Famous Movie Sets That Were Converted Into Airbnbs And Can Be Booked For Vacations

Production staff can go either way when creating sets for films and shows. They can either build a whole set or rent a place until everything is done and packed up.

There are advantages to both approaches. With sets built inside studios, they can control most elements and customize them as they wish.

The downside is the amount of time and money that goes into building the whole thing. It might not be a worthwhile investment, especially if they won’t use it for long.

The other option is renting a place that fits the description of the writers’ or directors’ vision. They would only need to tweak it here and there to make it fit whatever story they’re trying to tell.

These locations can sometimes turn into iconic tourist spots, even long after filming has taken place. Some owners even take it a step further and rent them out to those who want to live out their dream of being immersed in the story.

You’ll see these places listed in Airbnb ads and might be interested in discovering how much movie magic was put into them, and how different they are now that there are no lights, cameras, and someone yelling 'action' vacating the place.
