A structural marvel, the house is perched on top of Deer Shelter Rock in Wisconsin. Overlooking a panorama of Wyoming Valley, the attraction offers just as much within as it does with its view of the great outdoors. The house was designed and built by Alex Jordan who wanted to immerse individuals in a home that ignited all of their senses. With features like waterfalls, massive fireplaces, walls of rock, oriental art, a bell gallery and a three-story bookcase filled with rare books, your eyes, ears and nose will have their work cut out for them! Although the house was originally built with 13 rooms in the 1940s, a 14th room was added in 1985. This addition built with walls of glass containing 3,264 windows to be exact, projects 218 feet over the Wyoming Valley. It’s as if you’re standing among the treetops and watching the world below you. Dubbed the Infinity Room, this all-glass room even has a glass cocktail table providing you a view of the forest floor 156 feet below.
Other rooms within the house feature a furnished dollhouse collection and the world’s largest indoor carousel. If you’re heading to the top of the rock during Christmas, you’ll enter a St. Nick wonderland with over 6,000 collections of the jolly man to be seen. With beautiful scenery and a number of rooms filled with peculiar features, it’s no wonder people make the trek up to House on the Rock.
