Production staff can go either way when they create sets for the films and shows. It’s either they create a whole set or rent out a place until everything’s done and packed up.

There are advantages to both. With sets built inside studios, they can control most elements and customize them the way they want to. 

The downside with that is the amount of time and money that would go into building the whole thing. It might not be an investment that would be worth it, especially if they wouldn’t use it that long.

The other option would be renting out a place that fits the description of the writers’ or directors’ vision. They would only have to tweak it here and there to make it fit whatever story they’re trying to make.

These places would sometimes turn into iconic tourist spots even when a long time has passed since the filming took place. Some owners even take it up a notch and rent it out to those who want to live out their dream of being immersed in the story.

You’d see these places listed out in Airbnb ads and might be interested in seeing how much movie magic was put into them. And how different they are now that there are no lights, cameras, and someone who yells action vacating the place.

The Swan House from Twilight is a home built in the 1930s and is located in Oregon. Fans of the movie graciously sent the current owners items that would fit in recreating the rooms from the movie.

Ever wondered how baby Harry lived? The De Vere House is a perfect place to rent and get a glimpse of the lives of the Potter family.

Although the mansion from Big Little Lies takes place in Monterey, California, Reese’s mansion can be found in Malibu. You can rent the whole mansion for $3000-$5000

If you’re a big Marvel fan and would also like a good weekend away from the bustle of the city, Iron Man’s cabin might be the right place for you. For $800 it can house up to six people.

Go big and rent a whole island! This island where the Blue Lagoon was shot, houses numerous villas and private beaches. The list of activities you can do would make sure you wouldn’t be too bored.

A great place that is filled with photo ops is Marie Laveau’s Cornrow City Salon. The place is vintage which makes it more charming. You can rent the place or a bedroom in it for a minim stay of three days.

Mountain Lake Lodge can fulfill your Dirty Dancing fantasy as it does not only offer lodging but also dance lessons.

Built-in 2005, the Tokyo loft apartment from the show ‘Girls’ is now available to be rented, featuring the magical sunny yellow room.

The Albion Cottage from ‘Murder, She Wrote’ was converted into a bed and breakfast, which ultimately made way for the local economy to gain steady money.

Want to get a bit experimental with your vacations? How about this luxurious home from one of the episodes of ‘Breaking Bad’?

‘Golden Girls’ was originally shot in a studio but the owner of this property recreated the guest house in the show for fans to enjoy.

Couples usually take to this place from the finale of ‘The Bachelorette’ season 15. Although, even if that’s the case, families would still be able to enjoy it if they want to give the windmill a visit.

A lot of us would be immersed in the shows and movies that we watch. We would have thoughts of how it would feel to be in the same place as where they are.

The opportunity to be able to rent out places like these would make you feel closer to the characters. You wouldn’t have to wonder what they look like and you would get a vacation out of the experience too.
