Thanks to Airbnb, Twilight Fans Can Now Stay in Bella Swan's House

Movie buffs the world over have been known to embark on dedicated pilgrimages to sacred films sites, from the firehouse in Ghostbusters and the house from Home Alone to the Overlook Hotel featured in The Shining. But in terms of more recent film history, few movie locations have garnered as much attention as the home of Twilight‘s Bella Swan. The vampire-human-werewolf teen love triangle took over popular culture back in 2008 and continues to bring in new fans to Stephanie Meyer’s book series. So when the “Twilight Swan House” (as it’s referred to) went on sale in 2018, Amber and Dean Neufeld snapped it up and quickly turned it into a rental property on Airbnb. Not surprisingly, Twilight fans have since pounced on the opportunity to sleep in the same room where Edward once secretly visited Bella. Intrigued? You’d better book now before the world’s Twihards snap up all availability for their next vacation.

Swan House

Although the Twilight series was set in Washington, the entire film franchise was actually shot just outside Portland. Situated in a quiet neighbourhood in downtown St. Helens, this 1930s home is referred to as the “Twilight Swan House” by devoted fans of Stephanie Meyer’s vampire romance. For $434 CAD per night (it can sleep up to 10 guests!), you can recreate all your favourite scenes from the films.

The brick fireplace steals the show in the spacious living room. The new owners kept much of the house the same in the hopes of garnering interest from the legion of teen fans who made the franchise a $2.5 billion international box office blockbuster.

You Might Need to Sit Down for This

If the decor choices seem eerily reminiscent of the films that’s because both the former owner and the current ones have kept many of the choices made by the Twilight set designers, essentially gifting all their renters with the opportunity to truly experience a piece of film history.
