For those of you who want to stay overnight in the area, there is a
hostel at Ohiopyle, PA. That area is really good for kayacking and
rafting in the Spring. The hostel is best in the Winter, when windows
are closed. There is a train passing by about every hour, and it's
pretty noisy. Choose your locationin thehostel carefully, if you use
it. Howard

When I went three years ago, the reserved, in-depth tours were given every
day at 9:00 before the regular tours began. Has this schedule changed? The
tour I took was with the guide and one other person. It was as if the house
was ours for two hours. It was, indeed, an incredible experience.
According to the AAA Tourguide, Fallingwater is 3 miles northeast of
Ohiopyle on state route 381.
