You Can Finally Earn Your Hogwarts Diploma If You Stay At This Magical Airbnb
It turns out that you don't have to make the long journey from Platform 9 3/4 to score your very own diploma from the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. All you have to do is travel a quick 90-minutes away from New York City by car, train, or Nimbus 2000.
AirBnb super host Raven has taken the tiny house craze to a whole new level, introducing a carefully-curated Harry Potter abode in upstate New York. The 300-square-foot "Magical Tiny House of Wizarding" offers 360-degree views of the historic Hudson Valley, as well as neighboring apple orchards and vineyards.
When you enter, say "accio" to summon the special guest book and leave your permanent mark on this magical extension of the Harry Potter universe. Don't worry: You won't have to venture all the way to Diagon Alley before you cast your spell. A large selection of magical wands will be waiting at your fingertips. (Seriously, they're hung on the wall as decor.)
In the reading nook, you'll find copies of the "Daily Prophet." Or you can channel your inner Luna Lovegood and read the "Quibbler" upside down. Times are crazy, and we won't blame you if you want to take a break from the news of the day while on your leisurely stay. You can travel back to simpler times as you re-read J.K. Rowling's masterpiece, with all seven volumes available in hardback.
For those looking to enjoy the lush landscape at your fingertips (there's a private lavender field on site!), consider playing a game of Quidditch. The house includes a golden snitch, quaffle, and its very own Tri-Wizard cup. Among the wildlife you're likely to see outside are birds, butterflies, coyotes, and families of deer.
Even though you're surrounded by nature, the house is fully equipped with WiFi to allow you to keep in touch with the Muggle world—should you so choose. Better yet, you can stream all of the Harry Potter and sister series Fantastic Beasts films on your favorite streaming platforms. If you have to work on your stay, don't fret: A laptop friendly station awaits you. And the magic doesn't stop there... Raven also stocks the otherworldly tiny house with premium Glossier and Kiehl's products.
Up to four guests can fit into this tiny home, which books for the low-price of $179 per night with breakfast included. Best of all, everyone leaves with their own personalized Hogwarts diploma. But book while you can: The listing has been viewed more than 500 times in the past week.
