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.
00:20Hey.
00:21That is what I'm talking about.
00:23And guess what?
00:24These are all places you can stay to.
00:27Whoa.
00:28Oh.
00:29Sherry and I have known each other forever, and 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!
00:42From over-the-top luxury escapes to thrilling action-packed stays you never knew existed.
00:49Hi!
00:51I like to get my hands dirty.
00:52I like to get a little rowdy.
00:53But I'm baby wiping Wi-Fi.
00:55That's right.
00:55You know?
00:56Yay!
00:56I'm all the way up.
00:57I can sleep up here.
00:58I mean, same, but I won't be alive in the morning.
01:00We love you.
01:01We love you.
01:01We love you.
01:01She liked it all.
01:02Okay, okay, 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, hey, remember that time?
01:19This is the best day of my life!
01:22Each week we're going to stay at three different rentals, and we'll choose our ultimate must-stay.
01:28I love going on vacation with you.
01:29So, America, let's get wild!
01:37Buckle up, bestie.
01:38This week, we are heading out west.
01:41Say less.
01:42Open roads, national parks, and beaches for days.
01:45Love it!
01:46Our first stop is in Temecula, California, which is in SoCal's wine country.
01:52So, think wine tastings and perfect weather.
01:55Ooh, fancy!
01:57But also saloons and outlaws, because this property adds a little Wild West flavor.
02:02Oh, wow, yeah, look, luxe lodging in a fully functioning western old town.
02:08Southern California.
02:12Gorgeous Temecula.
02:13I'm loving the cacti.
02:15This is very cute.
02:17Oh, Sherry, I can already tell this is going to be good.
02:19My name is Cesar.
02:20I'm the owner of Old West Temecula.
02:23Old West Temecula is a luxury vacation rental with an Old West theme.
02:27So, on this property of five acres, there are three buildings.
02:30There's two guest homes and the western town, and it can sleep up to 16 guests.
02:35Our focus was to give you comfort while you experience the west.
02:39Guests love that we put so much attention into the detail,
02:42where you can not just see it, but interact with it.
02:45You could barge into the saloon, sit down and play cards while the piano's playing.
02:49You could rob the bank.
02:50Just have a great time.
02:51Guests love the memories that they make here.
02:54This is really cute.
02:55We don't have to knock.
02:56We don't have to knock.
02:57We rented the place.
02:58Okay.
02:59Ooh.
03:02I see some horns, some saddles, some ropes.
03:06I'm putting one on right now.
03:07Do you want to pick one out for me, or should I just go with this?
03:09I will live vicariously through you.
03:10Okay.
03:11Ugh, that's really cute.
03:12I know.
03:15Honey.
03:15Take your pick.
03:16It was like a buffet.
03:18Yeah, a hot buffet.
03:18It looks so good.
03:20Wow.
03:21Okay.
03:22Well, you know we love an open kitchen.
03:24Yes.
03:27Entertaining.
03:28This seems like a really stocked kitchen.
03:29A hundred percent.
03:30Whoa.
03:31I've never seen more of these.
03:35I've never seen more boots at our cups.
03:39This is an even half.
03:42Do you want to see the next thing?
03:44Ooh.
03:47We love, we love, we love.
03:49Details, details, details.
03:51I am obsessed with a bed and bench.
03:55Well, this is the cow room, okay?
03:57Okay.
03:58Move.
03:58To say the least, move.
04:00Everything here is decorated completely on theme.
04:02Yes.
04:02Cows everywhere, horseshoes everywhere.
04:05Boom, boom, boom.
04:06This town ain't big enough for the both of us.
04:10Right out the door.
04:12Oh, gorgeous.
04:16It's giving relaxation in a setting you wouldn't expect it.
04:20Barbecue over here, good for entertaining.
04:23Right.
04:25We have five acres of property here,
04:27so let's go do some exploring, shall we?
04:29Yeah.
04:29Yeah.
04:35We are in the old west town.
04:37They have the classics, jail.
04:39Jail.
04:39Bank.
04:40Bank.
04:41Saloon.
04:42Saloon.
04:42Everything you could ever want in an old west town.
04:45Should we check out the saloon?
04:46Let's do it, baby.
04:47Right this way.
04:49Yeah.
04:49Oh, my gosh.
04:54No way.
04:55This is the real deal.
04:57Something about a saloon, you know, you're just...
05:00Wow.
05:04I can't believe it's this done up.
05:07Oh.
05:08Does this sound saloon-y?
05:10It's still saloon-y.
05:12Put different piano music over that.
05:14Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:16Sherry, I am blown away by this place.
05:19It's just so authentic.
05:20It really feels like a time capsule.
05:23It feels like perfectly preserved.
05:25There's even another little room over here.
05:28A little bedroom.
05:30A little bedroom.
05:31A bedroom.
05:31A little bedroom.
05:31This looks almost like a bank.
05:33Yes.
05:34That is so cool.
05:38Cashola.
05:40Take my money.
05:41Ah.
05:42I will say that's a typo.
05:44Well, maybe they spelled a different back then.
05:45Oh, I before E except after C.
05:47C.
05:48Let's go this way.
05:50Oh, oh, it's dark.
05:52Oh, interesting.
05:53Oh, wait.
05:53I have to see what this sounds like.
05:55Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:56Do the...
06:01It's so real.
06:03Yes.
06:03Like terrifyingly.
06:05I don't want to be in here.
06:06Yeah, yeah.
06:06You know what I mean?
06:07Let's get out of here.
06:08Creepy.
06:09This is a really fun place to feel like a kid again.
06:11Yes.
06:11Or to feel like Clint Eastwood.
06:13Yes.
06:13No in between.
06:17Have you ever panned for gold before?
06:19Not in this century.
06:21Can I tell you something?
06:22Mm.
06:23I have.
06:23Oh.
06:24Okay.
06:24We got a couple pans.
06:26So you take a nice big scoop of sand.
06:27Okay.
06:28Oh, yeah.
06:29That's the good stuff?
06:30Yeah.
06:31All right.
06:32Okay, now let's take it over to the water.
06:33Okay.
06:34So are there still golds undiscovered?
06:37I'm going to say yes.
06:38Wow.
06:39They didn't find every last crumb.
06:40Right, right, right.
06:41Oh, it's all in the wrist.
06:43It's all in the wrist.
06:44Oh, I found one.
06:45Aha!
06:49Oh my gosh, I just found three pieces.
06:50Oh my God.
06:51Yay!
06:53We're eating tonight.
07:02You betting two green?
07:03Yeah, I'm betting two green.
07:04Okay.
07:05Don't you feel like we're really in the wild, wild west?
07:07I feel like we're immersed into this era.
07:11If we have the opportunity to sleep in a bank, we're sleeping in a bank.
07:13Honey, we love money.
07:15Look at us.
07:15Exactly.
07:15Okay, we can't get enough of it.
07:17Exactly.
07:18Do you actually know how to play poker?
07:20No.
07:21Me neither.
07:21Cheers.
07:23Yee-haw, my sister.
07:24Yee-haw to you too.
07:33Sleeping in a bank has its perks.
07:35It does.
07:37Jackpot.
07:37Jackpot.
07:38Okay, let's break it down.
07:39The vibes at Old West Temecula.
07:42Authentic.
07:42So much so that we even questioned, where are we?
07:45They nailed the vibes.
07:46And I have to say, I would like a real life horse.
07:48It actually needs a horse.
07:50That's the one thing I'm missing.
07:51As far as being for your buck.
07:53I definitely think it's worth it.
07:54Yes.
07:54Why stay at just any little house?
07:58Come here.
07:59You got everything you need.
08:00There's a jacuzzi and a saloon and a lifetime of memories.
08:04As far as best memory.
08:05I loved being in the saloon.
08:07I did too.
08:08You know, pushing those doors open.
08:10They hit me.
08:11That's right.
08:11Come on now.
08:16The hat is part of the rental fee, right?
08:18100%.
08:18Okay, great.
08:19Okay, crank the heat for our next stop on this western adventure.
08:24We're road tripping 900 miles north to Boise, Idaho.
08:28Yes.
08:28The state's riverfront capital known for outdoor adventures, craft cocktails,
08:32a booming food scene, and of course, potatoes.
08:37We're going to the potato hotel.
08:38We are going to see a giant potato and sleep in it.
08:43The potato hotel.
08:44A 28-foot long potato sitting smack dab in the middle of 400 acres of farmland.
08:50And it says we have our own furry friend named Dolly.
08:54What's that all about?
08:55There she is.
08:55And I'm seeing it all.
08:56I'm seeing it all.
08:56I'm seeing it all.
08:57I need you to see what we're seeing.
08:58Dolly, she's a big cow.
08:59It's just, you know, a sight to see.
09:04Here we are.
09:05Here we are.
09:06Oh, it's a windy day.
09:08Hi, Dolly.
09:09Can we just talk about her beautiful fur?
09:11I want her hair color.
09:12I kind of want her bangs.
09:13You see them?
09:13Yeah.
09:15Okay, Dolly, we'll see you on the other side.
09:17Yeah.
09:17Let's see this damn potato share.
09:19One, two, potato.
09:23Oh, gosh.
09:34Would never have expected it in a trillion years to look like this.
09:40Never, never, never.
09:43Hello, I'm Steve.
09:45I'm the tater prepper here at the Big Idaho Potato Hotel.
09:51This potato was on the semi truck that traveled the United States for the Idaho Potato Commission.
09:57When they retired the potato, they gave it to Christie, who has turned it into a B&B.
10:03People that rent this place really love the wide open space that we have.
10:08They're just amazed that wherever you look, we've got mountains on two different sides out here.
10:13And the guests just love Dolly. She's the resident cow here at the Potato.
10:19She's spoiled rotten. Boy, I tell you, she acts like a puppy dog.
10:25I kind of thought it was going to look like a dirty old potato.
10:28Yeah, a D.O.P.
10:30But it's so clean and well done and beautiful.
10:33I definitely expected brown. A lot of brown.
10:36Not to gender a potato, but it was girly.
10:39Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:39It was girly.
10:40Totally the pink chairs.
10:41Yeah.
10:42All right, throw me on the bed.
10:46Oh, okay.
10:47Oh, great bed.
10:48Okay.
10:48Oh, it's not giving mash. It's giving baked.
10:51Mm-hmm.
10:51One thing I'll say right off the bat, I don't see one single window.
10:54I don't necessarily feel that claustrophobic because the walls are white.
11:00It kind of opens it up.
11:01It does, for sure.
11:02One thing I've also noticed, where are we going to pee pee?
11:06Oh, yes.
11:07Well, let's see where this restroom is.
11:08Okay, let's check out this silo. I have high hopes.
11:12All right.
11:12Oh.
11:13Oh.
11:14Oh.
11:14Whoa.
11:15Wow.
11:17It's so cute.
11:18Spa-like feel.
11:20The sink is right behind the toilet.
11:22I've never seen it. Do a hair wash while peeing.
11:24Oh, like at the salon.
11:26Yes.
11:27Yeah, that's nice.
11:28I love the tub.
11:29You want to see if we can both fit in it?
11:30I thought you'd never ask.
11:31One, two, three.
11:33Whoa.
11:34Oh.
11:36Immediately appreciating the fireplace.
11:37So cute.
11:38Cozy.
11:38Very.
11:39Yeah.
11:40I wonder how Dolly's doing.
11:42Dolly!
11:42Oh, Dolly!
11:44Dolly!
11:44Look at those gorgeous cow eyes.
11:47Are you hungry?
11:49Place hand under dispenser pull handle.
11:51You ready for this, you little cow?
11:53Hi, Bubba.
11:55Hi, Bubba.
11:55Hi, Dolly.
11:56Oh, you smell so much cow.
11:58Oh!
11:58Oh, I got you, girl!
11:59Oh!
12:00Oh, cow tongue!
12:01Oh!
12:02Oh, God.
12:03Oh, I got to roll my sleeve.
12:04So much slobber.
12:05That was a lot of slobber, babes.
12:06Yeah.
12:07Hey, Dolly.
12:08Grab my sleeve.
12:09Oh, my Dolly's saliva!
12:12Here you go!
12:16Do you like an ear scratch like a dog?
12:18No!
12:18I don't really know what you want.
12:20I don't know what you should want.
12:20Oh!
12:21We got it.
12:22Can we get it, wet naps?
12:29We ordered an assortment of fries.
12:31We have some poutine.
12:32When in Rome.
12:33When in Boise, make some noisy.
12:36And here's the thing.
12:37No kitchen here.
12:38Right.
12:38Not a problem because I do love delivery.
12:41If you were doing like a national parks tour,
12:43it might be a fun little place to stop over for the night,
12:45spend the little morning there.
12:47That's so true.
12:48See a potato.
12:49Oh, I forgot where my mouth was.
12:52I think we filled up on fries just in time to go to bed.
12:56I want to become a potato while I sleep in a potato.
12:59I'm right behind you.
13:00If I need you, I'll just say potato, okay?
13:02Just, just, yeah.
13:02That's our safe word.
13:03Potato.
13:07Okay.
13:08Off we go.
13:09We did it, Sherry.
13:10We slept in a potato.
13:11Yeah.
13:12And that's always been, you know, a family dream.
13:15So the vibes of this place are high.
13:18I know I've said it once.
13:18I've said it twice, baked potato.
13:20But I really thought it was going to look like a rustic old potato inside.
13:24And it was really bright and charming.
13:26Yeah.
13:27And lovely.
13:27I feel like this is worth it just for the sake of bragging.
13:31I've already sent a picture of myself outside of a potato to 15 people.
13:35I can't even just call it my favorite memory.
13:37Something I'm going to take to the grave.
13:39Yeah.
13:39Yeah.
13:40Is our time spent with Miss Dolly.
13:43I have a slobber on my palm and it felt so good.
13:46You got to get that tattooed on.
13:47I really should.
13:48For the mems.
13:50Bye, Dolly.
13:51Dolly.
13:52Don't forget to write.
13:56Onwards we go.
13:5860 miles north to Idaho City.
14:00It's a historic gold rush town in the Boise National Forest.
14:04So vacationers who love history and outdoor recreation basically have it all here.
14:08And we're staying at a tiny home resort, complete with an ice cream parlor and hot springs.
14:14There are nine tiny homes.
14:18And this is where tiny meets luxury.
14:22Luxury, my favorite word.
14:24Oh, this will be fun.
14:25Yeah, yeah.
14:26Oh, we can't wait.
14:27A nice little s'mores.
14:27You know how we do it?
14:28Hold on.
14:29First and foremost, this is so cute.
14:32I hope it's as cute on the inside as it is on the outside.
14:35Wink.
14:36Okay, let's go inside.
14:37We'll get away.
14:38Just for now.
14:38Okay.
14:39I'm Tim with the Smokejumper Tiny Home Resort and we're located here in Idaho City, Idaho.
14:43So the Smokejumper Tiny Home Resort is really set up for people to get away,
14:46enjoy the outdoors, and all the things that come with being in the mountain range.
14:50Our goal was about creating an environment where everything would be on site.
14:54So that includes our hot tubs, our fire pits, movie theater area, as well as next door,
14:58we've got our ice cream shop, coffee shop, and a wine bar.
15:01We want to make sure as they walk inside, they feel the luxury, feel the comfort,
15:05and feel like they don't need to leave if they don't want to.
15:09Knock, knock.
15:10Oh!
15:11It's really cute.
15:14It's everything I hoped.
15:15I love a lofty situation.
15:17We're going to take out the bed in the bed.
15:19I would have murdered somebody in college if this could have been my dorm room.
15:22For sure.
15:23You want to see something cool?
15:23Yeah.
15:24One, two, three.
15:26Oh!
15:29Isn't that fun?
15:30Yeah!
15:31Wait, also how?
15:32I don't know.
15:33That's magic that I don't want to explore.
15:35Let's check out the kitchen.
15:37I really love how nice everything is.
15:39I do too.
15:40And new.
15:41And it's so clean.
15:43Clean.
15:43I just love that they've thought of everything.
15:46Yes.
15:47You want to check out the bathroom?
15:48Yes.
15:48Okay, great.
15:50Oh!
15:50Once again, they're knocking it out the floor!
15:54Full-size bathroom?
15:55Yeah.
15:55Yeah, this is like a hotel room.
15:57Let's get in the shower really quick.
15:58Okay.
15:58This is a good-sized shower.
16:00I mean...
16:01I could stretch.
16:02I could do warrior.
16:03They could have gotten away with a teeny tiny toilet,
16:06and a teeny tiny sink, and a shower that's just a little toothpick.
16:09But this was a full-size for a full butt and a full bod.
16:12All right, you know what's next.
16:14Let's go check it out.
16:15Spotting you, sister.
16:15Thank you, thank you.
16:16Thank you, thank you.
16:17Get in there, girl.
16:18Here I go.
16:19Oh, God.
16:19Okay.
16:20Okay.
16:23Really cozy and small.
16:24I'm really committing.
16:26Just don't put your feet on the bed.
16:27How about that?
16:27That's great.
16:28And I'm down.
16:29Oh, she's gone.
16:30Good night.
16:31Okay, do you want to see if you can open that one?
16:32Oh, yeah, yeah.
16:33Oh!
16:35Check this out.
16:37Whoa!
16:38See it?
16:39So much sunlight.
16:40It opens it up.
16:41It's less claustrophobic.
16:42It actually feels so much bigger with the windows open.
16:45I want to go see what's going on outside.
16:47Yeah, come on.
16:52Let's get some coffee.
16:54This is our favorite combo.
16:55Hello.
16:56Oh, this is so cool.
16:57What kind of coffee do you want?
16:58I would love a chai latte.
17:00You know, I got my eye on the ice cream.
17:02Two scoop, please.
17:03Cookies and cream and espresso explosion.
17:06Ice cream, you scream.
17:07We all scream for ice cream.
17:09Thank you very much.
17:13Cheers.
17:14Cheers.
17:15Ice, humid, coffee.
17:16What's a better combo?
17:17Sherry and Darcy.
17:18Correct answer.
17:19You move on to the next round.
17:21Hi.
17:21How are you?
17:22I'm Darcy.
17:23Darcy, I'm Tim.
17:24So nice to meet you.
17:25Sherry, thanks for having us.
17:26Awesome.
17:26You've done such a good job with this place.
17:28We really just wanted something where people could still have their own thing.
17:32Yeah.
17:32Or they could hang out, have a fire, make some wars, and then come watch a movie.
17:35A movie theater.
17:36Yeah, so we got the whole nine yards.
17:38So there's a ton of stuff to do.
17:39And you've got to hit the Idaho City hot springs.
17:41Hot springs.
17:41They left.
17:42Yeah, because she'll have had four scoops of dairy ice cream.
17:45Yeah, I'm going to need to just thaw.
17:46You just want to bubble up.
17:47I'm going to thaw out a bit.
17:49A hundred degrees will warm you up, I promise.
17:50That's great.
17:55Oh, get the hands in there, Darcy.
17:57Can you even begin to understand how this works?
17:59This is from the inside of our earth.
18:04This is not.
18:04That earth is producing natural 100-degree water.
18:08It is so hot in here.
18:17Nice, Sherry.
18:19Nice, Sherry.
18:20In about 10 minutes, we're going to take these robes off and slip our whole entire bodies into this tub.
18:24That's right.
18:25I feel so alive!
18:30Where should we sleep tonight, Cher?
18:32So we rented six and nine.
18:34Right.
18:34We have a choice of either.
18:36Okay.
18:37Because I wonder if it's the same or if it's different.
18:40Are you too, Sherry.
18:40I wonder if it's the same or if it's different.
18:42Those are the two things I'm wondering.
18:45Okay.
18:46A little different.
18:48Love.
18:49I can sleep in here.
18:50You can sleep in the other one.
18:51Oh, well.
18:53Or we could both sleep in one.
18:55Which one though?
18:56Six or nine?
18:56They're so similar.
18:58But I feel connected to the other one.
19:00Six is calling our name.
19:01Six is calling our name.
19:02Nine is great.
19:02We love you, nine.
19:03We love you, nine.
19:03We love you.
19:04We'll remember you.
19:05We'll think of you.
19:05Maybe tomorrow night.
19:06Yeah.
19:13Wait, what do you think the etiquette is here?
19:15Oh, yeah.
19:15Fog or unfog?
19:16Let's see.
19:17What feels right?
19:17That or that?
19:19That or that?
19:20Unfog.
19:21This one is for the scrapbook.
19:23I agree.
19:24It's kind of giving camping vibe.
19:27Yeah.
19:27Without having to pitch a tent.
19:29So clean, so nice, so new.
19:30It feels rustic, but you have everything you need.
19:33I definitely think it's worth it.
19:34As far as bang for your buck.
19:35There are so many amenities.
19:36There's so many of these.
19:38So my favorite memory.
19:40Hot springs.
19:41Yeah, I think so.
19:42You're cold.
19:43You're hot.
19:44Yeah.
19:44You're freezing.
19:45Then you're not.
19:46Hot springs all the way.
19:48I said hot springs all the way.
19:49Bye, Tim.
19:50Tim?
19:52Bye, Tim.
19:52We'll be back for movie night next year.
19:55It's true what they say.
19:57The West is wild.
19:58And so are these rentals.
19:59I know.
20:00I loved all three of them so much.
20:03I feel like all three properties were very different.
20:06So unique, each of them.
20:07This really is tough.
20:08Okay, we've got to pick our must stay.
20:10Do we try to strike it rich in an authentic old western town?
20:14Do we carbo load inside a surprisingly stylish spud with our girl Dolly?
20:19Or live out our tiny house fantasy with frozen treats and hot springs?
20:25Are you ready?
20:25It might be different, girlie.
20:27It might be different, girlie.
20:28Okay, should we say it on three?
20:30One, two, three.
20:31Smoke jumper.
20:32I didn't say it.
20:40What do you feel?
20:41I was going to say tiny house, but then I felt bad because I love Wild West so much.
20:45And what about the damn potatoes?
20:47Okay, we have to choose one.
20:48I know.
20:49I love the tiny houses.
20:50I'm a smoke jumper girlie.
20:52And you've always said that.
20:53You're on board.
20:54Let's do a review.
20:57We loved the hot springs.
20:59Yes.
20:59And ice cream at your fingertips.
21:01Each cabin was beautifully designed and had everything you need even though it was a small space.
21:05Yeah, modern yet efficient.
21:08Come alone or come with nine of your ex-boyfriends.
21:13Everyone gets cozy at the smoke jumper.
21:16Great.
21:19Do you trust me, Cher?
21:20Yeah, yeah, with my life.
21:21How does it not tip over?
21:23We're underwater.
21:24We're underwater.
21:26Oh, baby.
21:28Oh, my God.
21:29Are you okay?
21:30Oh, my God.
21:32Oh, I think they're about to do it.
21:33Oh.
