Airbnb has recreated the house from Pixar’s Up to celebrate its 15-year anniversary.

The house floats (with the help of a crane) and it’s connected to 8,000 balloons. The host is the character Carl Fredricksen who says he doesn’t always like visitors, but it’s nice to have them now that it’s just him and his talking dog, Dug.

Guests will be able to go on a wilderness adventure to earn explorer badges.

The house is in Abiquiu, New Mexico and they are choosing select guests to stay for free.

Airbnb has announced a new category of outlandish stays in partnership with different brands and celebrities that will roll out in the coming months.
