KIND. WE KNOW WHAT YOU THINKING. THIS THING IS NOT REAL. WE KNOW THIS BECAUSE WE THINK THE SAME THING. Until we arrived at a top secret location in Littleton, Massachusetts. OH MY, OH MY GOD. As Polly would say, it's off the hook. THIS IS INCREDIBLE. YES. WELCOME TO THE COMPACT ICON OF POLLY POCKET, A 42-FOOT-TALL, THREE-STOREY POLLY POCKET HOME, BROUGHT TO LIFE BY AIRBNB. ALI KILLAM TAKES US THE GREAT TOUR. ALL RIGHT. NICOLE. And then this is my favorite part of the compact, it's Polly's closet. OH, MY. WOW. OH, MY. WOW, THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY. OH MY GOD. POLLY LEFT ALL KINDS OF SURPRISES FOR HER SPECIAL GUESTS. OH, WHO IS INVITED TO GET HELD? Pretty little bows from Polly's Vanity. PERFECT. IT MATCHES OUR OUTFIT. BEAUTIFUL. Then it's down. OH! OH, MY GOD, IT REALLY IS. OH MY GOD! SO AWESOME. OR? It's time to raid Polly's closet. OH MY GOD, THERE ARE PURSES AND STRUTT. ONE thing on the track. THE POLLY POCKET COMPACT HOUSE WAS BUILT TO CELEBRATE THE 35TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE POPULAR MATTEL DOLLS. THE PROJECT IS PART OF AIRBNB’S ICON SERIES OF TEMPORARY POP-UPS. GUESTS SPENT THE NIGHT IN ICONS LIKE A RECREATION OF THE MOVIE'S BALLOON HOUSE OR THE X-MEN MANSION AND THE POLLY POCKET HOUSE. BUT YOU WILL LITERALLY SEE EVERY DETAIL OF THE COMPACT TOY IS 1 TO 1 WITH THE LIFE SIZE POLLY POCKET ICON BEHIND YOU. NIGHTS SHOULD PACK A SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE SLEEPING OPTIONS ARE EITHER POLLY'S GIGUEL SOFA UNDER THE STARS OR THE SHELTER OF A NEARBY HARD TENT. THIS IS AWESOME. THIS IS SO COOL. YOU CAN LOOK AT THE SKY AT NIGHT AND EVERYTHING. So how do you sum up this candy-colored, mind-blowing dreamscape by quoting this favorite phrase from Polly? Of course this place is off the hook. FROM BRITAIN TO A GOOD HONKY TONK A MORE CONVENTIONAL CAMPSITE IS THE NEXT STOP ON OUR TOUR EVERY WEEK, OR SO I WILL GET A CALL TO SAY ARE ANY CABINS AVAILABLE? YOU HAVE A CAMPUS TO RENT AND WE STILL HAVE TO SAY NO. You've always wished that the euphoria of a concert at your favorite summer music shed didn't end with the torment of a ten-mile traffic jam. Well, Indian Ranch has you covered. It's good for us and it's good for the public. Old whiskey doesn't work anymore. EVERYONE, FOR OVER 75 YEARS, INDIAN RANCH HAS INVITED MUSIC'S BIGGEST STARS TO PLAY. UNDER THE PINES ON THE EDGE OF LAKE WEBSTER. THERE HAS LONG EXISTED A SEASONAL CAMPGROUND ON THE PROPERTY, AND MANAGER PETER MARLOW WAS CONVINCED THAT CONCERTS COULD BE A CAPTIVE MARKET FOR A WEEKEND RV RENTAL. DEMAND HAS BEEN OFF THE CHARTS. We actually added a second one two years ago and this year I've already had to turn away 40 people. MUSIC FANS CAN RENT A LUXURY CAMPER, SPEND A FEW DAYS AT A SHOW, DIN ON-SITE AT SAMUEL SLATER RESTAURANT, AND CRUISE LAKE WEBSTER ON THE PADDLE WHEEL. INDIAN PRINCESS. WE REALLY HAD A GREAT TIME. BEATRICE, CODY AND PETER BOUCHER, BOTH EDUCATORS, CAME TO INDIAN RANCH TO SEE THE LEAD. THE POPULAR LED ZEPPELIN TRIBUTE BAND RENTING THIS LUXURY CAMPERVAN MEANS SKIPping THE LONG LATE NIGHT DRIVE BACK TO EAST HAMPTON AND DOING A LITTLE R&R WITH THEIR R&R. We had a great time. We had dinner, you know, and then the boat ride and then the concert was amazing and it's so luxurious. We had an absolute blast. We have already decided to come back as often as possible. WOW. AND THE SUMMER CONCERT SERIES IS ENDED AT INDIAN RANCH AND THE CAMPGROUND IS CLOSED FOR THE SEASON. KEEP AN EYE ON NEXT YEAR’S CALENDAR. THESE RV RENTALS REVENUE QUICKLY. THEY GO UP QUICKLY. THEY CERTAINLY DO. OK, now back to Polly Pocket House. ITS RUNNING IS COMPLETED FOR NOW, BUT THERE ARE ALL THESE OTHER COOL ICON HOMES IN THE AIRBNB SERIES. They had a Beetlejuice house in New Jersey that just closed recently too, and they have a purple rain house in Minnesota, a nod to Prince, of course. HOW FUN. AND THESE TWO LITTLE GIRLS. MY GOD. ALL R
