Are you part of the generation that grew up with Kevin McCallister in the ever-famous Christmas movie series, Home Alone? Then you would be elated to know that the actual McCallister home or the Home Alone house can now be booked on Airbnb. Yey! Read more details below.
Experience the Home Alone House for Your Family
This Christmas season, fans are set to have their dreams come true with an overnight stay in the original Home Alone house. While the McCallisters are away on their annual trip (all of them but the pet tarantula, this time), four guests will get the opportunity to relive their favorite scenes from the holiday classic. Yes, they can let their inner eight-year-olds run free for the evening without the interruption of pesky intruders.
Big brother Buzz McCallister will join thousands of Hosts on Airbnb by opening the doors to his family’s Chicago home as the ultimate gift this month. Following the release of Home Sweet Home Alone, the all-new holiday film now streaming on Disney+, this Airbnb stay offers a trip down memory lane. This is truly a sweet and unforgettable way to celebrate the holidays.
“You may not remember me as particularly accommodating,” says Buzz, “but I’ve grown up, and I’d be happy to share my family home – my pizza, even – with you this holiday season. Just try not to let my tarantula, Axl, loose this time.”
What You Will Get at the Home Alone House
Buzz will host a one-night stay* for up to four guests at the McCallister residence on Dec. 12 for only $25**.
During their stay, guests will enjoy the following perks:
- A cozy holiday scene with twinkling lights and a perfectly Christmas trimmed tree in celebration of the season.
- Booby traps galore (but don’t worry – you’ll be setting them, not sidestepping them!).
- Surprisingly searing splashes of aftershave and ample opportunity to scream into the mirror.
- All the ‘90s favorites their hearts desire, including plenty of Chicago’s finest pizza and a candlelit dinner of microwavable Kraft Macaroni & Cheese.
- A meet and greet with a real-life tarantula.
- A viewing of the film franchise’s newest holiday adventure, Home Sweet Home Alone.
- A LEGO Ideas Home Alone set to take and build at home.
“We may all be older and wiser now, but we’re never too old for holiday hijinks,” Buzz said. “So this year, spend the holidays not-so-home-alone at my parents’ house.”
‘Tis the season of giving, so in honor of the first-ever stay at the McCallister home, Airbnb will make a one-time donation to Chicago’s La Rabida Children’s Hospital. The institution is dedicated to maintaining and improving the quality of life for each of its patients with complex conditions, disabilities, and chronic illnesses. It’s all for a good cause.
