Shaggy himself will welcome you to the 4-wheeled home.

Airbnb is an online marketplace that allows homeowners to open their doors to visitors. Due to its wide array of staycation listings, users see some of the strangest homes, providing a memorable experience. Now, the app has one listing that can be regarded as mysterious.

No, literally. Matthew Lillard will open overnight bookings for his Mystery Machine van which appeared in the world of Scooby-Doo. Lillard is an actor who played Shaggy in the first live-action film of the franchise. The Mystery Machine staycation is a way for him to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the film.

Here are the services the home on four wheels can offer to guests:

  • A virtual greeting from Lillard upon arrival. He may even share some of his favorite memories with the meddling kids.
  • A throwback experience to 2002 by listening to the latest Sugar Ray album on a portable CD. This also includes basking in the glow of a lava lamp and donning Shaggy’s signature puka shell necklace.
  • All-you-can-eat snacks and a selection to choose from for dinner, featuring all of Shaggy and Scooby’s favorite foods such as hot dogs and eggplant burgers.
  • Mystery games galore so guests can put their whodunit-solving skills to the test.
  • A late-night re-watch of Scooby-Doo, with popcorn, candy, and all the Scooby Snacks.
  • An outdoor setup with enough lounge seating and hammock space.

Onsite staff will be available to cater to the guests’ needs. Lillard assured that the van is following COVID-19 guidelines of both the state and Airbnb for the safety of those who will stay for the night. Another thing he noted is that no monsters will be invited.
