And this place is beautiful. Welcome to Idol Reserve. Today we are in Hawking Hills, Ohio.
I'm here often because there are so many beautiful cabins to show off, and Idol Reserve is brand new
and it is incredible here. Today is a very special video, though, because we're going to be touring
five cabins. Idol Reserve has five cabins on their property, and they all have their own
unique touches to them. Three of them are the same exact layout, but the interior design
is very different in the three of them. So it'll be interesting to tour those three and see how
much interior design can change up a space. The one I'm staying in right now is their largest one.
It takes the design of the smaller one and just expands upon it, and this one is amazing. And then
the last one is a renovated cabin that was already on this property, and they did such a great job
at renovating it. That interior design is beautiful as well. So this is an action-packed
video. Normally this would be five separate videos or something, but we're getting five
cabins in one video today. So let's just get straight into it because this is going to be
a long and fun video. I will get this out there now. If you want to book any of the places we
show on this property after you watch the videos and you can see which one you want to stay at,
you can use code LEVI10 on their website and save 10% on your booking. So I highly suggest
doing that if you enjoy what you see in this video. It lasts all year through 2022.
At Auto Reserve, the construction of the cabins was done by Hygiee Supply.
I will leave a link to their website down below, and you could actually have them construct your
own house as well, or tiny house, if you really enjoy what we're seeing today. So when you pull
up to the property, you will see how beautiful these cabins are. You will go to the one that
you've booked for yourself, or if you booked all of them for a wedding or something cool,
that would be awesome as well. They are numbered from one to five. We're not going to be touring
them in order because that's just too predictable. So we will just start with number two. This one
is the one I stayed in, and it's the largest one. Whenever you pull up here, you can have your car
parked right next to the electric charging station. All of these cabins have electric chargers
right at them. You can walk right up to the cabin. It is beautiful with the black wood on the outside,
and on this left side, you have this huge open air deck space, and that's what makes this cabin
very different from the other ones. And you walk up on the deck space, you'll pass your hot tub,
you have a huge seating area on this left side, beautiful outdoor furniture. You got the fire
going right here. It is very cold while I'm staying here, so this fire was really nice. They
provide the wood for you right here, and then on the other side there's a grill. And then behind
all of this is an outdoor dining table with some cool accent lighting above it, and you can just
see out into your view, which is all woods, and it is nice to have this private area, and it's just a
huge open area. So let's walk inside through this door over here and see the beautiful interior this
place has to offer. Man, when you walk inside, the lighting is so beautiful in here. There's windows
everywhere, and it is so spacious and huge in here. I love it so much, and just the design of this
is incredible. First thing you walk into is your dining table. This dining table was built by
Carpenter Sun, which is located in Columbus, Ohio, so it is a very nice table. It can seat a total of
eight guests, and it just looks really good in here. And then behind this is your kitchen space.
This kitchen is immaculate. The huge island right here in the middle, this is probably the biggest
island we have seen. I love the countertop. It is this black stone, and it feels sturdy. It feels
very high quality, and that just goes along with everything else in the kitchen. The appliances
are hidden behind all of these cabinet doors, so it just looks so good, and they are high efficiency
Fisher Paykel appliances. So if you know anything about them, you know that these are awesome.
And like the fridge is hidden right on this right side, and even all the storage units, you open them
up, they have drawers in them, you have all the supplies you need for a kitchen space. They even
provide some local coffee, Roosevelt coffee, which is very good. I'm very familiar with them, and they
even provide an espresso machine here. These are not cheap, so you can have an espresso, you can
make yourself a latte, or they leave a Chemex as well, and you just have yourself a regular cup of
coffee. So the supplies they leave here are just incredible. And even on the island, you have plenty
of cabinet space on the side that faces the dining table. They have games in here, Catan, which is my
favorite game ever. And even the details with the kitchen sink, how on the countertop they have these
grooves here to lay your wet dishes here. You don't even need a mat. I mean, it's just the details like
this that are awesome. And the filtration system for the water is through a 400-foot well in the
ground, and it is filtered through that, then a reverse osmosis system to come out of the tap.
Tastes great. It tastes like nothing. You don't want water to taste like anything. And I liked it a
lot, so that is like that with all the cabins as well. But anyway, we'll move on to the living space now.
This is absolutely beautiful space. The huge windows and all these walls. The sun rises on this side,
so it bleeds in beautiful lighting. And you just have a couple seating chairs, a couch, a few reading
lights, and then a fireplace over here. It is a gas fireplace, so it's really easy to turn on
and get cozy in here, especially in the winter months. And then you have a frame TV right above
it. These TVs are my favorite because they look like works of art. Sometimes TVs are ugly, but
this one is really beautiful. You can have works of art on it, or you could use it as a regular TV.
So that is everything in this living room, and this is probably my favorite space in this cabin.
It is awesome. Behind this living room is an open space, and there's even a small
shelving unit right here that has a record player in it. Speaking of record player and music,
one amazing thing about this cabin is if we look where all the light switches are, it is a system
by Brilliant, which this is the first time I've ever seen this or used it. Of course, you got all
the light switches that dim on and off, and then you have screens on these switches. You can connect
your Spotify to it, and you can play music all through the house. You can change it using the
screen, and you can even access cameras from the screen, like cameras to your front door,
your back door, anything. And there's also an intercom system on this, which is, it just blew
my mind. I had a really fun time playing with all this and listening to music. Let's continue back
around the hallway by the kitchen. We walk back here. On this left side, there is also a hallway
that goes all the way to the other side of the cabin, and this splits up the back of the cabin
and the front of the cabin. In here, you have a welcome book, some more storage cabinets. You can
put all of your luggage in here if you want. You can hang up clothes in here as well, and it's just
really nice to have. And on this back side is a small bathroom. You have your vanity on the left
and the toilet on the right, and then we can continue along down this hallway. You have a
bunk bed down in here. The bottom bed is a really nice size, and the top bed is a little bit smaller,
so you can climb up this ladder, and it just looks really beautiful to have this. And I mean, if you
have bringing kids, they would love this. This just allows for a lot more guests. So, and on the other
side of this, you have a washer and dryer behind these doors as well. So, lots of hidden spaces in
here. Everything is just really beautiful. I want to be sounding like a broken record in this, because
we got a lot to cover. Anyway, if we go on the other side, back where the front door was, we can
continue walking down that hallway, and this is your spare bedroom space. On this left side, we can
walk through the store, and you have your own bathroom back here. And there is a huge tiled
walk-in shower, beautiful wood on the ground, the water just flows right through it, huge horizontal
subway tiling in here, and of course your shower. The nozzle is on the opposite side of the shower
head, so you can turn on the shower without getting wet. Genius. And then your vanity, of course. It
matches everything else in this house. And then back through the bedroom is, you have the bed in
the middle, some nice stands on each side, you even have a couple closet spaces. If you open them up,
they have some robes in here for you to use to shower, or to go out to the hot tub, or whatever.
Pretty spacious bedroom, and of course, you can close all the windows with these blinds.
Now, let's walk back through the hallway and into the back of the home on the other side.
We can walk through this hallway, and this is your master bedroom space. Such a great bathroom
and bedroom. The huge king bed right here in the middle, all of the sheets are natural linens and
mattress as well. There's more closet space over here to store your bags or hang up your clothes
in here. Sometimes Airbnbs don't offer that in the bedrooms, which is crazy, but there's plenty
of space in this bedroom for all of that. And then now we can walk into your master bathroom. This is
just out of this world, I think. On this right side, you have this enclosed glass space for your
bathtub on this left side, and then your double shower on the right side, which is incredible to
have two shower heads in here and a bathtub. And to have the glass just show all the way through,
this is really fun to look at. You got the windows, double glass walls on both sides,
I mean it's just picture perfect in here. Then you have double vanity over here on the left side,
and then through this back door is your toilet room. With that being said, that is everything
for this first cabin. The heating is through the floor, actually. There's tubing through the floor
that heats up this cabin, and it did a really great job, actually. It's been like zero degrees
Fahrenheit here, and I've been pretty cozy inside this cabin. So now I did a really detailed tour
of this one. Let's walk to another cabin on this property, and we'll go through the other ones a
little bit quicker because there are some similar aspects to them. You'll see. Let's walk down to
cabin number five now and walk through this one. This is one of their smaller cabins, and it has a
very similar feel as the cabin we just toured. You'll walk in, and this is kind of your welcome
area. There's cabinets on this right side, your washer and dryer is back there, and then there's
some storage cabinets on this left side to put your stuff, coats, boots, whatever you have in here.
And we can walk through this hallway, and we enter into your main living space. You have the kitchen
right here on the right side. It is the exact same layout kitchen as the one we just toured, but it's
a different color scheme. It is this dark blue, and it just has a different vibe in here. So if you
like this vibe better than the last one, then this cabin is definitely for you. The dark blue is
beautiful. You have everything the same. Same coffee maker, same coffee, same refrigerator. Everything
is very identical with this kitchen as the last one, so you're not going to be missing out on
anything. I think the kitchen is very beautiful. The dining table is a little bit different, a little
bit smaller because not as many guests are going to be sleeping in this cabin. And just different
furniture choices in here, and then now we can move on to the living room. Completely different
layout of the living room, but the windows are all the same, and you have the fireplace in here as
well, along with the frame tv. And the furniture choices are very fitting with this cabin, and I
like how they just changed the layout of it all to give it just a totally different feel in here.
And then one difference is on the back side of this living room piece, you have a workstation,
I would say. You can sit here, get some work done, you can write, or whatever you need to happen,
because sometimes people like to get away and do work while they're gone. So this is a good
station for that. And then another difference is you have this door off of this room, and when you
walk out this door, you have a small patio space out here with some chairs, you have a grill out
here, but there's also a small hot tub down the steps for you to enjoy, so that is really nice to
have. And this place also has a fire pit over on the left side on the outside of the cabin, but it
was really snowy, so I didn't get to enjoy it too much, but that's okay. Heading back inside though,
right past this door, you can walk back through here, and in this room is your bedroom space.
This is a much different bedroom than the other two we've shown, so you have the bed right here
in the middle. It kind of looks like a murphy bed, because the bed is sunken into the wall with the
cabinet sticking out on each side, but it's not. The cabinet space is really nice though, because
you can store your stuff in here, or over here on the right side, they leave some robes for you to
enjoy, and you got the accent lighting above the bed. It just looks really good in here. And then
through this door is your bathroom space. The vanity over here on the right that matches the
rest of the home, the color scheme and everything, your toilet, and then on the other side, you have
the huge walk-in shower as well. The double shower heads in here and a bathtub on this side, so it is
beautiful in here. The tiling is great, and it just feels really luxurious in this space. And that sums
up for this cabin. As you can see, it was a lot similar, but just a lot smaller, compact, made for a
couple or a couple with a kid, and the other one's definitely made for a family or a larger group of
people. So now, we'll be moving on to cabin number four. Now, this is the exact same layout as cabin
five, the one I've just shown you, but the interior design is all different. So let's go see how much
a cabinet can change with just a little bit different interior design. When you walk inside
this one, the floor plan is the same everywhere. The color scheme is way different. This one is a much
moodier green, more 1920s or Victorian era feeling to me, I think. It is much more darker and moodier
in here. The kitchen is all the same, but with green cabinets this time, there's a much different
dining table in here. And over on the living room side, it is all very different in here as well.
You got the same windows, but instead of the wood framing, it is the black framing. Much more
manly tone in here, and a completely different layout for the furniture in the living room.
Completely different furniture for the living room. I really like this leather chair right here,
it is very comfortable to sit at and read in here. But you also have a fireplace, the frame tv
on behind this living room. Instead of a workstation back here, you have a beautiful
wood hutch, and it looks incredible in here. Fits with the style very well. And then you have the
same outdoor patio when you walk out here, some chairs, a grill, and then of course, a hot tub out
here for you as well. And we can walk back through the bedroom, same layout, but instead of the dark
blue, it's the dark green everywhere. And the picture frames in here are different, and now we can
walk through the bathroom space, and the bathroom is the same as well. The beautiful, luxurious
bathroom. So what do you think of this cabin? Did you like it better than the blue one, or did you
like the blue one better? We still got one more to show you, and that is cabin number one. So let's
walk all the way back to cabin number one, and this one is the last cabin of this format. But
the interior is just so much different, it's incredible. So let's walk inside there.
We walk inside here, this one is a black and white scheme, much, much brighter and airier in here. So
if you're not a fan of the dark, moodier tones, then this one might be the one for you. It's also
a little bit more of a modern vibe in here. Same kitchen space, but you might have thought the
cabinets would have been white or black, but they're blue, and it looks really good with the white
walls and everything else in here. You have your dining table over here, a little bit more
modern vibe, and then a record player back here in the corner. And then now to the living room,
this is a much different living room. Different layout, a huge couch, you have a gigantic green
light over the couch, this black chair on top of this cowhide rug is really neat. This time,
the frame tv is black, and on top of this chair, instead of the fireplace, that's a little bit
different. And then a pop of color, you have this yellow accent chair in the corner, so it looks
really good in here. The windows, of course, look incredible with the lighting coming through.
Behind all of this, there is another workstation back here, and there's even a typewriter, so if
you enjoy using that, you can use it, or you can just move it all the way, do some work back here.
But overall, it all looks really good in here, and you're not missing anything that the other
cabins don't have, really. So, it's just a different layout. Back bedroom, it is all white, a lot brighter
in here. And yeah, you can walk through the bathroom, and it's the same tiling and everything
in here, as well. So, that is a tour of the three smaller cabins. What did you think of the interior
design space? Let me know in the comments down below which one was your favorite. I'm gonna have
to say out of the three, my favorite was the first one we toured, the blue, nudier space. That just fit my
vibe a little bit better, but they're all really incredible and well done. It would be hard to design
one space, for one, but to design three or five spaces that this place has is really awesome. So,
now we're going to be touring the last cabin, which this cabin was on the property when the
hosts bought it, and they renovated it, and did such a good job. And let's just walk inside and check it out.
This cabin is 100% different from the other ones. You walk in, and this whole top floor is really
open and cozy at the same time. It feels really intimate in here because all the stuff that's going
on, and it's just a little bit tighter of a space compared to the other ones, but that's not a bad
thing because it's still really open and large in here. On this left side, under these two skylight
windows, you have a reading space. There's lots of books behind these two chairs to look at and to
read. You also have a small guitar and even a record player over here, as well. So, this is a really
cozy area to sit at and just enjoy your time, and it looks really good. And then, on the other side
of this is your living room space. This is one of the coziest living rooms, totally awesome. This
whole wall behind the fireplace is a black tile. Then, of course, your really neat fireplace. I
haven't seen one that looks quite like this. When you light the fire, it really glows and it looks
beautiful. They provide all the wood in here for you, as well. It's right under this fireplace, and
having the wood inside makes it feel really cozy, as well. You got the furniture pieces, your couch,
your chair facing this, and then you even have a small bookshelf on this right side with some books
to choose from. So, this living room is really cozy. And then, moving on to the kitchen space, all the way
on the other side, these huge windows let in some really good lighting. The kitchen is on this right
side. Same idea with the huge kitchen island right here in the middle, but it's a little bit
shorter than the other ones because it's a smaller kitchen. But the same great countertop, that is
this black stone. You have the built-in stove right into this island. And then, on the other side, the
same beautiful cabinets. You got the open shelves, though, right here with the great black tiling back
splash behind it. The wooden shelves, all your dishes up here, looks great. They even provide the same
type of coffee and espresso machine over here, as well. But we can open up all of these cabinets,
you'll see all your stuff that you need in here. You have a hidden dishwasher, you have this cabinet
that is full of your coffee supplies when you pull out the drawers, and then on this left side is your
hidden refrigerator and freezer. And yeah, this kitchen just looks incredible. It's the same
materials used as the other cabins, just a completely different layout. And then, on the
other side is your dining space. Beautiful table, you got the metal chairs all around it. But on this
side, you have a booth-style seat, and this might be my favorite dining table out of all the cabins,
as well, just how it's laid out. Through these windows, there is a sliding door right in the
middle, and you can walk out into your first patio space. This patio space would be great use for the
but right now, you can see it is full of snow. On this left side is a dining table, and the right
side is a grill. But I'm getting cold, so let's head back inside. On this side of the cabin,
you have a small hallway, and you can either walk on the left or right side. The right side is your
first bedroom space. It is a nook-style bedroom, I would say, because the ceiling is sloped,
and there's really just enough space in here for the bed and a small dresser. The bed is right
under the skylight, so you can be sleeping under the stars at night, but you will be woken up by
the sunlight. So for early bird people, this bedroom would be good for you. And it's really
moody in here, and I'm sure it gets really dark at night because the walls are dark, as well.
On the other side, you have a small dresser and some robes and towels provided for you. And now,
we can walk on the other side of this, and this is your bathroom space. This is a beautiful
bathroom. I love the sloped ceiling in here. There's a skylight right above your bathtub.
You have the tiling behind this bathtub and the faucet that comes out of the wall. This is just
beautiful. If you're a bath person, you're going to love this bathtub. And you have a small vanity
on this right side with the mirror behind you because of the sloped ceiling and then your
toilet space. Bright bathroom, really nice use of space because of the sloped ceiling. So,
really awesome. And that is everything for this top floor. Let's walk down the steps,
which are on the other side of the cabin and into the basement, which has a lot more space down
there. When you walk down here, the host told me there were no windows in this basement. So,
now with the added windows, it doesn't really feel like a basement. It feels really comfy,
actually. This space is your living room. And if you're a TV watcher, the TV is down here.
There's a frame TV. The orange couch and the black chair look really good down here, I would say. So,
two living room spaces so far. We can walk back through this door and this is another bathroom
space for you. This one is a lot larger and in here, it is really moody, as well. On this left
side is your sink with the beautiful hanging lights, the beautiful mirror. I mean, this just
all looks great in your toilet. And then on this back wall is your huge double walk-in shower,
again with the double shower heads. That seems to be a theme in all the cabins. So, the hosts must
really like double shower heads, but who doesn't? Because if you're coming as a couple, it is
awesome and it just makes the shower a lot larger and the beautiful tiling everywhere. I mean,
it just all looks great in here. So, props to them. Now, as we walk out of here, there is a
last hallway. You can either walk on the right or left side. Both of these are bedrooms. The bedroom
on the right is a bright bedroom. It's really airy in here. Huge bed right in the middle,
the beautiful wooden slab as a headboard behind it. You got hanging lights on each side, which is
a little bit different from just a nightstand. I really like these hanging lights, actually.
It looks great. A huge mirror over here. There's a small chair and a cubby back here. And then
another mirror by the door, but this one you can open up. You got your robes in here, and there's
even drawers you can pull out that have extra necessities that you might need. So, this is a
really simple bedroom, huge and airy. And now we can walk into the other bedroom, and it is a
mutier bedroom with green walls. And you got the bed right here in the middle, but also you have
a bunk bed in this corner. So, this is the family cabin, I would say. You can sleep a total of eight
guests, I believe. I really liked how they renovated this cabin. It feels really cozy. I think I could
live there very, very easily. So, that is all of the five cabins in this one video. There was a lot to
look at. You heard my voice a lot. This is Idol Reserve. You can rent one of them, you can rent
all of them with your family or friends. And yeah, let me know what your favorite cabin was down in
the comments below. My favorite is the first one we toured, the one I actually stayed in. I just
really liked the color scheme of it all and the design of everything. It is everything I would
pick for my own house. And it felt really comfy, and there's just a lot of space to go around for
everything. To sum everything up, Idol Reserve, great host of people. They told me they pay their
employees double the industry standard, and they went through a lot of effort to make everything
sustainable. Like with the electric charging stations, like with the heated floor system,
and with the organic cottons and just soaps and supplies they leave. You can read all about that
on their website below. Anyway, thank you for watching this video. I hope you enjoyed it. I
know it was a little bit longer than most videos because we toured all the places in one, and I
hope I didn't lose you anywhere. So, thank you guys so much for watching these videos. It means
the world to me. Anyway, I'll see you next week in another video.
