Fallingwater, located in Pennsylvania, is an amazing house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in the 1930’s. It is an amazing feat where architecture is melded into nature. The house is built over a waterfall…astounding. Those who are fans of Frank Lloyd Wright, love architecture, or even just nature will enjoy visiting this house and the grounds. During our visit, we enjoyed the guided tour and then ventured out to walk around the grounds.
Some quick tips:
- Be sure to book your tour early (call to reserve your spot or book online) to ensure you don’t miss out. Even in October, I saw days were sold out. For those not interested in touring the house, you can still purchase a pass to walk the grounds.
- Give yourself plenty of time. The small, guided tours take approximately an hour. Afterwards, you are allowed to wander the grounds and take pictures outside. My fiancé and I spent 3 hours here, but if it wouldn’t have been raining we would have spent more time. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking.
- Be prepared for a lot of walking. There is a short hike to the house. From there, the tour takes you up and down many narrow stairs where you eventually end up on top of a small hill. Then you will need to trek back down or have the guide call a car to come get you for those who have problems walking.
