You can even rock out in Prince's basement from Purple Rain.

The Air B&B "Icons" program has brought several famous houses from Hollywood to life.

 The real-life "Up" house is located in Abiquiu, New Mexico. It is equipped with all the elements in the movie, including the 8,000 balloons at the very top.

The best part is that it's suspended 50 feet in the air with a giant crane mimicking it's journey in the famous Pixar movie.

The X-Men mansion, is a converted mansion in New York's Westchester County.

To recreate it, Microsoft repurposed its 30-year-old operating systems to make working boomboxes. 

Every prop in the house is hand-painted to make it feel like you are walking through the 2D animated world. 

And for music lovers, you can jam at Prince's iconic Purple Rain house.

The Minneapolis, Minnesota home is available to rent for the first time to mark the album's 45th anniversary.

You have to jump through a few hoops to get into one of these amazing spots.

First, fill out a profile. Airbnb will pick about  4,000 winners over the course of the year.

Winners can stay for free or for less than 100 dollars.
