Since 2004, manager Sandi Harding has kept the world’s last BLOCKBUSTER store in Bend, Oregon, running smoothly while retaining a 1990s flavor. This month, in appreciation for her loyal customers in Deschutes County, where the store is located, she listed the store on Airbnb for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

County residents can rent the store for a 1990s themed summer sleepover. For $4 plus taxes and fees, they can relive the Friday night movie rental tradition, except they can watch as many movies as they want during their stay. Compared to a single movie rental at $3.99, it’s quite a deal!

The nights available are September 18, 19, and 20. Reservations are first-come, first-served, and will be available starting Monday, August 17, at 1 p.m. Pacific time at airbnb.com/BLOCKBUSTER.

Guests staying at BLOCKBUSTER must follow Airbnb’s COVID safety guidelines, which include wearing masks and keeping a six-foot distance.

Get more details about this sleepover at this Airbnb page.

After the final guests check out, the rooms will stay open for a limited time so that BLOCKBUSTER customers and visitors can take a peek.
