- Опубликовано: 21 май 2024
- Bryant and Amy purchased a property for a weekend getaway for their young family, but they had no idea the treasure trove that was hidden on the land. They found a huge cave and became inspired to make something out of it. So they built a luxury, modern cave home inside! It's nearly 1500 square feet and includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms. In this video, they take you on a tour and explain the challenges they faced when building a cave home. They now rent the cave house out to guests!

“We forgot to have a budget”
😂😅 must be nice to be able to forget.
I laughed at that too. I need a planned out budget just so I can eat Chick-fil-A once a month, haha!
@@jennylewispixel yes!! Everything I do is budgeted down to the penny.
decadence at it finest
If only they'd share eh
Right? Like, there are months where I have to decide if gas or food are really necessary before my paycheck arrives. I wish I could just forget to budget for something that breaks $100,000 in cost.
It's nice to have money.
Update: Some feel that this statement is necessarily bad. There is no derogatory meaning in the statement itself. It is what it is: a statement most likely true.
It sure must be...I sure wouldn't know.
Good meeting you.
😃 😊
🤝
You get your taxes!? Lmao😅
There's a guy who built one in Utah. And I love that he didn't have money. I think the video is called modern cave house.
😂😂😂
😆
Something I particularly appreciate about the design of this cave home are the master bedrooms being spaced apart on opposite sides of the cave for that added privacy. It's a small thing but really nice to see!
its a big thing w children lol
I’m staying here this Christmas with my family. Speechless is the best descriptor of this home.
How was it??
@@JB23669 it was a great place to stay and well worth it.
@@JB23669 phenomenal
“We forgot to have a budget” must be nice to be able to spend whatever you want and not worry.
I really wanted to know how they got power and water. No mention.
C Mays, exactly! How do they get rid of sewage? Lots of unanswered questions.
They actually don't. It's M A G I C.
Same way you get power and water into a normal home
@@mariobosnjak99 sure, the local water treatment facility and the grid is connected to the forest with no roads right?
At 3:17 you can see that its extremely close to a decently constructed road or driveway so I bet they aren’t that far from the grid.
"we wanted something that's gonna last in time"
-well... There's waters dripping from everywhere
It was funny to me when she was holding there son and she told us he was adopted 😂, like we didn't know that 🤣
Ya saya menyadari nya, ini komen yang saya cari dari tadi
Her sons not adopted, she gave birth to him
I personally would love to see more on the building and engineering of the house. This was allot more why I chose color and my cabinets and not enough about the engineering and what we had to do to get past these problems and what engineering features we added to it to make it a more livable structure. Like the dehumidifiers and the drainage and just basic wiring and water stuff also.
Following!
I’m guessing they hired someone to figure all that out so they probably wouldn’t be able to explain it themselves well.
Saved me from watching, thanks!
i want to see how thats design for seismic event
@@reborn3803 prayers probably. 🙏
- 2:38 you're a blessing for adopting another kid. 🙏🏽 I personally gave my son up for adoption, it was the hardest thing I ever did, however the family allows me to fly to see him anytime I want, they were unable to have children and flew all the way to me. I almost changed my mind and realized, this family is a blessing, they even signed if i wanted him back I could at any time and also that they will fly me to see him anytime, and want current photos of me and cards so that he knows his biological mother as well. I'm so happy to see this family adopt as well.
Congratulations on having the courage to do what's right for your child. Too many people choose to keep a child they can't properly care for, or WORSE, deprive them of life at ALL. And kudos to the family who recognized YOUR value in the child's life, what a blessed kid.
💓💓💓
God bless you for giving him life and God bless them for adopting him and including you in their life. It gives Moms ease to know all is well.
Blessings
Только Бог знает что правильно а что нет.. и он простит.
Надеюсь, что и ребёнок когда станет взрослым, то-же..
Beautiful creation, Artistic style and beautiful, one of a kind I can’t stop admiring your place. Lovely family indeed!!!
One of the most beautiful & unique Reno's I've seen! Love all the styles & qualities! Fabulous design & idea! Well done guys!
People burn patchouli because they say it has a good dirt smell so I don't know why they would have a problem with living in a place that smelled like Earth. People are overly sensitive to natural things because they're so used to smelling artificial things.
It's probably a concern over a musty smell that can come from dampness. I have been extremely ill from mold in the past, and with sensitive lungs, it would be a concern. However, with 4 dehumidifiers, there should be no problem. I love patchouli, but I would not associate it with a cave smell.
That is so true!
Translation.."my coochie stinks" ;)
@@chantellkratzer8915 projecting?
@@kamikazitsunami naa it's not projecting much but I gotta get to a clinic.
I have a cave man in our family. My sister married a guy who lived in a cave. Actually it was an old salt mine or something, and they had a driveway that went right into the cave. It housed a whole bunch of people. It was sort of like a commune I guess. They had a huge kitchen and pretend windows that would light up slowly in the morning and go black at night, so it felt like day and night in the cave. They also had their own school right in the cave. It was quite self sufficient and some people did not leave for weeks at a time. My sister was one of the teachers there. I've always wanted to live in an underground home. Someday when my ship comes in...
Where is located, does it has a name?
Wtf that's crazy cool
It sounds more like you’ve discovered a lost society that is trying to integrate itself into modern day life. You might be hiding one of the greatest discoveries in modern history!
Do they decorate the walls of said “Salt Cave” with vague drawings in natural paints showing the men hunting a mastodon or something?
Woah sounds like some sort of cave-cult! Who’s the leader!?
Where can i find this place?
Wow! This takes outdoor living to another level.. simply amazing! 👏
I LOVED this house!!! Beautiful family, ADORABLE kids!
But, why kids not same color?....
@@l_7911 naughty america nobody does is better
“We forgot to have a budget.”…😞 wish I could say the same.
That place where the wall is damp and water is coming in is perfect for Moss!!!
The 30+ Moss species all have a unique style and texture and it is easy to precisely grow it where you want it. You can make an awesome design on that wall.
Also, this is the benefits of moss:
Moss has possibly the best air cleaning and oxygenating capabilities of any plant, so is one of nature's best air filters, helping to naturally clean the air we breathe. Moss has the natural ability to absorb and metabolise fine dust, converting particles into natural and harmless biomass.
If you decide to go with the Moss idea than please upload a video or send pictures!!!
Thanks 🙏
Great idea!! 😁👍
Does moss erode rocks?
@@skle2300 Although they do not have real roots, they affect the surfaces on which they grow: the release of various organic acids dissolves underlying rock minerals. This process of dissolution and chemical transformation of rock minerals is called chemical weathering. If a one inch by one inch rock had moss on it, it would take thousands of years to dissolve.
@@XsxLife Moss also holds moisture, and creates a breeding ground for mold if no natural cleaners are present (like folsomia candida). Your options with an indoor moss wall are as follows: use fake/dead/preserved moss, introduce bugs into your living space to keep the moss clean, or simply allow mold to take over your interior. My recommendation is to keep the moss outdoors, my second choice would be to use preserved moss. You do not want a living moss wall, moss is not self cleaning as you suggested. At most you could keep a fan circulating on the moss wall and spray it daily/weekly with diluted hydrogen peroxide, but I still wouldn't risk it personally.
@@Aethelvlad The attachment is a link to a PDF file from 2014 from the Washington State University talking about the Myths about Moss. (See Myth #5)

Amazing! I love the decor and colour choices. Very luxe but also gorgeously grounded!
Beautiful family. They are blessed and I pray they continue to be blessed and be blessings
This is awesome! One question I had was, “Why don’t you use the internal natural water collection into rain water collection and use it for water conservation to wash your dishes and little things like that?” ❤
Wondering the exact same thing. I hope they can figure out how to do something with the excess water.
It might simply not be enough water to be able to save it up and use it.
You bring up a good point. It would make sense but of course there would be a huge labor investment. I think a lot would depend on the site. Is this toward the top of a hill, mountain or us it on the side or near the bottom. Is a river going to burst through a wall someday? How much snowfall does the area receive, etc.
Probably not enough to make the labor worth it and the water Probably changes composition seasonally.
I'd suggest the water passing through contains lots of minerals that would be hard on pipes/leave deposits on dishes and the like.
How awesome is this family 🫡 Good job guys, love peace and favor to you and your beautiful family.
🤮
A truly amazing realisation of a dream home! You must feel such a great sense of accomplishment.
I don't know if I'd ever want to leave this place. I would cry every time I had to leave. 🙂 Thank you for sharing.
This build shows such reverence for the cave and its surroundings that it just takes my breath away,😍 Sumptuous and scenic in the very best ways, bravo!👏
This is so amazing! Normally I'm not a fan of black kitchens, but you're right, it works perfectly in that space.
Stunning. Stunning. Love all the various nooks and crannies within the walls of the cave that they were able to keep intact. Such a beautiful build.
Gorgeous home, very unique! Love the book shelves!
For many years I've been very interested in building a freeform "dome home ' but ...not on the surface ,but to backfill it ,so as to create a home under ground ...but you've really done what I've imagined .... naturally...my hat's off to you ..great job ...great family ..👍🙏
You mean like an underground house. They're not all that.
I can just see a scene, years from now, someone says to a member of a new generation of this family, "what, were you born in a cave? Close the door", and they'd respond, "well, funny you should ask that..."...
LOL! XD
Wow...wow...what a talented, dedicated, kind and visionary couple...their projects are beautiful. It feels like they are honouring nature, quality of life, and hopefully the Indigenous lands upon which they have been fortunate enough to live, build and work on. Their interior designer is something else (at first I thought it was them... would be interested to learn who they are). The results are truly amazing/grounded/artistic/harmonious and creative!) What a wonderful vision to transform into reality! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this channel! Gratitude for sharing this positive inspiration 💜
Talented ? 😂 they just have money to wast
@noure b ... Sure, maybe "talent" wasn't the right word...just a statement, as I was impressed with such a big transformation; they embraced an old, fading space, took the time to restore it with integrity AND their own $$$. That's how these things go, after all. I merely appreciate the results; they look great and will serve the space for a long time to come vs. a total waste into nothing. Cynicism is easy, but lazy...hope you find a way to explore what you actually like via your own online viewing, and enjoy/be inspired by/learn from what you admire and/or helps you expand your universe...vs trolling and critiquing based on minutiae...peace...
What I love the most is that they have trees growing above their head ❤
This couple has some serious $$$.
No you think ?🤔 😂....
All good and well done... But am I the only one thinking...BATMAN.... 😂
I was thinking they should change their name to Rubble or Flintstone….
Impressed. This rocks, literally.
Enjoyed the video and information very much. I am building a Mid Century home and it never gets old to see what others come up with. I must say you have a vision and that vision is now complete and it is wonderful.
Holy moly that is a great home!
Oh my goodness, That is such a gorgeous house! I can’t believe how they built that with just rocks, I could never! 😂
For approximately 200k it has to look good.
@@kirdot2011 It's more than 200k. But it's a "starting 600 USD/night" rental investment. So they precisely calculated everything. It's a business model, not a home, so that's why they poured that much into design.
@@agnespethes so they`re not living in it just renting it?!
@@kirdot2011 They live in a city.
Have seen your home a few times on Levi Kelly’s channel and I absolutely adore your cave home ❤. Love the decor and the design. And well thought out interior designs for each room making each space as special as the other 👏🏽bravo!!! Stunning!
That channel for sure receive money for the exposure. As this is a classic Airbnb style model. "Starting 600 USD/night", based on their own home page! It's not a home. It's a business model, where they invested money into the design to attract more people. It's fine. It's just weird how they pose as a family, instead of investors.
Our ancestors used to live in caves with simple tools and today we are in front of a cave equipped with all modern means of living, really something to admire❤🎉😮
And you can try it only for "starting 600 USD/night"! As these "humble" people, who are accidentally bragging about spending more than 100k on decoration offering you on their website... Yeah. Very ancestors like.
@@agnespetheswow😮 really?
are they actually renting this place.
~we forgot a budget lolololz~ well, i guess at least you have the rich amused. but other than that out of touch line, it is beautiful, but mother nature will push you out in many years to come. oh, and your family is adorable.
I really appreciate all the thought and very careful decisions that were made in bringing this home to life. I would have appreciated a bit more about the construction especially how water was brought in and wastewater removed as well as how electrical was brought to the cave. It's great how all the utilities were able to be incorporated into the flooring and the very few walls. It would also be great to hear what the natural temperature is within the home before any heating or cooling year round.
There’s a road 100’ from the house likely had a water pump and electrical box right around there somewhere to feed the house. Plumbing I have no idea. Likely septic
Cool idea but incomplete from its inception, it will be a mushy mildew mess in a few years. these airBNB scammers probably deserve it tho
am I the only one who notice that the 3rd child is black? i mean im not racist but wtf
Congratulations on this special place! Just love it!
You have the greatest cave home which is never ever to be created anymore. Very blessed.
I grew up in Columbus and spent loads of time in Hocking Hills; even went to a private elementary school that at times held classes in the caves! Native Americans used them as shelter for thousands of years, so they are simply continuing that tradition.
Really beautiful home, even if it wasn't in a cave. Please put a safety rail on the top murphy bed though. I know of a 10yo who fractured her skull falling out of a top bunk while sleeping, and even though her Dad was a DR and realised immediately she need an ambulance before many symptoms were showing, she sadly passed away.
Gorgeous! Thanks for showing us!
So beautiful and the ambience is very relaxing.
I watch a lot of tiny home videos...but this has to be the most creative one I have seen so far. Cannot wait to see the next one that this couple built. I would stay that just to play pool there. Playing pool is my second passion in life, my first one is photography
This is not a tiny home
@@iamezrajalelSo, how does that negate what he said? This is an episode of ALTERNATIVE homes, not tiny homes. It just happens to be on her tiny home CHANNEL. Basically, he was watching for the tiny home aspect and got a bonus.
I thought exactly the way HE did: Come for the tiny homes, stay for the cave.
Thank you! We have branched out to include truly unique homes of any sizes in our alternative home series. We do still cover tiny homes of course
And this is in Ohio correct?
I want my log cabin and it needs to have something like this as well.
2:10 Good point that you need a geologist to make sure that the cave is structurally sound! And in so a unique situation a structural engineer should be involved.
Absolutely stunning both homes ❤
Gorgeous! I could live in this. Especially here in Texas where our summer temps reach over 100*. Being inside a natural cave would keep you cool all summer long and warm in the winter with the heating system you installed. Well done!
Wow, wow, wow... That is a wonderfully exquisite cave home - it's truly gorgeous, with so many amazing and lovely features!
This is probably one of the most unique and beautiful Tiny homes I have seen so far. The little boy is so adorable, he almost looks like a Baby Doll.
It doesn't look like a tiny home, it looks like a cave home. A very nice one, I
might add!
@@chrisroper2731 - Well it is being shown on Tiny House Giant Journey and that is why I called it a tiny home...I know it is a cave home. And it is nice...I am not so sure I would want to live in it as I would be terrified the house would cave in on me one day. lol
1500 Sq feet isn't a tiny home
Depends on what you are used to... Erdogan or Putin would call it a tiny house. 😅
@@paanne1013 it's been like that for millions of years. I'm thinking in your short life span, you'd be okay. And it would be safer than 98% of home's because protection from storm's and fire.
Love to watch this video not only because of the unique house but the family are lovely with that small details I saw its a perfect awesome I got tears on my cheek
Great place to live. Really done in a classy way. Lovely family too.
Must be nice to have multiple homes!
yeah its okay. Have to pay for them all and maintain them though.
Must be nice to be making money out of them 😭
Yep! Income property…
@@gregercarter1 hey are you in Israel or was that a picture on vacation with the Israeli flag?
Either way be safe out there and God Bless!
Yup.
If I won the big lottery, that is a home I could see myself buying or having built. There is something comforting about cave dwellings.
Pure genius, what an amazing find and build!!! 😱👏😍
Amazingly awesome cave tiny home .. just just gorgeous cave home ..
Boring comments today. Jen deserves more. This is the best channel on.
Your home in a cave is so beautiful. Never would think of something like this. Lots of beautiful decor all in your home.
Absolutely beautiful..very well decorated..
This is the most beautiful and unique house I‘ve ever seen.
It's beautiful I'm happy for you guys ! What an awesome cave house!👍
"We forgot to have a budget." Must be nice. Maybe their unfortunate choice of words should have been edited out? I can’t finish the video now.
Why?
You really to ear that to understand they have a lot lot of money 😂 ?!
This is beautiful all the way around you guys have beautiful souls
We spent a week in Hocking Hills last summer. It’s amazing there. I love this idea!
The dining room table & chairs likely cost more than my car. It looks sssoooooo glorious in that rustic cave motif though.
What an imaginative thing to do!
I’ve seen this home on another channel, it’s amazing! That entire town has a plethora of unique homes!!!!
Link?
Absolutely amazing!
Beautiful!!
I think I saw their other container home. They must have a lot of money to build these beautiful homes.
That's what I'm thinking. These two have to have MAJOR cash flow in order to build multiple homes especially THIS ONE. Who spends this type of money, resources, & energy on a home like this one to not actually live in it but a few days every month or so?
To me it screams they have too much money & don't know what to do with all of it imo.
@@ondreacounts2556 They said early on that they rent it out, so it's probably an expensive high-end Airbnb that pays for itself.
@@ondreacounts2556 “ too much money” who gets to decide?
What a fabulous cave home, such creative ideas and planning to keep the cave structure and add to its natural beauty while buiding a gorgeous home within it. It is definitely the nicest cave home I've seen! The overnight rental price reflects its luxury accomodations, but how cool it would be to rent and split the cost with a few friends or family members for a quick get a way!
Im blown away by the tour online !!
How are you doing today
Imagine chilling next to the fireplace, watching Harry Potter, while it‘s storming outside.
Brilliant idea, well thought-out. The whole design looks very cool.
What an absolutely beautiful home. I would love to stay there. It's amazing.
This is absolutely stunningly gorgeous.
Wow!
Amazing 🎉
Weldone!
I wish you a continued success
Phenomenal home! Just gorgeous!
Your home is amazing. I love all of the artistic creativity combined with the natural elements. And you guys are an awesome family ❤
Wow! So beautiful!
Wow , such a beautiful house. Good job 👏
What an amazing creation! Love the Gothic design and those chandeliers are stunning.
Oh my gosh! It’s incredible! It’s Beautiful! I love it!
Man finally back to cavern.
It's so beautiful. I need mine now.
Beautiful house.nice surroundings...beautiful famly. 💝💝💝💝💝
What creative genius you both have.
Amazing
Stunning
I want to stay there some day.
absolutely gorgeous. I would love to live there full time.
Absolutely stunning! 😍❤
Absolutely Amazing and Beautiful!
Another ohmazing video, thank you for sharing this content.
Wow, they have four dehumidifiers and each of them is capable of extracting 7-8 gallons of water/day from the ambient environment! I wonder how much water they are collecting in their cave home within a given week. It's probably higher in the winter and spring given the increased levels precipiation.
Such a beautiful home 😍
It’s absolutely gorgeous. I would love to talk to them and people who helped them build it to see if I couldn’t do the same in buying some property there in Ohio or somewhere else that had caves on them. I love the idea of this, and the cost seems surprisingly low, other than on the areas that they splurged… Which I totally understand. Because they did an incredible job. I would love to know how much the land cost them, and how much of the land that they actually own.
Regardless, this would be a dream place for me. As others have said, I’d be interested to know how they got the electricity up there or if they are using some sort of solar system. It would definitely be interesting to get the details on stuff like that and again, the Land cost, and how much acreage they got with it.
Amazing!! It’s absolutely GORGEOUS 😍
I agree!
It has always been my dream to live in a cave ! wow this is beyond magical, the decorating and gothic touch is absolutely impeccable. Lets see their main home now hahaha.
This is so beautiful !
It's obvious that power lines are very close to their cave, couple of times you could see regular houses nearby . They are not far from sewer lines also . They are not 50 miles 🤪 from the nearest town 🤣😅🤣. THIS PLACE IS UNBELIEVABLE, GORGEOUS. PERIOD 🌑
