Airbnb is doubling down on renting out the homes of fictional characters.

Three months after offering a stay at Barbie's Malibu DreamHouse, Airbnb's latest stunt is a long weekend at Shrek's Swamp.

"Ogre enthusiasts can find peace and quiet watching the leaves fall in this mud-laden, moss-covered, murky-watered oasis that is Shrek's Swamp," the listing for the property based on DreamWorks' 2001 hit animated film reads.

The bedroom is designed to look exactly how it does in the 2001 animated film.

The property is located in the Scottish Highlands, and appears to be a faithful recreation of the green ogre's animated abode, complete with oversized furniture and roots growing down through the ceiling.

Guests will be able to light "earwax candles," sit around a fire and will be treated to Donkey's freshly made waffles for breakfast.

Just like in the film, the bathroom is located in an outhouse on the property and features a toilet, sink and shower facilities.

The stay even features Shrek's outhouse.

The listing is offering a two-night stay from Oct. 27 to Oct. 29 for up to three guests. The Airbnb will available for bookings on Oct. 13 at 6 p.m. BST.

Though children are welcome as guests, they must be at least 5 years of age.

If you land the stay, be aware that you will be responsible for your own travel to and from Scotland. That means if you're not a Scottish local, you will be booking your flight just two weeks out.
