History
Falling Rock is a boutique luxury hotel within the Nemacolin resort in Farmington, Pennsylvania, which opened in 2004. Designed by architect David Merritt, a protege of the Frank Lloyd Wright tradition schooled at Taliesin, the forty-two-room hotel channels Wright's Prairie-style organic architecture, echoing the famous nearby Fallingwater house.
Built at a reported cost of around sixty-eight million dollars, Falling Rock anchors the golf-focused side of Nemacolin, the sprawling Laurel Highlands resort founded in 1987 by Joseph Hardy of the 84 Lumber fortune. It offers butler service and a refined, design-driven counterpoint to the resort's larger chateau.
