The ultimate 90's holiday movie is moving from reel life to real life.
This December, the original house from Home Alone is available to book for a one-night stay through Airbnb, if you're lucky.
That's right, the house where Kevin McCallister spent one significant Christmas (while the rest of the family jetted off to Paris), will be the home of one lucky group of people who manage to book the famous locale, based in Winnetka, Illinois just north of downtown Chicago. An added bonus is that you'll be hosted by Kevin's big brother Buzz, otherwise known as actor Devin Ratray.

The home features some carefully-curated moments and details from the iconic movie, which will be instantly recognizable for diehard Home Alone fans. This includes actual booby traps (that guests will set up themselves) for potential intruders, '90s junk food (presumably to inhale while watching rubbish), Kevin's ostentatious green robe to wear, and Buzz's pet tarantula.
It's all a clever bit of promo for both Airbnb and the latest instalment of the Home Alone film franchise, Home Sweet Home Alone, which guests can watch in the house (you might have to watch this in place of Angels with Filthy Souls).
You guys give up? Or are you thirsty for more? From the nostalgia-inducing photographs of the house, it seems very clearly decked out in time for Christmas, with an array of stockings, a fully-decorated tree, and a dining table set up for a candlelit, highly nutritious, microwavable macaroni and cheese dinner — although it must be said, the McAllisters seemingly decorated their house for the season permanently, with all those reds and greens in the wallpaper and carpet.
You might have to BYO aftershave if you're looking to recreate certain mirror moments, it's not clear whether you'll be able to order cheese pizza from nearby, and hopefully no one...actually tries to break in?

Alongside this event, Airbnb will be making a one-time donation to Chicago’s La Rabida Children’s Hospital, dedicated to improving and sustaining the lives of patients with chronic illnesses, disabilities, and complex conditions.
Potential guests can request to book this stay beginning Tuesday, Dec. 7 at 1 p.m. CT at airbnb.com/homealone — yes, it's seemingly the luck of the draw who gets to stay here. The house will be available on Dec. 12.

ReplyDeleteThis event gonna be epic !
ReplyDeleteBird Lady : The man I loved fell out of love with me. That broke my heart. When the chance to be loved came along again, I ran away from it. I stopped trusting people.
ReplyDeleteKevin McCallister : No offense, but that seems like sort of a dumb thing to do.
Bird Lady : I was afraid of getting my heart broken again. Sometimes you can trust a person, and then, when things are down, they forget about you.
Kevin McCallister : Maybe they're just too busy. Maybe they don't forget about you, but they forget to remember you. People don't mean to forget. My grandfather says if my head wasn't screwed on, I'd leave it on the school bus.
Bird Lady : I'm just afraid if I do trust someone, I'll get my heart broken.
Kevin McCallister : I understand. I had a nice pair of rollerblades. I was afraid to wreck them, so I kept them in a box. Do you know what happened? I outgrew them. I never wore them outside. Only in my room a few times.
Bird Lady : A person's heart and feelings are very different than skates.
Beautiful scene !
