Frank Lloyd Wright's Kentuck Knob — Attraction in Stewart Township

My partner and I visited Kentuck Knob on a Wednesday afternoon after driving by it multiple times during our camping trip at Ohiopyle simply thinking the land was own by some rich family --- only to discover we had been passing a Frank Lloyd Wright creation --- which is owned by a rich family. There is a Kentuck Knob sign on the road but it's very easy to miss. Going on a Wednesday was great. There weren't any crowds and the vibe was very relaxed. It costs $28 for an adult ticket ($18 for students). This includes a short shuttle ride to the Lloyd Wright house and a guided tour lasting about an hour. There is no photography allowed inside the home (as it's still being used by the family who owns it), but you can take as many pictures as you want while outside and on the veranda. The house is very beautiful, surrounded by acres of trees, with such intent in every detail that you might be able to appreciate it more if you view it with an artist's eye instead of a practical one. I enjoyed hearing how many interventions Mrs. Hagen had to make to a seemingly obstinate Lloyd Wright to make him create something livable for her and her husband instead of something that existed solely as a piece of art. The staff from the gift shop to the tour guide/shuttle driver to the cafe were all extremely friendly. The grounds are beautiful. You can opt to walk back to the gift shop through the thick yet well kept woods. It's maybe a 15 minute walk laden with art sculptures and historical landmarks collected by the current owner. Once back at the gift shop you can choose to get a drink or some ice cream at the cafe. It's a nice way to end the excursion. My one and only complaint is the price. $28 is a lot of money to me for something that only lasts 60-90 minutes. When something costs more than what I'd pay for a museum in NYC I find it difficult to say it's worth it - but I figure I'm only going to do this once. I looked up Falling Water prices and those are even more expensive. It's unfortunate because it seems to me that these works of art are meant only for those who have the means to enjoy them, not for the people who have to rely on...

Came out this way for a last minute birthday road trip as Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob had long been on my list. After seeing Fallingwater way early in the morning, I relaxed a bit and came here in the afternoon. It was such a spectacular experience - the weather couldn't have been more perfect, everyone from the staff that I encountered was beyond gracious (Joseph our driver, in particular, who told me all about his history with the house and how it inspired him to be an architect as well), and the house itself was such an interesting juxtaposition to Fallingwater. I loved how Frank Lloyd Wright incorporated the environment into the house: From the radiant heated stone floors, to the hexagons that offered not only beautiful geometric patterns of light but also passive solar heating during the winter, to the hexagonal skylight in the kitchen, and the way in which the home was tucked into the hillside, with the sound of the babbling mini waterfall coming through the windows. The grounds were also incredible, with sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and art installations placed around the property. I would like to give a shout out to our tour guide, LuAnn, who was a riot. Her speaking style was so factual and full of interesting anecdotes, but comedic in her timing. I was constantly laughing to myself. I loved the way she described the issues with the fireplaces in the house :) Thank you for a wonderful end to my...

We came here on Labor Day for a tour. We were unable to get into Fallingwater but we found this on the map and spots were open for an afternoon tour. We booked the tickets online that day prior to arrival.

We checked in at the gift shop and waited for our timed shuttle to arrive. We were on the 2pm tour. The shuttle took us up to the house - it’s probably less than a 5 minute ride. Our tour group was about 10 people.

We were able to take pics outside the house but not inside. The tour lasted about an hour. Our guide was Judy and she was very knowledgeable on the history of the house and its former and current owners. If had to guess I would say she was a teacher at some point.

After the house tour you can ride the shuttle back or walk down the trail. We chose the trail. There is a map you can take along and it will give you some info about artwork and displays along the trail. The length of the trail was a bit over half a mile according to my tracker and you can take however long you want but I am guessing you have to be out of there at closing time. It was a nice walk. The path is stone - were appropriate shoes if you are planning on doing that.

The location is not far from Falingwater, if you time it right you can probably do both in one day.

Parking was a stone lot near the gift shop. There were restrooms there. No restroom at the house or in the trail.
