Ever dreamed of sleeping in the same bed as your favorite movie or TV character? Now you can! Here are 30 real-world locations featured in popular films and shows that you can rent for overnight stays.

Shrek’s Swamp (Shrek)

Who would have thought a swamp would be the ideal spot to spend a night? If you can believe it, Shrek’s swamp is now an Airbnb where you can spend the night in style. Or, more likely, in stylish mud.

For the first time, you can stay in Shrek’s Swamp, the stumpy, secluded haven nestled in the hills of the Scottish Highlands. While booking is closed for a little while, all previous bookings were donated to the HopScotch Children’s Charity, which focuses on providing disadvantaged children with holiday trips. 

Godric’s Hollow House (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1)

If you're a Harry Potter fan looking for a unique and enchanting getaway, look no further than De Vere House in Lavenham, Suffolk. This historic house was used as the exterior of Harry Potter's family home, Godric's Hollow cottage, in the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1.

While you can't stay in the exact cottage that Harry lived in, De Vere House is still a magical place to spend a night or two. The house is full of character, with exposed beams, wood-burning fireplaces, and a charming courtyard garden. For £153 a night ($189), we have seen worse deals to stay where The Chosen One was born.

Temporary Lab (Breaking Bad)

In the hit show Breaking Bad, Walter White and Jesse Pinkman use a tented and fumigated house as a temporary lab for their illicit work. Now, fans of the show can stay in that very house, which is available to rent on Airbnb. Located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, this rental isn’t far from the other spots Breaking Bad filmed at.

The house is listed as “Breaking Bad House 5.3” on Airbnb and sleeps up to 17 people. It has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a pool table, and a barbecue grill with an outdoor patio. Guests can also rent yellow hazmat suits and Vamanos Pest uniforms, just like Walter and Jesse wore in the show.

Marienne’s Family Villa (Normal People)

In Normal People, Connell travels to Marianne’s family villa in Italy for a holiday. The villa is a quintessential Italian farmhouse, close to a quiet rural village with friendly older people, gelato, and unparalleled views. While the series is mainly set in Ireland, episode eight plays out entirely in Italy at the villa.

In the show, the villa is located in Trieste, but in real life, it is located in Sant'Oreste, Lazio, about a 40-minute drive north of Rome, with three bedrooms, bathrooms, and a private garden with a swimming pool. For only €50 a night ($54), you can stay in an Italian paradise alongside hopefully less aggressive guests.

Tony Stark’s Cabin (Avengers: Endgame)

Are you ready to escape to the countryside like Tony Stark did after half the world vanished into thin air? The lakeside cabin where Tony lived with his wife, Pepper Potts, and their daughter, Morgan, is available to rent on Airbnb. However, you won't have to worry about the world's fate during your stay.

The cabin is located in Fairburn, Georgia, about 20 minutes outside Atlanta. Since the news about the recognizable cabin, the rental price surged to $800 a night for three nights minimum of stay. Nonetheless, it's still a steal to stay in such a famous and iconic location.

Barbie’s Malibu Dreamhouse (Barbie)

Barbie-mania took over the world in 2023, so it’s unsurprising that it extended to stay-cations in human-sized Barbie-doll houses. In July, Mattel offered two individuals a chance to spend a night in Barbie’s Malibu Dreamhouse. Two lucky winners were chosen, and we’re all jealous.

The newly renovated mansion, perfectly timed for Barbie’s summer release, features an outdoor disco dancefloor, weightlifting equipment, and cowboy flair. While renting the Dreamhouse is no longer up for grabs, it’s only time before Mattel realizes we would pay a left arm and leg to spend the night there.

Whether you are Team Edward or Team Jacob, you will love this next rental. Bella Swan's house in Forks, Washington, is available to rent on Airbnb. There is only one minor change: the house where they shot the film is in St. Helens, Oregon, but it's only a short drive from Portland.

The house is available for at least two nights, and the cost varies depending on the time of year. Currently, it costs $400 a night; if you have $800 to spare and are a massive fan, we certainly wouldn't put it past you to book. Want to stare out the same window Bella watched the seasons pass by? Here's your chance!

Park Hyatt Hotel (Lost in Translation)

The next entry on our list may be cheating, but Sofia Coppola’s 2003 Lost in Translation captured the minds of those who felt lost in a big, confusing world. Set in a functioning hotel and filmed at night to avoid disturbing guest hours, the film is famous for its beauty and picturesque location.

Given it was a working hotel in 2003, we’re just thankful they kept the operation running because now we can visit this nostalgic spot whenever we have the urge to fly to Tokyo. However, it’s not just the flight that will cost you; a room at the Park Hyatt will cost $1000 a night. Maybe just for one night?

Bridgerton’s Home (Bridgerton)

Bridgerton captured the hearts of just about everyone when it landed on Netflix. Now, you can live like them, too. Located at Inglethorpe Hall in Norfolk, guests can have the entire property, with six bathrooms and nine bedrooms. There's even a formal ball to attend (sadly, the Duke of Hastings won't be present).

However, it will cost a pretty penny. With a minimum of six people sharing, guests must pay £1,750 ($2,170) to stay here. If you're looking for a smaller wedding affair in the style of pre-Victorian and Bridgerton fashion, this could be your place. But, if you're looking for a cheap holiday with the kids, look elsewhere.

It's been the set of numerous photo shoots for Vogue, GQ, and Victoria's Secret, and it's also been featured in HBO TV series Entourage and the Entourage movie. LA Weekly even voted it the "Best Place To Pretend You're a Celebrity For a Day" in 2013.

But it's not just for magazine covers, movies, and TV; any regular old Joe can book their stay at the Villa Sophia and lay next to the pool just like Ari Gold and his wife did during the final episode of Entourage. While they pretended it was coastal Italy, the hotel resides in LA. How's that for Hollywood irony?
