The house from the first Home Alone movie is on Airbnb — but it’s only available for one night.
In the 1990 movie, 8-year-old Kevin McCallister is accidentally left home alone when his family goes to Paris for Christmas.

Kevin enjoys having the huge family home to himself, until burglars try to break in and he has to think of creative ways to stop them. Now up to four guests will be able to stay in the house on December 12 — and it will only cost them about $25.

But when they’re there, they can enjoy things such as making booby traps, seeing a real tarantula, and eating pizza and macaroni and cheese, just like Kevin did in the movie. The house will be decorated for Christmas too.

The Airbnb host is even writing as if he were Buzz McCallister, Kevin’s older brother in the film. He wrote on the Airbnb website that he’s inviting one group of people to enjoy the home while his “family” is away for the holidays — and this time, they haven’t left anyone behind.
