HOW The Grinch Stole Christmas is a classic holiday movie that will undoubtedly get you in the Christmas spirit.

There’s no better feeling than watching the bitter Grinch leave his dark cave and descent down to Whoville to become a “Holiday Cheermister.”

Outside of Boulder, Utah, designers built a cave that looks just like the Grinch's cave from the 2000 film How The Grinch Stole Christmas

If you’ve ever seen the movie, you know all about the life that the Grinch leads in his private, rocky cave.

And this month, Christmas afficionados have the chance to actually visit and sleep inside a cave that looks just like his.

From December 3rd to December 23rd, guests can book their stay in the multi-level, 5,700 square-foot cozy residence near Boulder, Utah.

And it’s all thanks to a partnership between Dr. Seuss Enterprises and Vacasa—the vacation rental management website—who dreamed up the idea. 

The cave was hand-carved and designed to mimic the exact one we see in the film, constructed on the side of a massive stone mountain.

And it’s equipped with all things Grinch-like:

The kitchen will hold his favorite foods like who-pudding, who-liday ham, who-hash, and of course roastable beast.

A grand piano, guitar, and drum set are in the music room—the Grinch’s go-to instruments.

Monogrammed robes and slippers await in the main bedroom, which also includes the green creature’s famously funky alarm clock.

Fans will marvel at the memorable gadgets from the film, like the Grinch’s extravagant coffee machine, his eccentric mirror, and his cool snowmobile.

There’s even a small bed for his pet Max.

What a way to live out a childhood dream.
