The house
NemacolinOrganic architecture citadel
Perched beside the Mystic Rock golf greens, this secluded boutique enclave feels like an exclusive, members-only clubhouse in the Laurel Highlands.

Inspired by the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, the boutique Falling Rock at Nemacolin takes its cues from nearby Fallingwater…
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set across a 2,200-acre mountain estate, the property sits amid southwestern Pennsylvania woodlands, minutes from regional hiking trails and Fallingwater.
The rooms
Private balconies overlook the fairway, while bathrooms feature 200-gallon jet soaking tubs and customized bath rituals prepared by round-the-clock butlers.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated triangular infinity pool sits on the terrace deck, looking directly across the eighteenth green of Mystic Rock.
The gym
Stone walls and wood ceilings enclose the private fitness room, which is equipped with cardio machines and free weights.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Aqueous serves seafood beside floor-to-ceiling fairway views, and Amber Bar mixes evening cocktails beneath an Art Deco ceiling.
How it began
Architect David Merritt, a Taliesin alumnus, shaped the property with dramatic cantilevers and native fieldstone inspired by regional organic architecture.
