Would you live in a cave?

Those who love the outdoors and have tried exploring subterranean worlds already know what living in a cave looks like.

It might be hard to imagine at first but an AirBnB rental took this idea and built something that is truly out of this world.

Welcome to the Dunlap Hollow.

The property is home to cabin rentals that put their guests as close to nature as humanly possible. But none of their properties can do that as intimately as their cave home.

Bryant and Amy Gingerich chose one of the caves in their property and converted it into a luxury accommodation that can put a five-star hotel room a run for their money.

They chose the cave for its size and its proximity to the access road.

The cave house has its own driveway and parking space and right off the bat, any guest will be swept away by how cozy and luxurious it was.

It has a hot tub right outside the porch and an outdoor lounge area where friends and family can enjoy the sounds and sights of nature.

The cave house is well-designed and well-planned.

One of the things that can get one worried about the property is light access. They designed the property in a way that all three major areas will have access to the cave’s mouth.

They skillfully molded the walls and the frames to make it seem like the walls meld effortlessly into the cave ceiling.

They also used the design theme of “dark academia” or Gothic-inspired interiors which craftily juxtaposes the “primitiveness” of the cave with the “decadence” of the style.

The main hall houses the living, dining, and kitchen areas.

To maximize the space and to make it feel spacious, the main hall has an open floor plan. The kitchen is set on one of the walls of the cave while the living area occupied the opposite side.

The main door is also an accordion-type door that guests can open fully for seamless transitions between the interior and exterior areas.

There are two bedrooms with king beds.

The first bedroom can be accessed via the living area. It has a bigger window and has its own bathroom. The other room is darker but has an access to a window as well to help guests keep track of time.

It has gorgeous velvet walling and two extra beds. In total, the cave house can accommodate six adults.

So what can one do in this amazing rental?

They can hang out in the house’s billiard room but then again, that’s something you can already do in a bar or a pub.

Instead, guests have access to amazing hiking trails that can allow them to discover the vast property. Then, after guests come back, they can relax in the hot tub while looking at the stars and listening to the rustling leaves.

You can book a reservation on their website and check out their other gorgeous property, the A-frame cottage.

Watch how a couple transformed a cave into a luxurious rental.
