00:01Going on a road trip with my sherry cola.
00:05Going on a road trip with my Darcy Gardens.
00:08Over 60 million Americans stay in vacation rentals every year.
00:11Yeah, but why stay in one of these?
00:17When you can stay in one of these.
00:22That's why we're going on the road to find the coolest and most unique homes away from home.
00:27Wow.
00:28Hey!
00:29That is what I'm talking about.
00:31And guess what?
00:32These are all places you can stay to.
00:37Sherry and I have known each other forever,
00:39and yet somehow we've never gone on a trip together.
00:41Until now.
00:43Whee!
00:44And we're taking you along for the ride.
00:46Ready to hit the road, girlie?
00:48Let's go!
00:50From over-the-top luxury escapes to thrilling action-packed stays you never knew existed.
00:56Hi!
00:57I like to get my hands dirty.
00:59I like to get a little rowdy.
01:00But I'm baby wiping Wi-Fi.
01:02That's right.
01:02You know?
01:02Yay!
01:03I'm all the way up!
01:04I could sleep up here.
01:05I mean, same, but I won't be alive in the morning.
01:07We love you.
01:07We love you.
01:08She liked it all.
01:08Okay, okay, okay.
01:09She liked it all!
01:10Can we get wet now?
01:11We're exploring every corner of the map, baby.
01:14We're testing the vibes.
01:16And figuring out where you could get the most bang for your buck.
01:19Oh my goodness, you went for it.
01:22And which ones deliver memories that make you say, hey, remember that time?
01:25Mm-hmm.
01:26This is the best day of my life!
01:29Each week, we're gonna stay at three different rentals, and we'll choose our ultimate must-stay.
01:34I love going on vacation with you.
01:36So, America, let's get wild!
01:43Do you wanna get out of the city for a while?
01:46Consider taking a trip to the central U.S., known for its wide-open views, farmland for miles, and a
01:53whole lot of outdoor fun.
01:55And our first stop in this lovely region?
01:57Missouri.
01:58For a rental that, judging by the picks, seems to cater to the adrenaline junkies, I gotta say, I'm pretty
02:04excited about this one.
02:06I'm gonna show you guys what we're looking at.
02:07Um, just, I think we're coming up on it.
02:11I'm gonna...
02:12Oh!
02:13Oh!
02:14Oh!
02:15We're looking at what appears to be a full-on race track.
02:19Race track.
02:22I kinda wanna race it, baby.
02:24I'm going.
02:25I'm going.
02:26You know I like to go fast, baby.
02:27Forget about it.
02:29It's totally fine.
02:30Here we go.
02:33We're here!
02:34Okay.
02:35I wanna get in there and see what's going on.
02:37I need to get in there.
02:39We'll get them luggage later.
02:41Here's the thing.
02:41This is kind of like my happy place.
02:44Yeah.
02:44My name is John.
02:45I'm the owner of Little Talladega Bed and Breakfast here in Pomona, Missouri, also known as the Drift Mansion.
02:50This is a 70-acre resort.
02:53Originally, we had plans to open a motorsports park, but decided to change gears and offer something unique that had
02:59never been done before.
03:00This is where hospitality meets horsepower.
03:03Come, let's see what's inside.
03:08Okay.
03:09Ooh, nice kitchen.
03:13Absolutely love the race car bar stools.
03:17I wanna see you upstairs.
03:19I do too.
03:22I wanna say, this is like very clean.
03:25Yeah.
03:26Okay.
03:26Are you seeing this?
03:28Oh!
03:28The dream.
03:30Can you imagine if your parents rented this house and you were a kid?
03:34This is definitely dreamy for any kid.
03:38Okay.
03:38Let's take a little peek outside.
03:39Okay.
03:40It's more than just racing.
03:42It's swimming.
03:43It's swimming.
03:44It's pooping.
03:45It's looping.
03:46It's tennising.
03:51This rules, Sherry.
03:54It's true.
03:54Honestly, I do see this as like fun for the whole family.
03:57Yes.
03:59Is that a barn?
04:00With like...
04:01Wait.
04:01Wait.
04:03Oh.
04:06Okay.
04:08Unreal.
04:10Arcade, racy style.
04:12What are we talking about?
04:14There's a dance floor too.
04:16Dance floor.
04:17Will you play air hockey with me?
04:19I thought you'd never ask.
04:20Let's go.
04:20Ha!
04:21Yeah!
04:22Good, good, good.
04:23All right.
04:23One, one, one, one.
04:24Hey!
04:25Nice.
04:25If you are staying at this house and not taking advantage of the barn or the backyard, you're
04:30doing it wrong.
04:31Yeah, yeah.
04:32You're doing it real wrong.
04:35John!
04:36Ladies.
04:38You guys having fun?
04:39Capital Y-E-S.
04:41It's like a wonderland of treats and thrill.
04:43Do you want to check out some crazy cards?
04:45Yes.
04:45Let's do it.
04:46John.
04:47John.
04:47John.
04:47John.
04:48John.
04:49This is an all-gas activity.
04:50There are no breaks.
04:52So that right there is the hoon handle, okay?
04:55You pull that and the cart is going to drift.
04:57And here's a question.
04:58Yes.
04:58Has anyone ever died doing this?
05:00Not yet.
05:01Okay.
05:02There's still time.
05:02Should we try?
05:03Yes.
05:03Okay.
05:04I love you, Cher.
05:05I love you.
05:06Oh, wow.
05:07Oh!
05:09A little bit of hydraulics.
05:10I'm nervous about the drift.
05:12I don't love it.
05:13I don't love the idea.
05:15I don't love it.
05:16I don't like it.
05:17True!
05:18I love it!
05:20I saw Darcy spinning round and round and round.
05:23She levitated.
05:24I did.
05:24Pure bliss.
05:25Don't count yourself out.
05:26You did so great.
05:27I was cruising.
05:28You know me.
05:28I'm a cruiser.
05:29Okay, we have to buy one of these.
05:32Yes.
05:32And co-parent it.
05:33This is the best day of my life!
05:36I'm having lots of fun too!
05:40I think it might be bedtime soon.
05:42Should we choose where we're going to sleep tonight?
05:43Let's get down to that bottom floor.
05:45Here we go to the right.
05:48Oh my lord, Cher.
05:50Okay.
05:50I want to sleep in this room.
05:51I want to sleep in this room because we love the vintage vibes and also the drive-in vibe.
05:56But the thing about the drive-in is you always think it's going to be great and then you get
06:00there and you're like, I can't really hear, I can't really see.
06:02So this is the best of both worlds.
06:04This way we can watch a movie in the comfort of our own truck.
06:08What are we going to watch?
06:09We're going to watch?
06:10Talladega Nights.
06:11That was amazing.
06:26Oh, men are really something.
06:38Oh my god, Cheri!
06:40How are they not crashing?
06:45Boys!
06:46Boys!
06:46Boys!
06:47Boys!
06:48Boys!
06:50Look!
06:51A little floppy, but we made it!
06:52Don't you lie!
06:54MIT is some of the tire debris.
06:56Yes, you got a little tire in there.
06:58That's good.
06:58When you peel it out.
06:59You better drink it.
06:59You don't want to be exhausted.
07:00Yeah.
07:01Oh, very nice.
07:02Keep up, baby.
07:03That was good.
07:04Keep up.
07:05Thank you so much.
07:06I'll be dreaming about this.
07:08Wow, you better clean those sheets.
07:11Cheri!
07:11Oh, what a delight.
07:12I can't believe that just happened.
07:14I'm going to go drift, baby.
07:16I mean, I am pretty inspired.
07:17I'm right behind you.
07:18You want to come?
07:18Yup.
07:21Let's talk about the vibes in this place.
07:22They're leaning into the theme, the car beds, A+.
07:26Stellar.
07:26They say it's what's on the inside that counts.
07:28No, in this case, it was the outside.
07:31Bang for the buck is definitely banging if you come here to play.
07:35Yeah, it's not cheap, but having this many activities on the property makes it worth it.
07:40My clear favorite moment was go-karting with my friend Cheri.
07:44Yes.
07:45I found my calling.
07:46Like, you're a natural.
07:47You are too.
07:48Time to go.
07:50Bye, Fun and Games house.
07:51See you.
07:53Until next time.
07:54Ooh, sport mode.
07:57I want to do a drift spin so bad right now.
08:01On the road again.
08:02Next stop on our journey through the central US, beautiful Arkansas.
08:07Oh, I feel like we've been in the car forever.
08:10We've been driving for five minutes.
08:12It is beautiful.
08:14Between the endless rivers for rafting and trails for hiking,
08:16I can see why Arkansas is known as the natural state.
08:19And we are fully leaning into the nature because our next rental is a literal cave.
08:26Wait.
08:26Wait.
08:27Okay, hold on.
08:28It says this cave used to be a hideout, a bomb shelter, a bordello, and somehow it's now a luxury
08:34retreat?
08:36I'll believe it when I see it.
08:39It's a cave, to say the least.
08:41Yeah.
08:41It really is.
08:42Look at this.
08:43Oh, my.
08:44That is not green screen, honey.
08:46It's the real deal.
08:53Look at this.
08:54We are going into a real live cave.
08:57We are about to stay the night in a literal cave.
09:02Put that right there.
09:08Oh, no.
09:10Wait.
09:11It's really, really inside a cave.
09:14Bruce?
09:15Bruce Wayne?
09:17You home, honey?
09:18It's just us.
09:19It's just us.
09:20It's just us.
09:21This is a beautiful home.
09:23I don't know what to do first.
09:25Okay.
09:25Let's just look around.
09:30Okay.
09:31Beautiful living room.
09:32Oh, my God.
09:33We get to watch a movie in a cave.
09:36This is where we're going to make eggs in the morning in a cave.
09:39Eggs in a cave.
09:40Your signature dish.
09:41I love this so much because you don't realize what you're into until you...
09:46Get there.
09:47...see it in front of you.
09:48That kind of romantic, like...
09:50It is romantic.
09:50...dungeony vibe.
09:51I guess I might be...
09:54Into...
09:54Cave porn?
10:01If nothing else comes out of this trip but you realizing that, I'm so glad to be a part of
10:06it.
10:07Congrats.
10:08Let's go up the stairs.
10:10Look at this.
10:11I mean...
10:12Stalactites.
10:13I think.
10:18Very sexy.
10:19This is where you do some, you know, light petting.
10:22Petting.
10:22You're kind of like, are we in the mood?
10:24Yeah.
10:24When you look at that bed, the clothes come off.
10:26Right.
10:27Let's go look at the next room.
10:28Okay.
10:28You know what I mean?
10:29Yeah, do a little scoot scoot.
10:30Okay, do a little scoot scoot.
10:31Don't hit the back.
10:32Don't hit the back.
10:32Don't hit the back.
10:33Okay.
10:35Okay.
10:36Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
10:38I am really impressed.
10:41I am blown away.
10:42It's such a, like, functional room.
10:44That's the thing.
10:45Yes.
10:45It's practical, even though it feels so out of this world.
10:48Like, could you live here?
10:50Yeah.
10:50Me too.
10:51Should we?
10:52Could we?
10:53Could we afford it?
10:54Uh-oh, I can't not, I can't not.
10:56You gotta climb it.
10:57I gotta climb it.
10:58That's my girl.
10:59Darcy loves to be a daredevil and get into every sharp nook and mysterious corner.
11:06When I see a crevice, I gotta get in it.
11:08We're going to go into a bathroom that is in a cave.
11:12What?
11:13This is incredible.
11:16I'm into it.
11:17Unbelievable.
11:18Wow.
11:19Okay.
11:23Wow.
11:24Yeah, the waterfall style with the cave.
11:26So gorgeous.
11:27It's water from the mountain and the spring.
11:30Mother nature.
11:31Let's call it a working cave.
11:32A working cave.
11:34Yeah.
11:34What's this door, Sherry?
11:37Oh my god.
11:39Sherry!
11:40Oh my god.
11:41Wait.
11:41I didn't expect this.
11:43We're in the bowels, Sher.
11:44We're in the bowels.
11:50Oh my god.
11:52Sherry!
11:53What?
11:54Look how pure that water is.
11:56I shouldn't let one go in my mouth, right?
11:58Oh!
11:58It dripped on my forehead and I am different from you.
12:01For me, that's enough.
12:03Let's go down.
12:03Okay.
12:14Hey!
12:16This is like my ultimate dream.
12:18This is the best idea we've ever had.
12:21Okay.
12:21Watch your heads.
12:21Stalactites everywhere.
12:23There you go, honey.
12:27This is what this bed was meant for, Sherry.
12:30Watch.
12:30Watch.
12:31This is a trick, okay?
12:32Ready?
12:33One, two, three.
12:37It went exactly where I wanted it to.
12:39Should we just sleep in our charcuterie bed?
12:41I think this is it for us.
12:43Okay.
12:43Okay.
12:44Good night.
12:45Good night.
12:47It's not one of those lights.
12:55Goodbye, cave.
12:57You know, I can't say I won't miss it here.
12:59You know?
13:00Yeah.
13:00Meaning you will miss it?
13:02Yeah.
13:02Yeah.
13:02So, Cher, vibe check.
13:04It's an absolute vibe.
13:05Without a question, a cave.
13:07A cave.
13:08Yet cozy.
13:09Yet cozy.
13:10As far as bang for your buck, this is one of those rentals where this is for a group.
13:15Which is kind of perfect.
13:16You can experience it together and then split the tab.
13:19My favorite memory.
13:21Traversing the depths of this cave.
13:24Yeah.
13:24We're in the bowels of Arkansas right now.
13:27You know what I want to say about this place?
13:29It rocks.
13:32It's a pleasure doing business with you.
13:33This was unforgettable.
13:36Yeah.
13:36Okay.
13:37A stay in a cave deep in the mountains of beautiful Arkansas?
13:41Check.
13:41And somehow we've only scratched the surface.
13:43We're heading two hours south and our next central US rental is taking us even deeper into
13:49Arkansas.
13:50Deeper than a cave?
13:51Hold on.
13:52Does this listing say underground?
13:55How deep underground are we talking?
13:57From the looks of it, if the world ends, this is where you want to be deep.
14:01We're pulling up to Titan Ranch.
14:04Wait, what?
14:05Wait, what?
14:06That's a missile if I'm not mistaken.
14:13Don't be afraid.
14:14Come this way.
14:14Hello.
14:16Welcome to Titan Ranch.
14:17Now I'm seeing a big old missile.
14:20That's my replica missile.
14:22What?
14:22Are we going to go in there?
14:23You're not.
14:24Okay.
14:24I'm going to take you 50 feet underground.
14:27Don't be nervous.
14:28We're full of questions right now and we want to get into what's up or what's down.
14:40This is incredible.
14:42So let's put your luggage on real quick.
14:45Thank you, thank you.
14:46This is a crane that we're going to send your stuff down on it.
14:49Say goodbye.
14:50Goodbye.
14:52Titan Ranch is a former Titan II nuclear missile complex.
14:55It housed the largest nuclear missile the U.S. has ever had.
14:59Over the last 15 years, we've turned this from a Cold War relic to an amazing rental.
15:05This is a social experiment that I think we signed up for.
15:09The missile silo has three different levels, thousands of cubic yards of concrete.
15:14Careful, honey.
15:15I got it.
15:15I got it.
15:15I'm terrified.
15:16No, no, no.
15:16I'm good.
15:16People run this because they love history or they love unique spaces.
15:20Hold on.
15:22Oh my gosh.
15:23So is this where the missile was?
15:26This leads to the missile.
15:28Wee!
15:29We've had people stay underground for four days straight and say it's the best vacation they've
15:33ever had.
15:34Okay.
15:34Here we go.
15:35Whoa.
15:37This is very superhero lair.
15:39So this is level two.
15:41This is where they would launch the missile from.
15:43Oh!
15:44It's a living room.
15:47I could like happily chill here.
15:50They put a lot of love into this box of cement.
15:52100%.
15:53And I love the idea of redefining vacation, right?
15:56Because is it adventure?
15:57Is it rest?
15:58It can be anything.
15:58It can be both.
15:59What else do you want to show us?
16:00We're going to go upstairs.
16:02This is the primary bedroom.
16:04Cool!
16:05Oh, this is gorgeous.
16:08This is the room.
16:10Aw, cute, Sherry.
16:11We're going to get ready here.
16:13Hers and hers.
16:14Hers and hers.
16:16We're going all the way down.
16:18Woo!
16:19This is a fully...
16:20It's like a real house.
16:22You have lots of stuff up here to cook.
16:24Full kitchen, freezer behind me.
16:26You have tables, couches, this big projector.
16:30You kind of forget that you are 50 feet down.
16:33Hi.
16:34All right.
16:34I hope you're fine in the morning.
16:35So, thank you.
16:36Yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:36We'll treat it real good.
16:38We're alone.
16:39Wee!
16:40Finally.
16:40What are we going to do?
16:41I want to see this room again.
16:43I think I'm very fond of level two.
16:45Do you think you'd be mad at me if I did this?
16:47It looks a little dusty.
16:48I'll do that.
16:49There's one piece of popcorn up there.
16:51Well, that's where I left it.
16:54Shoo.
16:55Shoo.
16:57Shoo.
16:57Shoo.
16:58Shoo.
16:58Shoo.
16:58You're in.
16:59Oh, shoot.
17:00I won.
17:01I'm always in.
17:01We didn't go in here yet.
17:03Am I going to get in trouble?
17:05Ah!
17:06What are we looking at?
17:07Oh, what the?
17:08Secret bathroom.
17:10It's magic.
17:11Bye, Sherry.
17:12Gotta go.
17:13Bye.
17:21Should we eat some cheese?
17:23We can eat some cheese.
17:24But you know what I really want to do?
17:29I want to go in the dang escape hatch.
17:32Ah!
17:33Okay, maybe you first.
17:34Okay, I'll go in first.
17:36I'll bring this just in case for self-defense.
17:38So it goes all the way up to ground level.
17:42I'm scared, Sherry.
17:43Okay, you got this.
17:44You're not going to go up the escape thing, are you?
17:47I want to.
17:47No.
17:48Whoa!
17:49No way.
17:51Okay, now I'm curious.
17:52I'm coming in.
17:55I don't know why, but the spatula has really become kind of like a security blanket for me.
18:00Do you want to like...
18:01What was that?
18:02I don't know.
18:02We're leaving.
18:03We're absolutely out of here.
18:05Babe, it's too good.
18:06You got it.
18:06You're lying.
18:07I'm not lying.
18:08You're lying.
18:09I'm not lying.
18:10Okay.
18:11Okay, sit with me.
18:12Hold me, hold me.
18:13No way.
18:19No more adventure.
18:20Are you okay?
18:21Don't watch a movie.
18:22Whee!
18:24Yeah.
18:24I love this spaceship.
18:26Good night.
18:27Good night.
18:27See you in the morning.
18:29Okay, maybe we should brush our teeth.
18:30Okay.
18:30Yeah.
18:37So what did you think of the vibe?
18:40It's certainly creative.
18:41If you want to be able to lock a 7,000-pound door behind you and not let any of
18:47your loved ones out, this is your spot.
18:49As far as bang for your buck, I mean, for a reasonable price, if you want adventure, if you want
18:55history...
18:57If you just want to do something different, I don't think you'll regret experiencing it.
19:01Totally.
19:02And as far as favorite memories, I really liked how crawling in the tunnels started and then things got a
19:07little scary.
19:08But if my life is not on the line, am I on vacation?
19:11Am I even living?
19:12I'm so glad we didn't die.
19:14Yeah.
19:14Yeah.
19:16The central U.S. definitely brought the wild.
19:20Agreed.
19:21Every place we stayed was a blast, so it's going to be tough choosing the must-stay of the region.
19:25Yeah, totally.
19:27Because these three rentals were built for very different people.
19:30Let's break it down.
19:32First up, Little Talladega in Pomona, Missouri, which felt like the best summer camp ever.
19:38With horsepower.
19:41If you're coming with a big group, a family, friends, chaos agents, this house delivers.
19:47Wow!
19:49But would you call it cozy?
19:51Ah, good point.
19:53Oh, you know who had the cozy box checked?
19:55The Beckham Cave in Parthenon, Arkansas.
19:57Somehow the owner made being surrounded by old rocks feel luxurious and romantic.
20:03I think we can thank the charcuterie bit for that.
20:05I think this is it for us.
20:07Okay.
20:07We also had the Titan Ranch in Valonia, Arkansas for the person who wants luxury and adventure.
20:14It was pretty wild having hotel amenities in an underground missile silo.
20:18But what we need to ask ourselves, does it make you say, I must stay there again?
20:24If you put it that way, okay, I wouldn't mind drift racing into the wee hours of the night again.
20:29And I'd be into another round of flashlight tag in a superhero lair.
20:34Oh, but what about another round of R&R?
20:36Would that spread in that bed?
20:39Okay, final decision.
20:41One, two, Beckham Cave!
20:46Romance, nature, snacks.
20:49This one's the must stay for sure.
20:52Let's leave our review.
20:53This place is cozy and so unique.
20:56Fairytale vibes in nature with room for the whole gang.
21:00Also, four words, charcuterie in a cave.
21:04How do you spell charcuterie?
21:05S-A-W.
21:10Sarcuterie.
21:10Oh, yeah.
21:11Okay.
21:12Great.
21:13Yeah.
21:14That was fun.
21:15I love going on vacation with you.
21:16No, same.
21:17Wanna do it again?
21:17I can't wait to do it again.
21:19We're about to become a boat.
21:21No way.
21:21Wait, Sherry.
21:22Wait.
21:22What are we doing?
21:24Ugh.
21:25I'm not dreaming.
21:26Do you know how to bird?
21:27No, I haven't birded.
21:30Obsessed.
21:30Hoo, hoo, hoo.
21:32Hee, hoo, hoo.
21:33Hee, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo.
