Why stay in a boring hotel room when you can rent a 70s/80s horror themed Airbnb? It has everything you want: privacy, a comfy bed, and an atmosphere filled with so many horror movie easter eggs you could make it a drinking game.
This “cabin” is also equipped with some unique amenities activated by the push of a button:
“You may see & hear some strange goings-on as if the place is haunted by ghosts!
Elaborate special effects have been installed in the main living area of the cabin that flicker the lights, turn static on the vintage TV, & play ghostly sound effects! These effects activate randomly during your stay but can be turned off and on whenever you’d like with a single switch in the hallway.”
We aren’t sponsored of affiliated with the hosts of this retreat or Airbnb, but we thought you might like to learn about it for your next family vacation.
It also comes with a backstory mystery you can solve during your stay:
“The cabin’s previous owner was actually our estranged Aunt Gladys. We haven’t seen her since we were kids but always remember her being a little kooky.
We didn’t know much about her, her life was shrouded in mystery and the occult. Rumors of her involvement in witchcraft and séances even began to spread among the Big Bear locals.
Aunt Gladys inherited this cabin in 1972. She decorated it to reflect the times and her unusual taste for the macabre.
She lived there with her son, Zachary; they were extremely close. Zachary was a massive horror fan, filling the bedroom with his collection of vintage movie posters, collectibles, and props.
Gladys and Zachary lived together happily in this very cabin for many years until one night when they seemingly just disappeared!
Nobody really knows what happened but neighbors reported witnessing strange lights, weird noises, and shadows moving through the woods that night. When dawn broke, our aunt and her son were nowhere to be found!
As their closest relatives, we inherited the cabin. We cleaned it up a bit but had trouble unlocking one of Gladys’ cabinets. We invite you give it a try but you’ll need to figure out the code word to open the lock. Gladys left some sort of puzzle with a clue to open the lock. Inside that cabinet has to be the answer to what happened to her and Zachary that night!”
