“What are you doing in my swamp?”
That’s what Shrek could be asking you — and up to two other guests — this Halloween. A new Airbnb listing will give people the opportunity to stay in a replica of Shrek’s swamp from Dreamwork’s 2001 animated film.
Located in Highland Council, Scotland, the swamp comes complete with candles made of (fake) earwax, a nice boulder, an outhouse and — of course — waffles for breakfast.
The Airbnb listing is hosted by none other than Shrek’s trusty sidekick, Donkey.
“Shrek’s Swamp is a stumpy, secluded haven fit for a solitude-seeking ogre … and for the first time ever, a handful of his biggest fans, thanks to yours truly,” the listing from “Donkey” reads.
“I’m swamp-sitting while Shrek’s away this Halloween, and I’m absolutely delighted to invite you in for a fairytale stay.”
How to book Shrek’s Swamp on Airbnb
