Ghostbusters fans, paranormal enthusiasts and intrepid travelers can try their hand at ghost-hunting by booking the firehouse at 10 a.m. on Oct. 21, 2022. The single stay will be available to book exclusively on Vacasa.com on a first-come-first-served basis.

The private two-bedroom, three-story firehouse built in the early 1900s includes all the comforts of home with a full kitchen, multiple living quarters and endless Ghostbusters features, including a scientist-approved Ghost Containment System and a Dark Room where guests can develop and analyze photos of the Scourge of Carpathia. Courtesy of Vacasa’s dedicated local team, the beds are freshly made, the Ectoplasm has been expertly cleaned up, and the pantry is stocked—with StayPuft marshmallows and cheezy crackers (as long as Slimer doesn’t get to them first).

All of Egon’s essentials, including smoking Ghost Traps, a P.K.E. Meter, Proton Packs, Aura Video-Analyzer, and even an Ecto-Containment Unit are available throughout the firehouse so guests have everything they need to send ghosts back to their place of origin or the nearest convenient parallel dimension. In addition to the shelves of ghostly gadgets and ready-to-wear flight suits, no Ghostbusters station would be complete without Janine’s desk—and ringing phone—and an ominous seven-foot Vigo painting watching from the wall.

Vacasa’s courteous and efficient staff will be on call 24-hours a day to ensure the stay is a super(natural) experience. There's just one house rule: Don't. Cross. The streams. It would be bad. It would be a total protonic reversal…

So, where you gonna book? Visit the Vacasa.com listing on Oct. 21, 2022, at 10 a.m. PT for the chance to experience the Ghostbusters Firehouse in Portland for a nightly rate of $19.84 (plus local taxes + fees), in honor of the year the first movie was released.
