Set on a secluded two-acre landscape, this design-forward home blends organic architecture, natural beauty, and refined comfort into a one-of-a-kind stay near Deep Creek Lake. Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and Prairie School architect John Van Bergen, the home reflects a deep connection to nature through low rooflines, expansive windows, and carefully curated interiors. Originally designed by a longtime contributor to Fallingwater, and now reimagined as a refined guest experience, Fleur de Montagna offers concierge services, curated breakfast offerings, and modern amenities—all while preserving its architectural integrity. Ideal for couples and design-focused travelers, the home accommodates up to four guests in a peaceful, private setting surrounded by forest, farmland, and native ferns. Not just a place to stay—but a place to belong. Guests will enjoy a thoughtfully curated interior featuring Mission-style furnishings, art glass windows, and subtle Japanese influences that create a sense of balance and calm. Light-filled spaces evolve throughout the day, offering an immersive connection to the surrounding landscape. As part of the Fallingwater partnership program, your stay supports its preservation while extending the architectural experience beyond the tour. Located near Deep Creek Lake and the Appalachian Highlands, this is a rare opportunity to experience a private architectural retreat where design, nature, and tranquility come together.
