Nestled in the quiet suburb of Winnetka, Illinois, the iconic Home Alone house has opened its doors to overnight guests, offering a once-in-a-lifetime chance to relive the magic of the beloved holiday classic.
Available for rent on Airbnb, this red-brick Georgian colonial is more than just a movie set!
It’s a time machine back to the early 90s, complete with holiday cheer, iconic decor, and enough nostalgia to make any fan feel like a kid again!
1. A Warm Welcome
From the moment guests step onto the driveway, it’s clear that this isn’t your typical Airbnb.
The house looks just as it did in the movie: classic yet inviting and decked out in festive Christmas lights that twinkle against the snowy Midwestern backdrop.
Inside, the atmosphere is a seamless blend of cozy family living and cinematic history.
The entryway, with its grand staircase and rich wallpaper, is an immediate reminder of Kevin McCallister’s many misadventures.
The house’s layout has been meticulously preserved to resemble its movie counterpart, down to the smallest details.
From the hardwood floors to the vintage light fixtures, everything feels as though it’s been frozen in time as if the McCallister family could walk through the door at any moment.
Enjoy a complete Kevin Christmas by eating junk food, watching TV, shaving with their dad’s kit, and choosing your own adventure by picking out a legendary plan from a guide!
2. Little Nero’s Pizza, Anyone?
In the dining room, the table is set with holiday china, ready for a meal that comes with the booking: piping-hot pizzas and microwavable Kraft Mac and Cheese!
Guests can dig into classic cheese slices or more adventurous toppings, depending on their preferences.
When you’re ready to take a break and relax, sit down and enjoy the franchise’s newest holiday adventure ‘Home Sweet Home Alone‘!
3. The Rooms
Each room of the house offers something unique, blending familiar decor from the movie with modern-day comforts.
The family room, with its cozy fireplace and plush sofas, is the perfect spot to relax with a blanket and rewatch Home Alone.
Upstairs, the bedrooms are delightfully immersive. The master suite boasts an elegant four-poster bed and festive bedding.
Buzz’s room is, unsurprisingly, a favorite among guests, off limits, but that may be a good thing since his tarantula is still there!
4. Holiday Magic
What sets this Airbnb apart isn’t just its ties to a classic movie—it’s the holiday spirit that seems to fill every corner of the house.
Twinkling lights and garlands line the staircase banister, while stockings hang above the fireplace. Christmas music plays softly in the background, and every window boasts a view of snow-dusted trees.
The outdoor space even includes the famous treehouse, which has been restored and adorned with string lights for a cozy evening hangout spot.
5. A Perfect Holiday Getaway
For fans of Home Alone, staying in this Airbnb is more than just a night away from home—it’s a chance to step into one of the most beloved holiday movies of all time.
Whether you’re enjoying pizza in the kitchen or just soaking in the festive ambiance, the Home Alone house is a magical, nostalgic retreat that promises an unforgettable holiday experience.
Since it’s the season of giving, in honor of the house’s first Christmas on AirBnB, they will be making a one-time donation to Chicago’s La Rabida Children’s Hospital!
Along with that, a member of the McCallister Security team will be at your beck and call, to ensure no robbers try to invade the home!
Plus you’ll be gifted with a LEGO Ideas Home Alone set to take back home to remind you of this unforgettable stay!
