This is another of Frank Lloyd Wright's homes he built. The house itself is beautiful! The tour was very informative. We were able to go through all of the rooms except the staff quarters. The way it's built over the stream, and the way the decks are placed really pulls you to the outside rather than stay inside. It is... More

Fallingwater is a beautiful and tranquil place to visit. The house is remarkable the way it sits over the waterfalls. The grounds are beautiful and the visiter center is very nice. We had lunch at their cafe and where pleasantly surprised how good the food was.

When we booked the in-depth tour at Fallingwater a few months ago, I thought it was a lot of money: after having visited I would say that it's totally worth every penny. We got to see every area of the main house as well as the guesthouse, and it's a total masterpiece. No picture can do this house justice. Our... More

Be sure to take the In-Depth tour. You go in every room, are allowed to take pictures and get a great understanding of who Frank Lloyd Wright was and his style

This is one of those must-see attractions that measures up to its hype, and exceeds it. I was really inspired by my two hour visit. I can only dream about what it must have been like to live here. Wright really accomplished his goal of having the house become a part of its environment. And what an environment!

Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater house brings the outdoors inside though expansive windows, cantilevered terraces, and local stone that is integrated in the interior and exterior architecture. The beautiful 75-year-old home seems to be holding up quite well, although they have been fixing cracks and dealing with some weight-related issues. I enjoyed Ed's tour very much. There was a fair amount... More

This is a great place to visit, unique and beautiful. We learned more about it after reading National Geographic's Traveler magazine. The architecture is incredible, seeing half the house hanging over the creek, Bear Run. The house is built in to the surroundings, with pieces of boulders part of the floor plan. The tour is worth the time and money.... More

My wife has wanted to see this place for years and i'm glad we went. It's tour guided and the guides are very well trained. You need to book in advance. Gift items are real pricey and there is a snack shop.

This is probably the easiest five star review I've written. This is not just another tour of a celebrity home. It's a walk into history. It's a very well executed and informative tour of this Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece. I won't go on and on because there is so much information available online about this home, but this is an...
