UP to three guests will be able to stay in a recreation of Shrek’s swamp in the Highlands this Halloween.
Airbnb, in partnership with Dreamworks Animation – where the popular franchise was created – has created a replica of Shrek’s home in a mystery location in the Highlands.
People will be able to request to book a two-night stay for up to three guests between October 27-29.
The stay will cost nothing, in what Airbnb call “a nod to the priceless refuge Shrek’s swamp has provided fairytale creatures of all kinds”.

Whilst the stay is free, guests are responsible for their own travel to and from the location.
The swamp, which mirrors the treehouse style seen in the film franchise, includes a rustic interior with a double bed, wooden table, fireplace, as well as a separate toilet facility 20 meters away from the main building to mirror “Shrek’s trusted outhouse”.
Airbnb has also pledged to make a one-time donation to the HopScotch Children’s Charity, which provides some of Scotland’s most vulnerable and disadvantaged children with respite breaks through nurturing and holiday trips.
The four Shrek films have earned more than $2.9 billion since the first film was released in 2001.
Guests can request to book Shrek’s Swamp beginning October 13 at 6pm. More information can be found here.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
