It’s that time of year again; crisp air, autumn leaves, and the festive haunt of Halloween are just around the corner. With the season comes the sequel to the most beloved Halloween film of all time, Hocus Pocus 2 now streaming on Disney+. But what’s even better than movie magic? Going behind the screen and into the real-life world of the Sanderson Sisters.
Airbnb has once again brought the silver screen to life thanks to its one-of-a-kind bookings of real-life film locations and reproductions. From the iconic Scream house to an unforgettable stay with Scooby Doo’s Matthew Lillard in the gang’s Mystery Machine, Airbnb has been connecting fans to their favorite films in a unique and fun way.
Now you can add the Sanderson Sisters’ cozily creepy Hocus Pocus cottage to your list of destinations! For the first time ever, guests can book a recreation of the Hocus Pocus cottage in Danver, Massachusetts for a night this Halloween season. It’s the perfect getaway for any Hocus Pocus fan!
How do I book the Hocus Pocus cottage?
The Sandersons’ cottage will be available starting October 12 at 1 p.m. ET for a limited time so make haste goblins and ghouls! Bookings are on a first come first serve basis so we recommend setting a phone reminder to make sure you’re one of the first to nab this exclusive $31 one-night stay. But don’t let the affordable fare fool you there will be plenty of magic, fun, and excitement to be had at this memorable location! Guests are responsible for their own travel by means of car, plane, train, or broomstick
What’s included in the stay?
Two lucky guests will be treated with not only the scale replica of the cottage but a witchy itinerary of spooky activities and spell-casting. You can try your hand at some magic and leaf through the pages of Winifred’s spellbook, followed by a tour of Salem, Massachusetts. Sightseeing includes not only film locations from Hocus Pocus 2 but some of Salem’s most haunted locales.
Then after a full day of spell-casting and haunts, you can cozy up with your bestie for a special screening of Hocus Pocus 2 back in the cottage. But who says that the fun has to end there? On top of staying at the iconic cottage, the house is chock full of props and photo opportunities to capture that perfect selfie or TikTok to remember for years to come. But explore the Sandersons’ abode at your own risk! You may even stumble upon “blood of an owl with the herb that’s red” or even hair from Winifred herself.
“We all know that the Sanderson Sisters’ story might not have ended when we turned to dust, nor did our shenanigans,” Kathy Najimy, who plays Mary Sanderson, told Airbnb. “What better way to celebrate the season than to host guests at the trio’s historic haunt for a night they’ll remember for years to come?”
Last, but certainly not least, Airbnb will make a one-time donation to the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Salem to ensure the success of the historic city’s next generation. Be sure to mark your calendars (and phones) for a witchy time and a good cause this Halloween season thanks to Airbnb.
