Fans of the Twilight saga can now live out their dreams by staying in the actual house used as Bella Swan’s home in the movies. Located in St. Helens, Oregon, the “Twilight Swan House” is available for rent on Airbnb, offering a unique opportunity to step into the world of vampires and werewolves. Owners Amber and Dean, featured in the documentary The House From…, share their experience of owning a piece of cinematic history.
Stepping into Cinematic History
“It’s surreal knowing that the actors were physically in this house,” Amber explains in the documentary. The thought of Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and the rest of the cast inhabiting the space adds a layer of magic for Twilight enthusiasts. Visitors often share their excitement about specific details, like knowing which toilet Rob Pattinson used, highlighting the personal connection fans feel to the film and its setting.
Amber and Dean initially toured the house out of curiosity, not intending to buy it. However, once they became owners, they felt a sense of responsibility to preserve its legacy. Transforming it into an Airbnb allowed them to share this iconic location with fellow fans, allowing others to experience the magic of the movie firsthand.
Curating a Museum, One Guest at a Time
Maintaining the house and managing the Airbnb rentals is a unique undertaking. “It’s like curating a museum,” Dean explains. They strive to preserve the house’s authenticity, making it feel as if Bella Swan could walk through the door at any moment. The house becomes more than just a rental property; it’s a living testament to the film’s enduring popularity.
One of the most popular rooms is, unsurprisingly, Bella’s bedroom. Dean jokingly notes that “this room is never empty,” with couples often requesting to stay in the space where so many pivotal scenes were filmed. The owners have even encountered evidence of fans’ enthusiasm, with one cleaner reporting a mysterious “butt print” on Bella’s desk – a testament to the lengths fans will go to recreate iconic moments from the film.
Keeping the Twilight Spirit Alive
Amber and Dean understand the enduring appeal of the Twilight universe and the desire for the story to continue. The house provides a tangible connection to the beloved series, allowing fans to immerse themselves in its world. For many, the Twilight Swan House represents a continuation of the story, a piece of the magic that will live on forever. “People want more,” Amber observes, and this house offers a unique way to experience the world of Twilight in a tangible and meaningful way.
The documentary The House From…, featuring Amber and Dean and their experience with the Twilight Swan House, is available on Ryan Reynolds’ Maximum Effort Channel on Fubo and other TVOD platforms.
