Teen vampire nostalgia!
You can now rent Charlie and Bella Swan’s Pacific Northwestern home from the beloved Twilight movies throughAirbnb.
The teenage super-fan’s dream rental is a five-bedroom two-bathroom lodge and is just as charming as it was in the movies — and yes, the green kitchen cabinets are still intact!
Aside from fighting to keep his love safe, the vampire also later finds himself locked in a battle for Bella’s heart when a new werewolf, Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), arrives on the scene.
It’s a fantasy storyline that captivated millions around the world — the franchise earned a total of $2.5 billion at the box office,according to Forbes— and now, you can relive it.
Airbnb
The Airbnb rental (which is actually located in Saint Helens, Oregan, not Forks, Washington) is the scene of so many iconicTwilightmoments, including whenEdward and Bella got hot and heavyfor the very first time and where Edward watched Bella sleep in the middle of the night.
Priced at $330 a night, the 1930’s abode is a short drive from Portland and within walking distance of Oregon’s Columbia River. It fits 10 guests comfortably and requires a minimum of a two-day rental, according to the listing.
The seemingly popular place (which features a simple white facade and a vintage interior) has 21 mostly positive reviews and a perfect five-star rating on Airbnb.
“Our experience in this place was amazing, to be able to spend two nights where the twilight movie was filmed was a dream come true!” one reviewer wrote.
Another said: “If you are a die-hard Twilight fan, then staying at the Swan House is a must (top of your bucket list)! It was so surreal, amazing and awesome!”
“If you’re a fan, this place is the one spot that a movie fan can directly connect with an actual physical part of the movie,” Dean Koenig, who owned the home for nearly 16 years, said at the time.
“Actors age. They change. They take on different roles. This house will always be as you saw it in the movie. So when people come here they actually can connect to that world and that world becomes a little more real to them.”

“The character of the place almost takes on a new identity after something like that,” Koenig said. “You go from this house that looks one way and presents itself one way to a house that’s now presenting itself to the world — that people are showing up to visit. It becomes a slightly better place, a little more enhanced.”
