GAP MILE 71- Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpiece , built in 1935, partially cantilevered out over a small waterfall in quiet woods. It is a very hilly 4 miles bike ride from Ohiopyle, but well worth it!

Really cool. they have both a 1-hr and a 2-hour docent-led tour . the latter is booked up months in advance but the 1 hr is perfect.

If driving via Route 40, pay close attention to the turn at 318/Farmington-Ohiopyle Rd. It's EASY to miss and there are no heads-up signs to indicate you're anywhere near Fallingwater.

Kristin Walker

The tour guide wasn't the greatest with info but the house is amazing & must see for those that like architecture & design.

Michee Lee

For those who want to pick up the Lego architecture of the Falling Water, don't get it at the gift shop , it's a lot cheaper at barnes and noble :)

Nikki Blake

Many pretentious people around, but the house is awesome. I've never seen anything like it. Just try to block out all the prissiness and you'll have a good time

Kurt Donath

Tons of rhododendron on property. We went on July 3rd and all the flowers had come off - go earlier - the flowers would be awesome!

Beautiful Frank Lloyd Wright home! Very knowledgeable tour guide .
