1. Fallingwater
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 2,689 reviews
Perched on a rock above a gushing waterfall, this historic house was built for a Pittsburgh family by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in the 1930s, ingeniously designed to blend harmoniously into the tranquil and beautiful woods around it.

I wish I could have gone inside, but there are so many windows that much of the interior is visible anyway. There was no waiting for the self guided tour and I could have taken a guided tour with only a 90 minute wait. I decided I'd wait for the guided tour until they reopen the interior... And hope I am near enough again to go visit. I would suggest some familiarity with FLWs philosophy and history of your going to take the self guided tour. I think it adds an appreciation and a richness to the tour that would be sorely missing otherwise. A detail I learned with a bit of research is that this unique and amazing house was constructed in 1930, during the depression, as a weekend retreat. Being able to wander the grounds are a nice bonus. The gift shop is open with a limited number allowed inside at a time. Gloves and masks are provided and must be worn. Many items are typical of FLW gift shops. More than worth the price of admission. Oh.... And don't forget to go to the guest house!

Considering 200,000 people are within 1/2 mile of this location during every home Penn State football game & you can stop there & feel like you have the place to yourself is awesome & truly overlooked by many. We stayed the weekend at goPSUrv & visited The Arboretum on a Sunday morning.

Located at the southern reaches of the Laurel Ridge, Ohiopyle State Park encompasses approximately 20,500 acres of rugged natural beauty and serves as the gateway to the Laurel Highlands. Close to major metropolitan areas and offering vast choices of activities. Passing through the heart of the park, the rushing waters of the Youghiogheny River Gorge are the centerpiece for Ohiopyle. The "Yough" provides some of the best whitewater boating in the eastern United States, as well as spectacular scenery. Other activites are biking the Great Allegheny Passage, mountain biking, hunting, fishing, picnicking, horsebacking riding, rock climbing, and hiking.

Excellent place to rent bikes and take in the beautiful scenery~ the guided white water rafting trips are really fun for a group or a couple! There are hiking trails and places to hang near the water to cool off as well! It’s definitely a yearly fall visit for us!

5. Kentuck Knob

Reviewed By DivineMissMaja - Silver Spring, United States
This is a completely different experience from Fallingwater, but no less spectacular. I would not say that this is actually a typical Usonian home built for the "masses" since, in this case, it cost about 10x as much to build as the comfortable suburban house where I grew up, which was of equivalent size and built at approximately the same time. The design balances solid practicality with creative features in wood and stone. I like how the house was designed to be integral to the site rather than designed and then just plopped on the site. After the tour, you can walk around the grounds to view the extensive collection of sculpture (most of which left me scratching my head but, oh well, the woods were lovely), and it is a pleasant walk back down the hill to the visitor center/gift shop/cafe. Access to the house is via winding country roads, so leave yourself plenty of time to get there.
6. Johnstown Inclined Plane
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 455 reviews
Built to remove citizens from Johnstown in case of a flood, this is the world's steepest vehicular inclined plane.
Reviewed By Pzini - Cherry Hill, United States
This is a real gem- built in 1890 and still operating (with some restoration) in the same original form. The view is great. The ride is unique. If you've already visited the Flood Museum, or Flood National Memorial, the view from the top of Yoder Hill offers a good panorama of Johnstown and the valley that was overwhelmed by the flood. Another good reason to take the ride is the reasonable cost, and the knowledge that the Incline Plane is operated as a non-profit by the Cambria County Transit Authority, and the fare will help them keep this gem operating. If you want to go crazy, you can take your car up to the top with you, and drive around the Westmont neighborhood. Or, if you are a mountain biker, take your bike up, and ride down on the mountain biking trail (no beginners please! See "Friends of the Inclined Plane Trails" on Facebook) There is a snack bar and souvenir shop at the top, and a separate restaurant, Asiago's.

I can say this is the best winery I’ve been to. Let’s start with the wine tasting! Everything was simply delicious! The atmosphere was relaxing with great seating options! Due to PA laws with COVID You can bring outside food or purchase cheese, salami and crackers from the vineyard for about 20$. I will definitely return! This is a place that you MUST visit if you’re in the area or visiting Penn State.
8. Christian W. Klay Winery
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 83 reviews
Fayette Springs Farm was a suitable place for the Klays’ venture as the farm had a long history of entertaining and welcoming guests. At the turn of the century, the farm was owned by U.S. Senator William E. Crow who opened his mountain estate to many visitors including President Harding and Black Jack Pershing. Today, the winery offers guests entertaining special events, informative and educational tours, ideal venues for private events, complimentary wine tasting, and shopping in two locations. An active partner in the community, the winery also hosts annual benefits for Fayette Friends of Animals and other non-profit organizations. Stop in and sample our award-winning wine made from the 18 acres of grapes we grow on the ridges of Chalk Hill Pa. 100% Farm to Bottle!

I love this winery. Went for tasting and bought a bottle of Blanc De Lafayette. It’s my favorite. Must stop when in the Laurel Highlands!
