Made a two day whirlwind tour of the Wright homes in the area. Would vote our guide at the Kentuck Knob as the best one of all 3 places. Loved the house, gift shop, ice cream and tour.

Really lovely Frank Lloyd Wright house (more interesting than the Duncan house). Plus two other modernist homes. The guide who took us around was very effective and extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

An amazing mega usonian Frank Lloyd Wright house! From the Windows to the hexagons, a wow!! Much thought went into this house and it's truly charming. Unfortunately, you cannot take pictures in the house which is truly a shame. Don't really understand why. Would love to savor those moments in my photos. The inside is way more amazing than the outside. One note is you have to take a shuttle to and from the house to the parking lot. The wait for the shuttle was unbearable due to gnats. If advise to bring some bug spray and a hat.

GORGEOUS! Would definitely recommend and/or go again. Our tour guide was very informative, and knew a TON about the house. Was great seeing what FLW was thinking when creating each aspect of the house, and how it was executed. Stunning inside and very very very well kept. Every aspect of this trip was great.

As mentioned approximately 13 miles from Laurel Caverns is Kentuck Knob. If you're familiar with FLW homes this one can't be missed. The shuttle will take you from the entrance to the house. After the house tour I highly recommend the Woodland Walk. You will see post World War II items along the way.

Built in 1956 by the Hagen family ( the ice cream family) and designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the house is a great example of his work. The surrounding grounds contain samples of work by famous sculptors, even a section of the Berlin Wall! Its a great way to spend two to three hours.

Incredible experience. We liked this more than Fallingwater. Tour guides are just incredible. Definitely get some Hagan's ice cream after the tour.

We paired this with a day of seeing Fallingwater, and it was a great addition to the tour. Nice to see something so grand as Fallingwater, and then an "average" spec home built by Frank Lloyd Wright. Like Fallingwater, make sure you allot enough time to seeing the house and the surrounding grounds - rural Pennsylvania is stunning.

Personally, I liked this far better than Falling Water. The sculpture garden is more distributed and not as good IMHO. Still, great place to visit.

Beautiful setting, amazing architecture, and vast views. Our tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable about every detail of the home. Did not get a chance to compare to Fallingwater, but this is a stand alone gem on the edge of the beautiful Ohiopyle State Park that should not be missed! The gift shop (greenhouse) provides good food, ice cream and beverages from a friendly staff to keep you entertained during a short wait for a bus to take your tour up the hill to the home. Ohiopyle is just a few miles away if you prefer the casual dining of a quaint river town.
