Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater: an Intimate Experience for $1,195
By mikepayne
Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater: a more Intimate Experience – Frank Lloyd Wright’s most iconic, and easily most popular home will now be available to select groups of overnight guests. While regular visitors to Fallingwater pay $18 for a full tour of the property, a group of 8 visitors will be given an exclusive, extensive tour of the home with the premises entirely to themselves. During the visit, the property will be closed to other guests, providing private access of the 5,300 square foot home. For $1,195, these exclusive visitors will feel what living in Fallingwater is truly like, although they will sleep in a new Frank Lloyd Wright style home on the property grounds.
For the decades since the public opening of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater, the home has been a point of pilgrimage for the famed architect’s fans. For those who have visited it before or have yet to, it is likely that this offering will bring a steady group of dedicated visitors whose business will ensure that Fallingwater can be maintained for many more decades to come. Four million people have visited the home since it’s public open, about ninety minutes from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Visit Fallingwater.org for more details on this offering. [via nydailynews]

Though I admire the architectural design, as far as it being a "home" or "intimate experience" those are words that do not describe the place. It has an "eerie" feeling as you walk through the extremely small hallways. You can hear your voice echoing in all the rooms and of course it just smells "old". It is actually better to spend $10 on a book showing its photos then to spend $18 on the rushed tour through the place.

.I have been there, several times in fact. The beauty and genius of it all never ceases to amaze me.
Though it does smell, the smell is woodsy and of the earth and nature, for there is a live tree around which one of the rooms is built. Nature’s stream is simply a floor below and her beauty is all encompassing.
I guess it would be a disappointment to one accustom to prefabs

I was so taken by its beauty, internally and externally, that I actually cried looking out the corner window on the second floor.

Agree entirely. You got the smell right, too. It's part of the setting.
