Airbnb just announced a handful of exciting new stays ahead of the summer.

During a special event in Los Angeles on May 1, the company revealed their new “Icons” slate, a category of extraordinary experiences that includes pop culture moments brought to life. Among the experiences are nights hosted by celebrities like Kevin Hart and Doja Cat, and a stay in a re-creation of the Disney and Pixar’s “Up” house that will be suspended in the sky after guests depart.

Located in Abiquiu, New Mexico, guests will feel like they are stepping inside the movie. Airbnb built the house from scratch and painted the home to match the exact Pantone colors used in the film.

Brian Chesky, Airbnb co-founder and CEO, elaborated at the event that every room was custom created to feel like guests were inside with Carl and Ellie.

Guests will find Carl's chairlift, the green helium tank, his and his late wife's chairs, as well as a dog bed for Dug — or other fur guests.

They also re-created the “Adventure Book” that Ellie made in the movie.

“No detail in this house went unnoticed,” Chesky said.

The best part, he told people, “just like in the movie, this house goes up.”

It is a “40,000 pound house with 8,000 balloons attached to it and it’s suspended 50 feet above the ground and starting today, you can book it on Airbnb,” he said.

When potential guests select dates in the Airbnb app, they'll be asked to submit a written entry as to why they want to book it.

“We expect to get a lot of requests. We’re going to choose guests based on what they write,” said Chesky. “We’ll contact everyone who’s selected a few days before the booking window.”

The lucky guests who are selected will also receive a digital golden ticket, and more than 4,000 tickets will be available in 2024. The booking windows and costs vary per Icon experience, but most are free or priced under $100 per guest.

New experiences will drop around the world throughout the year.

Additionally, guests will “get to listen to unreleased tracks from Prince’s collection that have never been heard before,” per Chesky.
