We arrived about 9 AM at the House on the Rock, stayed about 3 hours. 3 tours, all self guided. Only the first one tours the house. Other 2 are viewing all the huge collections of penny arcade type music contraptions, if you saw them you'd understand why I dubbed them that. Monstrous size for the most part. One room was the organ room, many many huge organs, but not playing, and a huge, I mean huge red glass chandelier. We found out the "house" was not ever lived in, was basically a picnic place, that's how it began, and then was expanded to many rooms. It houses lots of tiffany hanging lights, Oriental art objects, and many eclectic items. We found no bedrooms, did find a kitchen and dining table with benches. Many ceilings were low, and it was dark, made me feel like I was in a cave. To be situated on a rock with fantastic views, it was a shame he covered almost all the windows with blue plexiglass and blocked out most of the light and all the views.
The infinity room itself was worth the whole trip. It's a walkway sticking out in space, roofed, sloped glass walls on both sides. At the end it tapers off so it visually looks like it goes on forever. This was high over the tree tops and has great views all around
