Happy Friday! Chelsea here.

Over the last few years, we've covered a variety of houses. From castle-like mansions to affordable places to rent, we've seen it all. But I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that none of those places compare to this incredibly unique homes around Ohio that we're checking out today. I mean, who has a giant ship as a house? Let yourself be distracted from the world for just a few moments and enjoy these fantastic properties.

Today's Photo 🤳

This entire week I've been fantasizing about moving to the woods. The extremely shaded, very cool woods. This heat has been a little bit of a grind. With today being over 90 we'll be hitting 12 days in a row of 90+ degree temps,

These woods lead to Hayden Falls, probably one of the

best waterfalls in our area
