This summer, you might be considering a staycation in Los Angeles, soaking up the local sun. However, Airbnb has just rolled out what might be its most magical offering yet—an overnight stay in the world of Pixar’s beloved film, “Up.”
This summer, guests can channel their inner Carl Fredricksen and float away (according to the Airbnb listing, you quite literally can float) in a balloon-lifted house nestled in the serene Abiquiu, New Mexico.
Dubbed “Icons” by Airbnb, this new category features extraordinary stays, and the “Up” house is one of the main highlights of their recent announcement. Hosted by the fictional character Carl Fredricksen, a retired balloon salesman turned Airbnb host, the house has 8,000 balloons floating from the top of it.
The experience, in honor of the 15th anniversary of “Up,” offers more than just an incredible place to sleep. Upon arrival, guests turn into Junior Wilderness Explorers and embark on mini-adventures designed to earn their explorer badges. Whether you’re a “Daydreamer” creating your Adventure Book or a “Stargazer” marveling at the night sky, each activity is inspired by the spirit of Carl’s late wife, Ellie.
The interior of the house reflects the beloved home of Carl and Ellie in the movie, filled with memorabilia from their travels. This experience looks to feature a cozy setup, with enough space to accommodate four guests, featuring one bedroom, two beds, and a bathroom.
For those seeking tranquility, Abiquiu provides the ideal backdrop. The experience promises peace, quiet, and a sprinkle of movie magic, set against the tranquil and expansive landscape of New Mexico.
You can now request your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stay in the “Up” house. Availability is limited to a select few nights, so make sure to submit your request before the booking window closes at 11:59 PM PT on May 13, 2024. So, pack your bags and prepare for an uplifting experience that could very well take you to Paradise Falls (if it was in New Mexico).
