The closest inn accommodations to Frank Lloyd Wrights Fallingwater and his Kentuck Knob, the Summit Inn sits majestically atop Chestnut Ridge in the beautiful Laurel Highlands of Southwestern Pennsylvania, about 50 miles south of Pittsburgh.
With its turn of the century splendor, the Summit Inn beckons to the modern day traveler to stop, rest, and journey back to a simpler time. A time when life was slower and the cares of the day were not as urgent as they are today.Situated on the historic National Road Americas first federally funded highway, the Summit Inn is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
This historic landmark has hosted diverse travelers through the decades. From German outdoor enthusiasts embarking on a whitewater rafting expedition at nearby Ohiopyle State Park, to Australian architects visiting Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob, they all agree that the Summit Inn is the center of both natural and major tourists attractions in the Laurel Highland.Since its grand opening in 1907, the Summit Inn has played a key role in the history of the area. And like the mountains that it rests upon, it too has survived the passage of time. Long before man ever dreamt of flight, guests of the Summit were lulled to sleep to the sound of calm mountain breezes that blew outside its windows. Through four wars and one depression, the Summit Inn has afforded its guests a welcoming getaway where strangers meet and leave as friends.
