00:00Over 60 million Americans stay in vacation rentals every year.
00:03Yeah, but why stay in one of these?
00:09When you can stay in one of these.
00:14That's why we're going on the road to find the coolest and most unique homes away from home.
00:19Wow. Hey. That is what I'm talking about.
00:23And guess what? These are all places you can stay to.
00:27Whoo. Oh.
00:29Sherry and I have known each other forever,
00:31and yet somehow we've never gone on a trip together.
00:33Until now.
00:34Whee!
00:36And we're taking you along for the ride.
00:38Ready to hit the road, girlie?
00:40Let's go!
00:41From over-the-top luxury escapes...
00:46to thrilling action-packed stays you never knew existed.
00:49Hi!
00:51I like to get my hands dirty. I like to get a little rowdy.
00:53But I'm baby wiping Wi-Fi.
00:55That's right. You know?
00:56Yay!
00:56I'm all the way up.
00:57I could sleep up here.
00:58I mean, same, but I won't be alive in the morning.
01:00We love you. We love you.
01:01She liked it all.
01:02Okay, okay, okay.
01:02She liked it all!
01:04Can we get wet naps?
01:05We're exploring every corner of the map, baby.
01:08We're testing the vibes.
01:09And figuring out where you could get the most bang for your buck.
01:13Oh my goodness. You went for it.
01:15And which ones deliver memories that make you say,
01:17hey, remember that time?
01:19Mm.
01:19This is the best day of my life!
01:22Each week, we're going to stay at three different rentals,
01:25and we'll choose our ultimate must-stay.
01:28I love going on vacation with you.
01:29So, America, let's get wild!
01:37Ah, Oklahoma, where college sports are king,
01:40and cities like Tulsa are becoming hot spots for music and culture.
01:43But on this little vacay, we're checking out three rentals in the Broken Bow area.
01:49Can we stop to pee real quick?
01:51No. Okay.
01:52It's got fishing, boating, it's OK's go-to outdoor getaway.
01:57It also has hundreds of luxury stays.
02:01Which is why we're here, to separate the good from the great.
02:05And first up, a classic log cabin that said, sure, but make it huge.
02:10And add two slides, a bowling alley, and a potential Bigfoot siding?
02:16This is a little bit of a curvy road we're on.
02:18I'm going at a very slow pace here.
02:21Like, I can't explain the angle that we're at right now.
02:23It's very rollercoaster house steep.
02:25Aunt Sheri, look at this house. Oh my lordy.
02:29This is beautiful!
02:31What a log cabin.
02:33Look at the Yeti.
02:34On steroids.
02:34Or Sasquatch.
02:35I am into it.
02:39Wow!
02:41Oklahoma's sweet home.
02:42I can't wait to see it.
02:44I'm David.
02:45And I'm Sarah.
02:46And we're the owners of the Penthouse Lodge here in Oklahoma.
02:49The Penthouse Lodge sleeps 50 guests, and the whole cabin is an experience.
02:53Construction began in 2023, and it was quite a challenge because we're perched up on the top of the mountain.
03:01But we had a vision.
03:03We wanted luxury at its finest with crazy adventure.
03:09We've had many guests say that they planned activities, and they never even left the cabin.
03:14There was so much to do here.
03:15I lay awake dreaming of what craziness we can come up with next.
03:20Okay.
03:22Wow.
03:24Oh my gosh.
03:26Uh-huh.
03:28Forget about it.
03:32Oh, hubba hubba.
03:33I love this fireplace.
03:35It's really cozy.
03:37Sherry.
03:38Oh.
03:40That's something to look forward to.
03:42I mean, we love to spiral.
03:43We do.
03:44Look at this kitchen.
03:46Oh my gosh.
03:48Wow.
03:49It's kind of just fantastic.
03:51The owners of this house have thought, I don't want them to have to go to the grocery store.
03:54I don't want them to have to order in.
03:56We've got it for you.
03:57I love that.
03:58Yes, chef.
03:59Do you want to go play some games?
04:00Yes.
04:01Whee!
04:02This is just so well done.
04:04I know.
04:05It's polished, yet rustic.
04:07Yeah.
04:07Come on.
04:08Oh my gosh.
04:11So this is where the spiral slide shoots out.
04:14Right.
04:15Bowling.
04:16A poker table.
04:17A pool table.
04:18So many favorite things.
04:22Shoes!
04:23This is the most impressive rack I've ever seen.
04:25Nice.
04:26Cheers.
04:26Cheers.
04:26Okay, so I guess we could just go.
04:28Yeah.
04:28I'm not competitive, but you're going down.
04:30Let's bowl.
04:33Put a little, uh.
04:35Okay, and when you say going down, do you mean that you're going down into the gutter?
04:40Yeah.
04:40Okay.
04:42Oh good.
04:42But I kind of slammed it.
04:46Oh.
04:48Ready?
04:49One, two, three.
04:54Hey!
04:55Oh!
04:56This house is begging you to have fun.
04:58Oh, it's on its knees.
05:02I'd love to slide.
05:03I wish there was a slide to take us up, you know what I'm saying?
05:06I get that.
05:07Okay, here is the slide.
05:09Oh my.
05:10I kind of can't believe how high this is, Sherry.
05:12I actually don't want to think about it.
05:14I know.
05:14You want to go first?
05:15Sure.
05:15It's a little freaky deaky.
05:17Yeah, I'm nervous.
05:19Uh-uh.
05:20Oh, it's fun.
05:21Oh, it's fun.
05:21Sherry, it's fun.
05:25It's really fun.
05:27So this is the kind of stuff I usually get peer pressured into.
05:31Sherry, it's really fun.
05:32Oh, that is, oh, okay, okay, it's fun.
05:37Okay, fine, it's fun.
05:38Okay, it's fun.
05:39Oh.
05:40F-U-N.
05:42Fine.
05:43I need a lot.
05:44Oh, it's a lot.
05:46Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
05:49Oh my god.
05:50All right.
05:50Wow.
05:51Oh, no.
05:52I've become more adventurous because of you.
05:56Oh, this is so fun.
05:57Mine is pumping.
05:58Mine too.
05:58And there's still so much more to see.
06:00Yep.
06:00Let's go.
06:02Oh my god.
06:02Okay, another slide.
06:03Okay, another slide.
06:04And look at this great lounge area.
06:07We like it.
06:08Sherry, look at this ginormous hot tub.
06:11This is one of the biggest hot tubs I've ever seen.
06:13I think so.
06:14Let's go check out the rest of this place.
06:16It's so big.
06:1810,000 square feet.
06:19Eight rooms, eight bathrooms.
06:21Just enough.
06:22Knock on wood for good luck, baby.
06:24This is the primary bedroom.
06:26Look at this grand bed.
06:27This is very...
06:29The leather.
06:30I love this fireplace.
06:31Oh.
06:32Oh.
06:35Bathtub.
06:35I mean, amazing view from the bathtub, of course.
06:37Let's see what it's like.
06:39Oh, wow.
06:39This window is incredible.
06:41Wow.
06:43The view from the bathtub.
06:46I mean, I'll never get out of the water.
06:48Yeah.
06:49All of these bedrooms.
06:50There are so many bedrooms.
06:51Oh, come on.
06:52Ooh.
06:53Ah.
06:54I would like to stay here for eight nights
06:55because I'd like to sleep in every one of those dang bedrooms.
06:58All eight bedrooms are on the second floor,
07:00and there is seriously not a bad room in the house.
07:03Pin house, Lodge.
07:05We love you.
07:06I do too.
07:12Darcy?
07:14Darcy?
07:16Cher?
07:18Sherry?
07:22Sherry?
07:28Oh, what?
07:29Sherry, what?
07:35Oh, brother.
07:37Oh, you know what?
07:38How about we go to sleep?
07:39Okay.
07:40Same thing tomorrow.
07:41Okay, great.
07:42Love you.
07:42Love you.
07:50The pin house, Lodge.
07:51I don't want to leave, and I mean it.
07:53The vibes are Emac.
07:55You lit.
07:55It was really well designed.
07:57We loved that each room was different, but very cohesive.
08:00Yeah.
08:00I'd say the pin house, Lodge is worth it.
08:03I do too.
08:04Okay, it's a bit on the pricier side,
08:06but divvy up that cost between you and 50 of your closest friends,
08:09and you will have the vacation of a lifetime.
08:12When I think about our time at the Pin house Lodge,
08:14I keep thinking about that dang slide.
08:16The slide.
08:17The slide.
08:17Going down the slide together?
08:18Are you kidding me?
08:19I would live here for 30 years.
08:23Broken Bow, Oklahoma, starting out strong.
08:27And guess what, Cher?
08:28The next rental is just down the street,
08:30and run by the same dang owners.
08:32It's a smaller, more affordable option,
08:34perfect for nature lovers,
08:36and still chock full of fun surprises.
08:38Oh, did I mention it's a freaking tree house?
08:42You don't say.
08:43I did say.
08:44Wait, what?
08:44Is that a suspension bridge?
08:47Beautiful, beautiful day.
08:48Beautiful day, and look at this beautiful house.
08:51Tree-topia.
08:52Oh, my gosh.
08:54We meet for the first time.
08:55What fun.
08:57I like how we just hopped on the suspension bridge so casually.
09:00Should we do a little bounce?
09:01Oh, my God.
09:01Whee!
09:02Here we go, here we go.
09:03Does that get scary at all?
09:04No, I guess not.
09:05It feels really supportive.
09:05This is really cool.
09:07I see a spiral slide.
09:10Okay, I'm loving that.
09:11This is our love language now.
09:13It's so cute, isn't it?
09:16Oh!
09:17Oh!
09:17Cherie, look down!
09:19Wow!
09:20How dare they?
09:24Wow!
09:26Wait, I'm freaking freaked.
09:28What's stopping me from shattering this?
09:30I don't know.
09:31Tree-topia treehouse is magical.
09:36It is a three-story treehouse connected with swinging bridges.
09:42It's really about the experience.
09:44We kind of blended my love of books and fairy tales with his love of exhilarating adventure.
09:50It's just a marriage made in treehouse heaven.
09:53What I'm intrigued by is the swings.
09:57Oh, you think?
09:58I've never seen those before.
09:59Not in my kitchen.
10:00You're inside a tree.
10:02Wood everywhere.
10:03Wood everywhere.
10:03Where are we?
10:04Chippendales?
10:07So there's another one of these little, what do you want to call these?
10:10Glass floor.
10:11Yes.
10:12It's so scary.
10:13You are not scared at all.
10:15I cannot believe it.
10:15You are not scared at all.
10:17No, no one is more shocked than I am.
10:19Let's see what's going on upstairs.
10:20Yes.
10:21Very narrow.
10:22But quite, like, enchanting.
10:24Oh, yeah.
10:24Very, like, whimsical.
10:26Whimsical is the word.
10:29Whimsical.
10:30Like, if there was a fairy inside this tree trunk, I wouldn't be surprised.
10:35I think we're going to see a fairy.
10:36Is the fairy in here?
10:38It might be.
10:39Oh, cute.
10:39I really like this.
10:41Yeah.
10:41Beams in the roof are like raw wood.
10:44This is a great room.
10:45Let's check out the bathroom.
10:46Oh, it's really cute.
10:48All these different natural materials, wood, stone.
10:52Mm-hmm.
10:52Oh, there's a rain shower from so high.
10:55And what is that, 10 feet or 100 feet?
10:56Oh, you're going to get wet.
10:57I don't think I will.
11:00Oh.
11:03Amazing shower.
11:03Yeah.
11:04Oh, my gosh, there's even another floor to go up.
11:07Amazing.
11:08Wow.
11:09Freaked by the net.
11:10Yeah.
11:11I'm scared.
11:11I mean, I guess I'll just go for it.
11:13Yeah.
11:14Oh, interesting.
11:16Okay, once you're in, you feel good?
11:18Once you're in, you kind of trust.
11:20This is not for me.
11:21This is not for me.
11:24Okay, okay.
11:24You come back.
11:25Okay, I come back now.
11:26Maybe you sucked all my bravery out of me.
11:29Because I was a visual that you wish you could see.
11:33Let's check out outside.
11:34Yeah, I want to go outside.
11:35All right, so.
11:37Okay, here we go.
11:38Here's where we're going to have dinner.
11:39Uh-huh.
11:40There's a little projector.
11:41Oh.
11:41And the projector is going to project onto this movie screen.
11:45Everything is so well designed, inside and outside.
11:49Oh, my lord.
11:51This is a great hot tub.
11:53Yeah.
11:53Like, we're going to have so much fun in here tonight.
11:56Whee!
11:57You know what, Cher?
11:58I think I'm ready to get into something a little more comfortable.
12:01Jammies time.
12:02Plus, we still need to figure out which room we're going to be sleeping in.
12:04We're sleeping in the same room, right?
12:06Of course, but let's see more of the house before we decide.
12:09Okay.
12:10I got something to show you.
12:11Show me.
12:12Is this a closet?
12:15No.
12:16I know.
12:17No.
12:17I know.
12:18Yay!
12:19Oh, my gosh.
12:20We're just suspended in the air.
12:22I could get some work done.
12:23You know what I'm saying?
12:23Yeah.
12:24You could be on a Zoom meeting.
12:26Hey.
12:26Okay.
12:27Don't look down.
12:28And the thing is, you know, exhibitionism runs in your family.
12:32Exactly.
12:33And there's no cure.
12:35Let's check out this bed.
12:36Show me more.
12:37What do you mean, bed?
12:38Is it soft?
12:39Up on up.
12:43Whoa!
12:44That's the outside.
12:46No glass?
12:47No glass.
12:48And check this out.
12:54Actually.
12:55Oh!
12:57Okay.
12:58That was insane.
12:59We're talking about exhibitionism.
13:01Yeah.
13:01Oh, yeah.
13:03I guess I'll just stay here until I get pushed in.
13:06Oh, my God.
13:07It's really fast.
13:08It's really fast.
13:10So, what are we doing first?
13:11Hot tub?
13:12Sauna?
13:13Movie?
13:14All of it.
13:15Okay.
13:15Whee!
13:25Good morning.
13:26Good morning.
13:27Good morning.
13:29The Tree-topia.
13:30Tree-topia, baby.
13:32We love you, Tree-topia.
13:33The Tree-topia vibes.
13:35What can I say about it except brilliant?
13:37Truly, it is so fun and fantastical.
13:40There's no lack of whimsy here.
13:42Yeah.
13:43It's definitely worth a visit.
13:44This place really delivers on value.
13:46It's not just a place to stay.
13:48It's an experience that you won't find anywhere else.
13:51One of my favorite memories is being in that bed.
13:56You leave this place feeling kind of like,
13:58oh, I did that.
13:58I did that.
13:59Yeah.
14:00Tree-topia.
14:01It was good to nope-ia.
14:04For our last day, we're headed just down the road
14:08to another Broken Bow abode.
14:11Do you want to stop for food soon?
14:13Yes.
14:14Chicken tenders?
14:15You know it.
14:17Oh, my lord, Cher.
14:20This next place is called The Goblet,
14:22and it looks very medieval and very out of place for this town.
14:25But come on.
14:25It's like a dating app.
14:27You can't fully trust the photos until you see it in person.
14:31Very woodsy, and we're approaching a huge castle.
14:36Oh, my goodness gracious.
14:40A castle?
14:41It's a bucculous moment, for sure, because, you know,
14:44I've always identified as a little princess.
14:46You really have.
14:46You know what I mean?
14:47Yeah.
14:54So immediately, I love textures.
14:56I do, too.
14:56We got the stones, the black wood, the little pointy peaks.
15:00And how often do you see a castle in the wild?
15:02Almost never, Cheri.
15:04Yeah.
15:04Should we go in?
15:05Let's do it.
15:05What on earth?
15:08We are in a castle, Cheri.
15:09I mean, this is like medieval times or something.
15:12It's...
15:12I mean, bravo.
15:14Bravo.
15:15Look at the size of this courtyard.
15:18I can't wait to see what's behind this door.
15:21I know.
15:21It's almost a little scary.
15:23Oh, it's beautiful.
15:28A spiral staircase.
15:30This is my favorite shape of staircase.
15:32It's one of the best.
15:33We are in...
15:34Oh!
15:36This grand hall.
15:37The grandest hall.
15:38This is a place for a huge party.
15:41A great place for a wedding.
15:43If, like, I now pronounce you dungeon and dragon,
15:46then this is where you shall wed.
15:48Yeah.
15:48If this was a great hall back in medieval times,
15:51I would be like a drunk king that needed to make a speech to, like, my peasants.
15:54Oh, for sure.
15:55Do you want to check out the kitchen?
15:56Yeah.
15:57Oh, wow.
16:00This is like a restaurant kitchen.
16:02Totally.
16:03Without question, this is a house to rent with a huge room.
16:07Yeah.
16:07Big kitchen.
16:08Big kitchen.
16:08Big eating space.
16:09Yeah.
16:10I want to see what's out here.
16:11Okay.
16:11Here we go.
16:13And another little outdoor dining area for 16 of your friends.
16:20Let's walk the towers, shall we?
16:24Everything's pretty spread out.
16:26Very much like an outdoor indoor experience.
16:28Yes.
16:29Should we go into this little tiny door?
16:30Wow.
16:31Okay.
16:32Oh, oh, oh.
16:33A lot of steps and little platelets here.
16:36I know you like levels.
16:37Wow, I want to jump onto the bed so bad.
16:39Do it, do it, do it.
16:40Okay.
16:41One, two, three.
16:44Whee!
16:46Oh, whoa.
16:51Whoa!
16:52Oh, another level down to the bathroom.
16:57I do like this.
16:58Yeah.
16:58One of us could be bathing and the other one could be showering and then we could still look
17:01at each other.
17:02And then check in with each other.
17:03Yeah.
17:04Snake!
17:05It's a snake.
17:06I see.
17:06It's a snake and its little mouth is open and the water comes out of its little mouth.
17:18Let's move out.
17:20Goodbye bathroom with a bed in it.
17:22We're back in the courtyard, baby.
17:24I kind of like the maze aspect.
17:26I know.
17:26Walking from tower to tower, um, what's really cool.
17:30Because there are so many rooms, it was fun to just open a random door and see what was inside.
17:34Yeah.
17:35Oh.
17:37Screening room with real movie theater seats.
17:40I think we should come back here and watch a movie maybe from those two seats.
17:43Definitely.
17:43Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:44Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:44No, this is nice.
17:46I don't know what movie.
17:46Maybe like, maybe there's one about like children wizards or I don't know.
17:51We'll figure it out.
17:51We'll, we'll search.
17:56Oh, oh, oh, oh, game room.
18:01Oh, this looks comfortable as well.
18:03Yeah.
18:04It's cozy.
18:04It's castly.
18:05It's game room.
18:06Not only can you watch movies, play pool, do shuffleboard, you have your own full kitchen.
18:11Oh, that.
18:12A full kitchen.
18:13As much as I would like to utilize this and cook up a gigantic meal, I'm thinking maybe we order
18:18in.
18:19It would be so funny to just be two people eating in a big, gigantic, tiny room.
18:24Oh, we should totally do that.
18:28Hmm, it's good.
18:31What?
18:32Did you say something?
18:33Oh, um, I said it's pretty good.
18:37Oh.
18:38Do you have a napkin?
18:38Oh, yeah, I got you.
18:47Oh, yes.
18:55Really good.
18:56Perfect.
19:07Oh, Cher, we feasted like royalty tonight.
19:11Being a king is exhausting.
19:14Wake me up when it's time to rule again.
19:21We did it.
19:22I mean, definitely bucket list.
19:24I've never stayed in a castle before.
19:26I gotta say, the goblet really is an enchanting experience.
19:29It is.
19:29The vibes are definitely medieval times.
19:32Yeah.
19:33It's made of stone.
19:34It has the towers.
19:35They really, like, committed to this theme.
19:38It's worth it if you want to bring your extended family.
19:42Yes, yes, it's so big.
19:43As far as best memory, eating ribs in the great hall.
19:48A very royal memory indeed, fair lady.
19:52You know, just quality time is my favorite moment.
19:55We castled.
19:59Oklahoma.
20:01Broken Bow felt like a gold mine.
20:03Three incredible rentals, and each one a gem in its own way.
20:07This was an amazing experience here in Oklahoma.
20:10These three locations were really fantastic.
20:12Yeah.
20:13How are we supposed to pick a must day?
20:15Very, very, very tough.
20:17Yeah.
20:18To choose.
20:19This is the hardest one yet for me.
20:21If we're talking about things that get our blood pumping.
20:26Yeah.
20:26Are we knocking down some pins and sliding the night away surrounded by nature?
20:31Or sleeping under the stars in a literal tree house?
20:35Or channeling our inner royalty in an actual real-life castle.
20:39Okay, ready?
20:40All right.
20:40One, two, three.
20:42Pinhouse Lodge.
20:44Oh, I knew it.
20:4550 freaking people could sleep there.
20:47The options are endless.
20:49Bowling.
20:50Pool table.
20:50We had so much fun.
20:52Two slides, okay?
20:53You got it all.
20:55Okay, let's write a review.
20:56Okay, great.
20:56For Pinhouse Lodge, baby.
20:59Pinhouse Lodge had the fun and the games.
21:02Yes.
21:03Space for the whole family.
21:05Mm-hmm.
21:05You'll have a hoot guaranteed.
21:07Yes.
21:08And I promise that this is a home you could write home about.
21:13Okay, I like that.
21:14I like that, yeah.
21:15Send.
21:19Oh, yeah.
21:20This feels like a resort that will all for you.
21:23You know what I love?
21:24Being in the desert.
21:26Swimsuit optional area.
21:29There are animals everywhere here.
21:31Oh, my God.
21:31Oh, my God.
21:32Oh, my God.
21:33Oh, my God.
21:34Oh, my God.
