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...

One of the best examples of Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture work, if you are interested in architecture or not, you will enjoy this visit. The house is well preserved and contains all of the previous owners furniture and belongings. Staff were amazing and tour guide is well informed

This was a total joy! my husband surprised me with this trip for our anniversary. We took the indepth 2 hour tour and enjoyed every moment. Surely, FLW didn't do anything greater than this!. We booked well in advance (an absolute necessity) and had only 10 people on the tour. The house in that setting didn't disappoint. Our tour guide,... More

Great tour guides. They have this down to a science. 1 tour leaves every 6 minutes. Plan extra time to stroll the grounds. The cafe is a little pricey for what you get but it's worth eating there given the other options in the area.

I was planning on stopping here to at least walk the grounds and see the outside of the house. However since I am traveling with a small dog, I found out you can't even take your dog out of the parking lot. I had researched the tour times etc,, I expected to not be able to take my dog into... More

In depth tour: full of information. Great access to such an iconic property. We could take photos and it felt like walking into someone's home. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.

This was our first visit to this impressive landmark. We enjoyed it thoroughly. Having read and heard much about Frank Lloyd Wright's creativity, we finally got to see it and to appreciate the ingenuity of his design, incorporating the house into its surrounding nature for the property owners. Do go. You'll be glad you did. The guided tour for our... More
