Iconic Home Alone mansion available for rent on Airbnb for just €22 with plenty of extras

The iconic Home Alone mansion will be available to rent for those looking to live out their Christmas dreams over the holiday season.

The house from the 1990 film will be available to rent for one night only on December 12.

Airbnb has announced the McCallisters' home, located in Chicago, will be available for just $25 (€22).

Up to four guests will be permitted to stay in the legendary home, and its address will only be given once the booking is complete.

The listing on the Airbnb site shows the host as Buzz McCallister. It reads: "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. Just try not to let my tarantula, Axl, loose this time."

During their stay, guests will enjoy a cosy holiday scene with twinkling lights and a perfectly trimmed tree in celebration of the season and the chance to set as many booby traps as they can.

They will also experience the surprisingly searing splashes of aftershave and have ample opportunity to scream into the mirror.

Plenty of Chicago's finest pizza will be on offer, and a candlelit dinner of microwavable Kraft Macaroni and Cheese can be enjoyed.

Guests will also have the pleasure of meeting with a real-life tarantula and watching the film franchise's newest holiday adventure, Home Sweet Home Alone.

They will also be gifted a LEGO Ideas Home Alone set to take and build at home.

Buzz said: "We may all be older and wiser now, but we're never too old for holiday hijinks.

"So this year, spend the holidays not-so-home-alone at my parents' house."

'Tis the season of giving, so in honour of the first-ever stay at the McCallister home, Airbnb will make a one-time donation to 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.

Those hoping to stay in the McCallister home should note that this stay's rules require strict adherence with local Covid-19 guidelines.

Onsite staff will follow applicable local, state and federal guidelines as well as Airbnb's Covid safety practices.
