Shrek is getting into the vacation rental business. Travelers can book a stay at a real-life version of the ogre’s swamp home this fall on Airbnb.
Guests can stay at the secluded, moss-covered property free of charge from Oct. 27-29, though the house is nestled in the Scottish Highlands rather than Duloc (the exact location will be provided after booking). Donkey, Shrek’s trusty sidekick from the beloved film franchise, is “swamp-sitting” while the ogre is away, according to the listing.
“Shrek’s Swamp is lovely. Just beautiful. The perfect place to entertain guests,” Donkey said in a news release. “You know what I like about it? Everything. The overgrown landscaping, the modest interiors, the nice boulders, all of it. I can’t wait for guests to experience this muddy slice of paradise for themselves.”
Guests can request to book Shrek’s Swamp starting Oct. 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern time, where they can explore nearby trails, stargaze at night and – of course – enjoy waffles for breakfast.
What are the terms of the stay at Shrek’s Swamp?
The booking is good for up to three guests. While accommodations and meals are covered, visitors will be responsible for travel expenses to and from Scotland. Airbnb will also make a donation to HopScotch Children’s Charity, which provides trips to vulnerable and disadvantaged kids, according to the release.

“In order to request to book this stay, guests must have an active Airbnb profile, agreement to the Airbnb Terms of Service and acknowledgement of the Airbnb Privacy Policy, with a good track record on the platform,” the listing reads.

Guests also have to be able to provide a government-issued ID, and must submit a complete message upon requesting the booking including information about who will be joining. All fellow travelers must be at least 5 years old.
Travelers should also note that toilet, sink and shower facilities are about 20 meters – roughly 65 feet – from the home.
