All About the Laurel Highlands
Pennsylvania's Laurel Highlands is where spectacular scenery meets legendary architecture. Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater synthesizes the area's natural beauty seamlessly with one of the world's icons of modernism. Just six miles away is Wright's Kentuck Knob, another architectural masterpiece. And a third Wright-designed home, the Duncan House, accommodates overnight guests.

But the Laurel Highlands are more than that. The Youghiogheny River, the Great Allegheny Passage, Mystic Rock golf course, and Pennsylvania's highest mountain make for some great outdoor fun. And Seven Springs Mountain Resort was voted the #1 Ski Resort in the Mid-Atlantic by Ski Magazine. Spas, amusement parks, historic sites, wineries, and more make this an ideal getaway spot.
