Stay in the house from ‘Up’ — just make sure you’re not afraid of heights. Seriously

Drift away (but not really) in this house that decorates the New Mexico sky.
Even though it premiered in 2009, the Disney animated comedy-drama “Up” still rests firm in everyone’s memory thanks to its phenomenal visuals and emotional storyline. And Airbnb knows this and is offering fans a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity — stay in Carl and Ellie’s charming abode for a night.
Yes, the one that flies.
The re-creation is located in Abiquiu, New Mexico, and has more than 8,000 colorful balloons attached, an Airbnb news release says.
“I don’t always like visitors, but I guess it’s pretty nice to have them now that it’s just me and Dug,” host Carl Fredricksen says in the listing.
“So, come stay in my cozy home I made with my dear Ellie. My greatest adventures have happened here, and I learned that the best ones are always with someone you love, so bring your pals to kickstart your very own Adventure Book and watch as my house drifts off before you depart.”
What’s helping out the balloons? A massive crane that lifts the house into the sky, enabling it to float.
And just like the movie, Carl still has his signature crankiness that shines in the listing.
“Take a look around. But don’t touch anything, I just straightened up! Pretty nice, eh?” the listing says. “This place used to be a dump but we fixed it up, my wonderful Ellie and me. Decorated it with stuff from all the trips we planned to take. I’m a bit old for adventure nowadays, but I know it’s still out there, especially if you stay here—but just for one night, don’t get too comfy.”
The house comes with two beds (one double bed in the bedroom and a queen bed in the living room) and costs nothing a night.
The opportunity is arising on the movie’s 15th anniversary, and requests to book the house close at 11:59 p.m. on May 13. Fans can request to book, and Airbnb will randomly choose winners.
Abiquiu is about a 50-mile drive northwest of Santa Fe.
