Airbnb has launched the ultimate adventure for movie fans, including the chance to stay in Pixar’s UP house suspended in the air by balloons.
On Wednesday, the short-term rental company announced its new ‘Icons’ Collection which features stunning homes inspired by movies.
‘Icons allow you to enter worlds you have only dreamed of. Let yourself go at the Up house. Spend the night at the Ferrari Museum. Hang out with Kevin Hart,” the company said.
The house is being hoisted using balloons and a crane that allows the occupants to hang in the air during their stay.
In addition to the iconic balloon-roof house, the company has also created a Purple Rain house inspired by Prince and an ‘X-Mansion’ inspired by Marvel’s X-Men series.
Airbnb has launched the ultimate adventure with a stunning house inspired by the Disney movie UP, where guests can remain suspended in the sky thanks to a huge crane.
The UP House is located in Abiquiu, New Mexico, and is hosted by none other than Carl Fredrickson.
UP’s Fredrickson listed his quaint home that fits four guests while suspended in the air.
“I don’t always like visitors, but I guess it’s really nice to have them now that it’s just me and Dug,” Fredrickson said. “So, stay in my cozy house that I made with my dear Ellie.”
He said each guest will start as ‘Junior Wilderness Explorers,’ like Russell from the 2009 film.
As the stay progresses, Fredrickson said each guest will be able to go on ‘mini adventures’ and collect badges along the way.
He has also asked his chosen guests to tidy up the house, including tasks like “collecting the mail” and “taking care of the house.”
Your home also features a fun activity that allows guests to create their own adventure book, right from the movie.
Fredrickson added that chosen guests can also enjoy picnics on the lawn, gaze at the “night sky” like Ellie loved to do, and enjoy her favorite breakfast: bran flakes.
According to the listing, Airbnb purchased Carl and Ellie’s home to celebrate the film’s 15th anniversary. Applications to reserve the house close on May 13.
“Ellie was the ultimate adventurer, so you have big shoes to fill,” Fredrickson said.
The prospect of living in the house left people divided on social media, with some loving the idea and others fearing for their safety.
“Airbnb is the next Disney,” said one online commenter.
“You’re not going to pay me to stay in this place,” wrote another.
