access to tour the inside of Falling Waters and the grounds were sold out. The only option we had was to purchase tickets to see the grounds to Falling Waters. I have to say that the price of the tickets, $17 per person, just to view the outside grounds, peek in the windows of the house, visit the visitors center, and the museum/store, were worth the cost if you like architecture and take interest in how things are built. This house is a National monument so it was pretty busy while we were here. The price to do the tour that would include a tour of the grounds, the inside of the house, and access to the visitor center and the museum/store was $34 per person. Not sure if I will go back and pay that full price again just to see the inside of the house and take the tour. I feel just peeking into the windows gave me enough of an idea of what the house looks like, but I do think I'd enjoy the info I'd get to hear from the tour guide, so, I don't know, it's a toss up as to whether or not it's worth another $34 per person to get that information or not. It definitely was a cool place to go and see though and I loved the store/museum as it definitely has a lot of cool and interesting things you don't see many places you go. I'm glad that we decided to stop and feel it was worth the the time and I enjoyed seeing it and think it's an interesting piece of history worth checking out.
