Airbnb has a new listing for Shrek’s Swamp. And while this listing may look like a joke (it’s even “Hosted by Donkey”), it’s absolutely real, and booking opens on October 13.

Shrek’s Swamp

Shrek’s Swamp is located in the Scottish Highlands, “far, far away” from anything else on a 20-meter dirt trail off an unpaved road. In addition to the actual tree-shaped house, Shrek’s Swamp offers various outdoor activities: winding trails to explore, picturesque picnic spots under the endless conifer trees, and unobstructed skies perfect for stargazing.

The listing notes that the bathroom is located 20 meters from the main building, because it resembles Shrek’s actual outhouse.

Donkey writes:

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. I’m swamp-sitting while Shrek’s away this Halloween, and I’m absolutely delighted to invite you in for a fairytale stay. Oh, and never mind the “BEWARE” signs. They’re probably for decoration.

Some of the swamp rules are:

• Fairytale creatures of all kinds are welcome, but we ask that guests not bring any pets.
• Please no smoking, drugs or illegal activities. We also have a strict “no parties” policy.
• There will be 24-hour security on-site during the stay.
• There’s no kitchen on-site, but all meals and snacks will be provided, so please let me know if there are any allergies or dietary restrictions we should keep in mind.
• Lastly, and most importantly, remember guests won’t melt in the rain.

Only one two-night stay from October 27 – 29 will be available. A price is not currently listed, but we imagine it will be hefty. Airbnb will also make a donation to HopScotch Children’s Charity, which provides some of Scotland’s most vulnerable and disadvantaged children with respite breaks through nurturing and dynamic holiday trips.

The space

Booking opens on October 13 at 6 p.m. BST (10 a.m. PT) for one, two-night stay for up to three guests October 27-29.

Nestled deep within the forests of the Scottish Highlands and accented with the cozy comforts Shrek has accumulated over the years, the swamp offers a retreat like no other. This mud-laden, moss-covered, murky-watered oasis is a perfectly snug spot to escape from village life and embrace the beauty of nature.

During a stay in this spectacularly secluded swamp-scape, you can:
– Relax in the ambiance of “earwax candlelight”
– Kick your feet up with a parfait (everybody likes a parfait!)
– Swap stories around the fire until late in the night
– Enjoy a stack of freshly made waffles in the morning
– And of course, enjoy the ultimate privacy of Shrek’s trusted outhouse (you know the one)

To honor good childhood memories that last a lifetime, Airbnb will make a one-time donation to HopScotch Children’s Charity, which provides some of Scotland’s most vulnerable and disadvantaged children with respite breaks through nurturing and dynamic holiday trips.

Other things to note

Once you arrive and check-in, our on-site concierge will ensure a comfortable stay for you and your pals – including showing you around and arranging meals. Please note that toilet, sink and shower facilities will be located off-site, approximately 20 meters away from Shrek’s Swamp.

Hosted by Donkey

Wow, it is so nice to meet you. I’m Donkey, and I’m making magic with Airbnb to roll out the welcome mat this October while I’m swamp-sitting for Shrek. I have to be honest – I love everything about the swamp: the boulder out front, the modest interiors, the seclusion (ideal for singing karaoke late into the night), you get the picture. I can’t wait for guests to experience this muddy slice of paradise for themselves.
