  • There is NO bigger waste of time
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/18/09
    Let me BEG you to heed this review. The House on the Rock, which at first sounds like it might be something of interest, at the end of the day has gobbled up a tremendous entrance fee from your wallet ($75 for our family of three), and lots of TIME that you will never get back. The guy that built this place was an eccentric fruitcake. The layout of ...

  • Plan to take the day.
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/26/08
    This was the most interesting and I must say odd tour I've ever been on. It was well worth the trip and the money. I had to buy the tour book so I could show people, because I would never have been able to explain it. There are interesting collections for ALL ages and your feet will tire before your interest does. Hang onto the kids, because it ...

  • LOVE THE HOUSE ON THE ROCK
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/06/08
    THE HOUSE WAS SO DIFFERENT FROM ANYTHING I'D EVER SEEN. DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO SEE IT ALL. WE'VE BEEN THERE TWICE. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST KEPT SECRETS.

  • Awful waste of money
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/27/07
    I simply can't imagine how anyone could write a positive review about this place! It is literally the worst thing we've ever spent money on, and we travel a lot and take many tours. The place REEKS of must, mold, and mildew -- I wouldn't want to spend longer than the half hour we were there, much less the 3-5 hours that is ...

  • What Have You Done?
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/28/07
    When I was a little girl in the sixties, my family took me to House on the Rock. I went again in the seventies and the early eighties. I loved it. I accredit my love for stained glass to my early exposure to the place.
    BUT......
    I went there again the other day to see the house again and I was thoroughly disappointed to what has been done to ...

  • Pricey but OK
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/16/06
    Compared to other hotels this was rather pricey, however the rooms were very clean and comfortable.
    The pool area was excellent, especially for those with children although for the average person just wanting to swim it was best to use at quiet times.
    Continental breakfast was included in the price of the room which was adequate.
    The hotel ...

  • Always see something new
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/07/06
    We've been to the house four times now. We always find something that is new to see. What a great experience. Particularly if you like things that are a bit out of the ordinary. Only 2 complaints - the smell of garlic from the whale room is overwhelming at times (because of the pizza place) and several of the music machines didn't work ...

  • Great weekend escape
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/07/06
    We visited the House on the Rock and enjoyed the experience. Something to see for everyone. Very interesting and it was amazing to see just how much stuff was in there. The "house" itself was mind blowing once you read all the posted info about how it was built stone by stone and such. One word of advice, if you're taller than ...

  • Worth the trip
    By RichardV, 07/01/05
    There is no way to describe this place. We were just amazed at how well organized and unique this place was. Plan on spending a day there, and you still won't see it all!
