    Yeah, my "man cave" and I never call it that, is a 12X16 storage shed with covered porch, that we call "the shack" and I am more than content with that.

    If I was going to put that kind of money into my house I think I would do something the whole family could enjoy instead of a place for me and my buddies to party.

    I guess it is nice to see what people with more money than brains consider a "man cave"

    I think they should have got a male writer to do this though, aside from the barn and the garage, they weren't what I would call manly in the least.

    My man cave for the super bowl, is the 15 by 20 basement TV room for the kids. It has an L shaped sofa that seats 8 comfortably, recliners for 2 more. On the large coffee table in front of the sofa, I have a dell projector that puts up a HD quality image, 6 by 8 feet wide on the far wall. It's hooked into a sony boombox that has incredibly good sound. It is basically a home theatre - the best way to watch the game with a ten people. Babybacks, chicken wings, plenty of beer and wine - and a buffet table just outside the room for whatever my friends bring to eat. It's one of the best days of the year!

        Shouldn't "man caves" have been hyphenated: "man-caves"?

          I'm pretty sure that is exactly what they are.

          Anytime I have EVER heard the term it was in reference to a party room for the man of the house and his freinds to get away from the house and the rest of the family to get loud, drunk, and obnoxious and they usually closely resemble a sports bar.

          If not, then what do you think of as a "man cave"?

          Yeah right. Half of these "man caves" look like they were designed and built for women. Party rooms... Especially the "testosterone free" Trophy Room in Scottsdale and the Place to Party in LA.

          Leave it to women "note this story was written by Erika" to take a man cave concept and ruin it.

          These are NOT man caves! They're party rooms. Geez... Another fad whose limelight will quickly fade... But I will still have my man cave.

            My man's cave is dirty and smelly and has spears and swords crossed on the walls and animal skins on the floor. Its his home office. I go in there to bring him a beer then dart out. I LOVE his man cave.

            Mine is a beautiful 10X10 spacious room with a futon/bar/tv all bought on Craigslist for under 500 clams. So come on over to my neighborhood kiddos, and I'll make sure to treat you like Michael Jackson!

            Lesia,

            I get your concept. Family entertainment... absolutely!! These are high end family entertainment rooms.

            That's why men have "Man Caves". Except for a few days a year... I'll bet most men want to watch their sports in a place they can call their own. A place to sit down and relax, have a beer or two, and actually enjoy watching a game with those of "like interest"... not jabbering disinterested partiers.

            Some people just think its trendy to have a place they can call a man cave. Then make it look like a family room. Some of these are nice. Several look like they were decorated by a few guys "light in the loafers".

            Want to relax and watch "the game" on a really big screen, listen to some tunes, play some pool, shuffleboard, darts (real darts), have some micro brew? Come on over. My wife loves the fact that I (we) can get away into a secluded space of our own. THAT is a man cave!

            The owners have too much money and too little taste.

              You can clearly see the female "touch" in most of these man-caves. The barn is the lone exception. No female in her right mind would allow a photo with those tacky patio chairs. Most guys would never think to move them out of sight. The best seats in the house.

              Erika must be an aspiring Real Estate agent! The Texas Barn scares me, and who said there were NO SCREENS? No tubes means these rooms are for noobs or those with boobs :)

                These photo's aren't even close to being a man cave. What do they have, someone either vacuuming or mopping the floor every hour, and incense burners. Where's the trash can that you throw stuff at, instead of placing it in neatly with gloved hands? Where does the dog lay up? Where's the pinup calendar with the month out of date? These aren't men caves, these are photo spreads for interior decorators. If people call these places man caves, their idea of sport is polo or whiffleball. A man cave is known for its disarray, and smells other than flower arrangements. If you can't clean the floor with a scoop shovel and a bristle broom, you are at the wrong address.

                  Those are the most uncomfortable so-called man caves I've ever seen. What a joke.
