Awesome place to visit. Lots of info to be read at the site, and something interesting to see around every corner. [Cassady, 08/28/2018]
We were driving down I-80 and saw this on the side. My husband said, "Wanna pull over?" Heck yes! It's easy to get to and quite fun and interesting. Worth it just to see the brick house structure with windows made out of windshields. Met a nice couple there and borrowed their cute little dog, Pez, for a picture with our dog, Zolie.

I have driven by this on countless trips between Reno and Battle Mountain and finally took the time to stop and check it out. Definitely worth a stop to see all the strange art the original owner amassed and built a home out of. The sky and mountains around it make for wonderful photo opportunities.
