Two Frank Lloyd Wright masterpieces sit minutes apart in the Laurel Highlands. Here's how to see Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob on a single unforgettable day.
The Laurel Highlands is hallowed ground for design lovers: two of Frank Lloyd Wright's most celebrated houses sit just minutes apart, surrounded by the same forests our cabins call home.
Fallingwater
Cantilevered dramatically over a waterfall on Bear Run, Fallingwater is regularly named one of the greatest works of American architecture. Guided tours walk you through Wright's vision of building *with* nature rather than on top of it. Tickets sell out in peak season, so book ahead at fallingwater.org. Give yourself time for the grounds and the trails — the setting is half the magic.
Kentuck Knob
A short drive away, Kentuck Knob is Wright's quieter, more intimate Usonian home, with a beautiful hilltop sculpture meadow and sweeping views. It pairs naturally with Fallingwater for a full day of design and landscape.
Make a day of it
- Morning: Fallingwater tour + grounds
- Lunch: Ohiopyle or a local farm-to-table spot
- Afternoon: Kentuck Knob + the sculpture meadow
- Evening: back to the cabin hot tub
