The home has one bedroom and two beds that can accommodate four guests. One-night stays are available between June 22 and July 8\. Each guest requesting to stay must write why they want to and “share a response that shows a unique perspective and your connection to the icon.” Requests to book close at 11.59 p.m. Pacific Time on May 13\. > [](https://twitter.com/richontech/status/1785784113540284444) The pictures from the Airbnb posting show the home, with a mass of balloons affixed to its top, suspended by a crane. An Airbnb spokesperson tells TIME by email that guests will be able to watch the house fly away from the ground outside, so they won't be in it while it's suspended. The posting is written as though the film’s main character Carl Fredricksen will be your host and invites guests to arrive as “Junior Wilderness Explorers” and undertake mini adventures, such as creating an adventure book, picnicking on the lawn, and stargazing to earn badges.
