Fans of ‘A Christmas Story’ Can Now Spend the Night in the House Where It Was Filmed

Few holiday films are as iconic and nostalgic as 1983’s “A Christmas Story,” and now you can relive the misadventures in person by spending a night in the Midwestern home where it was filmed.

Set in Cleveland’s Tremont neighborhood with its perky yellow exterior and signature green trim, “The Christmas Story” house first opened for overnight stays in 2017. The following year, the Bumpus House—home to the fictional hillbilly neighbors in the movie, the Bumpuses—also started taking reservations.

While most interior scenes were shot elsewhere, walking into these homes is like walking right into the movie itself. Inside, visitors will find fun movie-inspired decor like the famous leg lamp and a Red Ryder BB gun, all complimented by 1940s-era furnishings.

There are several rooms available to book, including the third-floor suite in “The Christmas Story” house, which can accommodate up to six guests. The suite itself is complete with a bedroom, living room, a full kitchen, and a full bathroom and starts at $545 per night. Then after all the tours have wrapped for the day, guests have access to the full house all to themselves.

At the Bumpus House, film buffs can book two different suites. The Hound Dog Haven suite sits on the first floor and includes a queen bed, a daybed with a trundle bed underneath it, and a kitchenette. The suite can accommodate up to four people and starts at $195 per night.

The larger Stolen Turkey Suite sits on the second and third floors complete with three bedrooms and its own kitchenette with room for up to six guests. Rates for this suite start at $245 per night.

Guests can take home a souvenir of their stay from the gift shop, which offers several items fans of the movie will know and recognize, including pink bunny suits, movie-themed games, and even their own replica leg lamp, too. And every suite has its own TV so overnight visitors can watch their favorite Christmas movies with several provided.

For those not able to spend the night, movie fans can still immerse themselves in the world of Ralphie Parker and his family thanks to year-round tours. General admission starts at $20 and includes the chance to recreate movie history. The museum across the street boasts iconic props from the film like the family car, toys from the Higbee’s window display, the chalkboard from Miss Shields’ classroom, and more.
