Want to stay in one of the most iconic houses in Christmas movie history? Well, you surely can, as the Home Alone house is officially being offered on Airbnb.
Airbnb is offering a one-night-only rental of the famed Home Alone house located in Winnetka, Illinois. An added bonus? Your stay will be hosted by Kevin’s older brother, Buzz McCallister (Devin D. Ratray). Here is the statement on Airbnb from Buzz himself:
“Though we’re older and wiser now (I’ve even got my own security firm), we’re never too old for holiday hijinks. So while we’re away on vacation (all of us, this time), I’m inviting one crew of mischief makers to let their inner eight-year-olds run free in my childhood home on Dec. 12.”
Booking for the one-night stay will open on December 7, 2021, at 2:00 PM EST but no price has been set as of this writing. I imagine it’s going to be a pricey stay but it just might be worth it just to say you stayed at the house where Kevin took down Harry and Marv. Guests will also be responsible for their own travel. The listing also states, “After you’ve worked up an appetite, you can feast on all the comfort food your hearts desire, including plenty of Chicago’s finest pizza and a candlelit dinner of microwavable Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. Then, when you’re ready to wind down, you can enjoy a viewing of the film franchise’s newest holiday adventure, Home Sweet Home Alone, on Disney+.” The winning bidder will also get an immersive Home Alone experience including the bed set comforter seen in the film, a pain bucket hung from the ceiling that Kevin used to knock out the Wet Bandits, and the bronze statue that was hit by “Little Nero’s” pizza delivery car.
The Airbnb rental is also going to a good cause. The special will raise funds for Chicago’s La Rabida Children’s Hospital, which is “dedicated to maintaining and improving the quality of life for each of its patients with complex conditions, disabilities, and chronic illness.”
