  • In the USA, Marty and Yelena have created their own "village" from their collection of cars, airplanes and boats.
  • Visitors can tour the place, stay overnight via Airbnb or even get married there.
  • In conversation, the two also tell the story of how they met.

There are many unusual places in the USA - and Simone Bargetze discovered just such a home during her visit.

Marty and Yelena have been passionately collecting special objects for years: vintage cars, an airplane and even a boat are part of their repertoire. Over time, a kind of village has sprung up on their extensive grounds - built from all the treasures they usually track down via Facebook Marketplace.

Their extraordinary place is not only private, but is also open to visitors. Anyone who wants to can book an overnight stay via Airbnb, view the collection - or even celebrate their wedding here.

In addition to their finds, Marty and Yelena also share their very personal story. In an interview with Simone, they explain how they met.
