'Twilight' Fans, Bella Swan's House Is Bookable on Airbnb
It's 2008, you're wearing your favorite pair of straight-leg jeans, a bowling T-shirt, and distressed sneakers. It's your first day of school in Forks, Washington, and you already have plenty of new friends. The one thing you can't figure out is why that boy in science class despises you on sight. Such is the life of Bella Swan, one that fans all over the world are eager to relive in any way possible.
Thanks to Netflix's recent re-addition of all five of the Twilight Saga films, you can now engage in one of life's greatest pastimes: rewatching the series from start to finish. And while you can't actually step into Bella Swan's shoes and live out a nostalgic 2000s high-school romance yourself, you can step into her home and rent it for a few nights on Airbnb. With decor that was pulled straight from the movie, including Bella's vintage headboard and footboard, her purple floral bedspread (which has been retired from use due to its fragility, but is still available on display inside), and wall art, you'll feel like you stepped right on screen with the cast. Walk the same driveway where Bella's red pickup truck was parked (but watch for ice), gaze out the windows to the front and backyard for your New Moon moment post-Edward's disappearance, or have a bite to eat in the colorful green kitchen.

Inside, it's much larger than expected based on the film, with five bedrooms, a good-sized kitchen—where you can dine at the same table used in the film by Bella's dad, Charlie—and plenty of space for up to eight guests. While Bella's iconic bedroom features the second smallest bed (a double), you'll likely fight for who gets to stay in it anyway. The other bedrooms include the Jacob-themed room on the first floor (with a queen bed and a cutout of him) and a room overlooking the front yard (which is the very same one where Bella spots Edward's car parked in the driveway).
The house is technically located in St. Helens, Oregon, about 230 miles south of Forks, Washington, and 30 miles north of Portland, Oregon, so it's a great stopping point on a Twilight-themed road trip up the Pacific Coast. St. Helens is not quite as rainy as Forks, and also experiences slightly warmer temperatures, which makes it ideal for exploring the area without fear of weather causing any issues. With close proximity to Vancouver, Washington, and the Columbia River Gorge, there's plenty to do even outside of Twilight-themed activities if you so choose. The area is ideal for those who enjoy spending time outdoors hiking and exploring national and state parks.
Reservations for this iconic spot are extremely hard to come by—right now, it's booked up indefinitely—so your best bet is to check back in on the listing periodically to see if any available dates crop up. There is usually a two-night stay minimum; however, in rare cases, the property is open for one-night stays, so keep your eyes peeled.

Tonys 2025 Live Updates: Cole Escola Wins for ‘Oh, Mary!' and ‘Purpose' Is Named Best Play
The cast of 'Hamilton' on Sunday returned to the room where it happened, at least metaphorically. To mark the 10th anniversary of the show's opening, 28 members of the original cast — the show's creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda, along with the other stars, ensemble members, swings and standbys — gathered onstage at Radio City Music Hall and performed a medley of some of the musical's biggest songs: 'Non-Stop,' 'My Shot,' 'The Schuyler Sisters,' 'Guns and Ships,' 'You'll Be Back,' 'Yorktown,' 'The Room Where It Happens' and 'History Has Its Eyes on You.' They dressed not in the show's period costumes, but in an array of high-fashion evening wear — all black with a few character-driven accents (Lafayette got a Frenchman's beret; Burr a dueler's cape; and King George the one splash of color: royal red). They didn't say a word, but Cynthia Erivo, this year's Tony Awards host and in 2016 the only musical performer to win a Tony for any show other than 'Hamilton,' hailed the production. 'Hamilton reinvigorated the American theater and changed not just Broadway, but how Americans views their own history,' Erivo said, before adding wryly, 'or so I'm told.' 'Hamilton' opened on Broadway on Aug. 6, 2015. The following spring, it was nominated for a record 16 Tony Awards, and then, in a Tonys ceremony at the Beacon Theater, it won 11 prizes, including best musical. (The event was memorable for many reasons — among them, it took place hours after the deadly Pulse nightclub shooting in Florida, which led the 'Hamilton' cast to drop the use of muskets in its production number, and prompted Miranda to give his 'love is love' acceptance speech.) The show quickly became the biggest phenomenon Broadway had seen in quite some time, and in the decade since, it has only gotten bigger, spinning off touring companies, streaming a live-capture film on Disney+, grossing about $3 billion in North America, and still going strong. The production has been celebrating the anniversary for months, calling it 'Hamilten.' (Ten is a special number in the 'Hamilton' universe, because Alexander Hamilton is featured on the $10 bill.) The Sunday night reunion performance was designed by the quartet often described as the 'Hamilton' cabinet: the director Thomas Kail, the choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler, the music director Alex Lacamoire, and Miranda. Given the passage of time, Blankenbuehler relaxed some of the dance steps. Among those who took part in the performance were the show's Tony-winning cast members, Leslie Odom Jr. (Aaron Burr), Daveed Diggs (Marquis de Lafayette/Thomas Jefferson) and Renée Elise Goldsberry (Angelica Schuyler), as well as Miranda (Alexander Hamilton), who won Tony Awards for writing the show's book and score. Also, the show's other Tony-nominated performers: Jonathan Groff (King George), Christopher Jackson (George Washington) and Phillipa Soo (Eliza Hamilton). Even the ensemble was stacked: It included Ariana DeBose, who was a member of the original 'Hamilton' company, and who then went on to win an Academy Award for 'West Side Story' and to host the Tony Awards three times. Several of the show's alumni are back on Broadway this year. Groff is starring in a Bobby Darin biomusical, 'Just in Time,' that opened in April and is selling tickets through January. The actor was nominated for a Tony Award for his performance in 'Just in Time,' and won a Tony Award last year for 'Merrily We Roll Along.' Jackson last week began a run as the protagonist's father in 'Hell's Kitchen,' the Alicia Keys musical. And Odom is planning to rejoin 'Hamilton' on Broadway later this year, reprising his performance as Burr from Sept. 9 to Nov. 26. Miranda and Goldsberry both had brief stints on Broadway during the season that just ended, performing staged readings as part of the rotating cast of 'All In: Comedy About Love.' And Miranda is now working with Eisa Davis on a musical adaptation of the film 'The Warriors"; a concept album (called simply 'Warriors') was released last year.

Cole Escola Wins the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play
Cole Escola won the Tony for best actor in a play for their performance in the outlandish, ahistoric comedy 'Oh, Mary!' This is Escola's Broadway debut, and first Tony. Escola, who is nonbinary, plays a self-indulgent, scheming Mary Todd Lincoln, who aspires to become a chanteuse. As a result, her boredom — which includes pining to perform her 'madcap medleys' of yesteryear — drives her to all kinds of antics. (With Cole prancing around in a hoop skirt, hilarity ensues.) The New York Times chief theater critic, Jesse Green, called 'Oh, Mary!,' which Escola also wrote, 'one of the best crafted and most exactingly directed Broadway comedies in years.' Directed by Sam Pinkleton, the show opened at the Lyceum Theater last summer after a sold-out and twice-extended Off Broadway run. The play has also been extended multiple times since it transferred to Broadway. (It was the first show in the Lyceum's 121-year history to gross more than $1 million in a single week.) Escola, known for their roles in Hulu's 'Difficult People,' TBS's 'Search Party' and sketches on YouTube, came up through New York's cabaret and alt comedy scenes. The premise for 'Oh, Mary!' began with an idea, which Escola sat on for more than 12 years: 'What if Abraham Lincoln's assassination wasn't such a bad thing for Mary Todd?' The Tony Awards, like the Oscars, use gendered categories for performers, and Escola agreed to be considered eligible for an award as an actor. Escola isn't the first nonbinary actor to win a Tony Award. In 2023, J. Harrison Ghee became the first out nonbinary performer to win a Tony for best leading actor in a musical, for 'Some Like It Hot,' and Alex Newell became the first out nonbinary performer to win for best featured actor in a musical for 'Shucked.'

The original cast of ‘Hamilton' reunites on the Tonys stage with rousing performance
The original cast of the Tony-winning musical 'Hamilton' reunited on Sunday for a lively performance on the award show's stage. Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ariana DeBose, Leslie Odom Jr., Daveed Diggs, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Jonathan Groff and many more members of the flagship Broadway cast appeared during the performance, which honored the beloved production's 10th anniversary. Miranda and Odom Jr. opened the performance with 'Non-Stop' and 'My Shot' before the rest of ensemble joined in to perform selections from songs like 'The Schuyler Sisters,' 'Guns and Ships' and 'You'll be Back.' The cast also performed 'Yorktown,' 'The Room Where it Happens' and ended with 'Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story.' The cast donned all-black tuxedos and gowns instead of the musical's original costumes and earned a rousing standing ovation from the audience, which included a visibly excited Oprah Winfrey, Ben Stiller and more. The performance celebrated the legacy that 'Hamilton' has left over these past ten years after its 2015 Broadway debut. The last time the original cast performed together was during their final curtain call in July 2016. 'Hamilton' made history at the 2016 Tony Awards when it earned a record-breaking 16 nominations and took home 11 statues, including best musical. It also won a Grammy in 2016 for best musical theater album, and has won an Olivier Award, a Pulitzer Prize for Drama and was awarded a special Kennedy Center honor in 2018. Prev Next
