The ‘Home Alone’ house is available to book on Airbnb
This holiday season, movie buffs are getting a chance to stay overnight at the original house from the 1990 Christmas movie Home Alone.
Airbnb announced Wednesday (Dec. 1) that four fans are getting the chance to stay at the Chicago-based home this December, with Kevin McCallister’s older brother Buzz (played by Devin Ratray in the franchise) serving as the host.
“You may not remember me as particularly accommodating, but I’ve grown up, and I’d be happy to share my family home—my pizza, even—with you this holiday season,” Buzz states in the Airbnb listing. “Just try not to let my tarantula, Axl, loose this time.”

It comes complete with twinkling lights, a perfectly trimmed tree, “booby traps galore,” a ’90s-themed assortment of food, the opportunity to spend quality time with a tarantula, and everything you’d need to unleash your inner eight-year-old.

Staycation guests can also enjoy watching the film franchise’s newest holiday adventure, Home Sweet Home Alone, currently streaming on Disney Plus.
Lucky guests will also be gifted with a LEGO Ideas Home Alone set that they can take and build at home, according to the listing.
