You can book Bella Swan's ‘Twilight' house on Airbnb — but there's an annoying catch
Here's a rental you can really sink your teeth into. The home of the iconic 'Twilight' heroine Bella Swan is bookable on the vacation rental website Airbnb. The exterior and interior of the whitewashed 1930s home in St. Helens, Oregon, served as the residence of shy high-schooler Bella Swan throughout the iconic 'Twilight' saga. The four-film franchise launched the careers of Kristen Stewart as Bella and Robert Pattinson as the 104-year-old vampire Edward Cullen. 10 The iconic home resides in a quiet neighborhood in St. Helens, Oregon. Airbnb 10 The 1930s abode featured heavily in the film, often alongside Bella's red pick-up truck. Summit Entertainment 10 The 'Twilight' films launched the careers of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart (above). ANDREW COOPER The five-bedroom home, dubbed the 'Twilight Swan House,' can accommodate up to eight guests, according to the listing. The popular getaway has amassed 580 reviews and an impressive 4.99-star rating. 'My family and I spent Christmas there and it will be the most memorable Christmas ever!' wrote one former guest. 'Our 3rd stay at the Twilight Swan House, and it's just like the first and second time. Perfect,' share another. It's clear that the rental's runaway popularity isn't because of the nearby historic riverfront, nor its convenient proximity to Portland. The home's owner appears to have put their heart and soul into making the rental a dream come true for 'Twilight' diehards. 10 The kitchen features green cabinets and the original table seen in several 'Twilight' scenes.

Guests can enjoy dinner at Charlie Swan's actual dining table, where he cocked his shotgun before meeting his daughter's vampiric date. They can sleep in Bella's moody teenage bedroom, where Edward spent long, creepy nights watching her sleep. The listing photos boast movie-accurate purple floral bedding and even recreations of wall art just barely glimpsed in background shots of the film. 10 The Airbnb's most eye-catching room is Bella's bedroom, featuring the character's familiar purple bedding.

Airbnb 10 The 'Jacob Black guest room' is located downstairs and includes a cutout of actor Taylor Lautner in character. Airbnb Upstairs, a 'lookout' room window overlooks the front yard — the same window through which Bella spied Edward parked with his shiny silver Volvo. The rental even caters to members of 'Team Jacob.' A downstairs bedroom, dubbed the 'Jacob Black guest room,' featuring a cardboard cutout of 'New Moon'-era Jacob, played by Taylor Lautner. Unfortunately for all of the 'Twihards' out there, the rental comes with a huge catch. The ''Twilight Swan House' appears to be booked out on Airbnb until April 2027.

'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. The exterior of the Twilight house The Swan's green kitchen featuring a dining table used in the films 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.
