The master bedroom has its own private kitchen, a fireplace and a balcony overlooking the river. |

 The Gaming Room has as it's focal point a magnificent stained glass skylight above the poker table. |
| The most unique feature of the house is the “Cave” This hidden passageway takes the visitor from the lower level to the main floor and is accessed by way of a very secret, unique doorway. Immediately upon entering the cave visitors notice a wooden door leading to the wine cellar. The cellar boasts an authentic moonshine still as the focal point. The pathway through the cave winds approximately 100 feet past small waterfalls and pools with stalactites and stalagmites, ever upwards to a rough oak door, which opens into the swimming pool room. A complete wall mural in the pool room depicts popular scenes from Germany.

Mr. Brown's wish was that his collection was to be displayed in his home rather than to be a warehouse type of museum. The result is that tours see the beautiful rooms in the house along with hearing the automatic music in a comfortable, attractive setting. |
Bayernhof is open year round to the public by appointment to groups of no more than twelve. In keeping with the museum’s mission statement, “Education through Preservation, Preservation through Education” we welcome historic preservation groups, college groups, architectural societies, musical societies or others who will enjoy seeing this fine home and collection of automatic musical instruments. Children must be 12 years old to accompany adults on this tour.
