Beginning at 1 p.m. CT, Home Alone fanatics can request on Airbnb’s website to book the one-night-only stay.
According to the listing, this is not a contest, and guests are responsible for their own travel to Chicago, and to the house (just make sure you don’t accidentally count Mitch Murphy in the airport shuttle).
Up to four people can stay in the house, meaning guests don’t actually have to Home Alone alone, and Airbnb has pledged a donation to the local La Rabida Children’s Hospital to mark the property’s first rental.
Just try not to let my tarantula, Axl, loose this time.” It is not clear who owns the house, or how exactly it made its way to Airbnb.
The family who owned the property at the time of filming sold it to the current owners in 2012 for $1.5 million, according to the Chicago Tribune.
For one night only you can enjoy an immersive Home Alone experience with Buzz McCallister greeting you.
The Airbnb ad for the house is up on the website now, sharing preview images of what the house looks like today, and giving a nod to all of the Home Alone references hidden inside.
Buzz — also known as actor Devin Ratray, who is now 44 — is hosting the booking, which will see the home open its doors on Dec. 12. Airbnb said it will make a one-time donation that will benefit Chicago’s La Rabida Children’s Hospital.
While the home was used for outside shots, the interior scenes were filmed on a set in a gym at an abandoned high school.
A couple named John and Cynthia Abendshien owned the home when filming began in 1990, but they sold in 2011 for a reported $1.585 million.
Home Alone, which was filmed in 1990, just one year after the previous owners took over the property. At the time of the film’s release, the home had an estimated value of about $900,000, an exorbitant sum for the beginning of the 1990s

During the events of the second film, it is revealed to be still under Rob’s ownership, but undergoing renovations.
The address given in the movie is 51 West 95th Street. While 51 West 95th Street does exist in real-life, the actual filming location was Brownstone Street on the Universal Studios backlot in Los Angeles.
