5 Bedroom 1 Story House
You can imagine it, right? The crackling fire, the snow flurries waltzing behind the window, the warm eggnog, and the holiday tunes floating in from the radio. Add a few Christmas cookies and the coziness of your family sitting beside your twinkling leg lamp...and, well, it's almost too good to be true.
But get this: It actually could very well be true, thanks to a little magic from the Christmas Story house. Yes, the flurries, fire, and holiday tunes could all be yours this holiday season. It's just up to you to make it happen.
What on Earth are we talking about, you ask?
Well, let's start with a bit of background. For most of us, the holiday isn't complete without a re-watching of what is possibly the best Christmas movie of all time: A Christmas Story. Odds are, you've seen it too, and you've got your own fond memories of the film. During each annual viewing, we'll admit that we've always wished we could just spend one night in that all-American, wintery home. It might be ordinary in its design, but it's extraordinary due to its special memories and its place in our hearts.
Now, our wish just might be granted.

The town in the film was based on Hammond, Indiana, where author Jean Shepherd grew up. But the 1983 movie was set and filmed mostly in Cleveland, Ohio, because it more accurately resembled an Indiana suburb in the 1940s, and because the local department store, Higbee's, allowed them to film there. In a cute coincidence, the house that Shepherd grew up in back in Indiana was actually located on Cleveland St., which seems like a good omen.

The famous house is located at 3159 W. 11th St., in the Tremont neighborhood of Cleveland, and it's been operating public tours ever since it was restored to its movie glory back in 2006 (there's a museum with memorabilia from the film directly across the street as well). But now, guests can actually sleep at the Christmas Story house, which can accommodate a family of six.

According to the website, you'd have private access to the third floor loft for the duration of your stay, and have the entire home all to yourself from an hour after it closes to the public until 9 a.m. the following day. Sleeping arrangements consist of "a queen bed, queen sleeper sofa and Ralphie and Randy's twin beds," and there's a living room, kitchen, and bathroom as well.
The rate for the chance to live out your favorite film starts at $395 per night, and varies with the season. Usually there are no minimum stay requirements, but during the holidays they ask for at least two days.
