Winnie-the-Pooh’s ‘Bearbnb’ Available For Rent
Kids of all ages now have a chance to stay at a cottage in East Sussex, England that’s inspired by Winnie-the-Pooh. It’s built into the base of a tree in Ashdown Forest, the setting for A.A. Milne’s children’s classic. According to UPI, this unique dwelling is available for rent on Airbnb as part of Disney’s 95th anniversary celebration.
The “Bearbnb” is hosted by artist Kim Raymond, who has been drawing Winnie-the-Pooh for more than 30 years. Raymond said she used details from E.H. Shepard’s original illustrations to make the tiny home an accurate representation of Pooh Bear’s humble abode.

The cottage is full of details from the story, including cupboards stocked with Pooh-approved “hunny” pots. The one-bedroom tree stump sleeps four. Guests will also get a guided tour through the enchanted Hundred Acre Wood and play Poohsticks on Poohsticks Bridge (above), just like the characters in the book.
If this sounds like your kind of getaway, there are two separate single-night stays available on September 24th and 25th for about $130 a night and the dates will be up for grabs on Monday, September 20th at 9:00 AM. You’ll just have to get yourself to England. You can see photos on the Airbnb listing.
