Okay, all you Lucy lovers out there!!! Pack your trunk (…err, your bags)!
The Save Lucy Committee is excited to announce that THREE lucky Airbnb guests and their friends will have the chance to stay inside Lucy the Elephant, one of the first and only National Historic Landmarks now on Airbnb.
Starting on March 5th, longtime Lucy fans — or anyone who has had the Jersey Shore on their travel bucket list — can book a stay inside Lucy’s storied walls. Scheduled to take place on March 17th, 18th or 19th, each of the three one-night overnight stays is priced at $138, in honor of the number of years Lucy has served as a New Jersey Shore icon.
Standing a regal six stories high, Lucy the Elephant was built in 1881 and is older than the Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower in Paris. She hosted her first stay in 1902, and over the years she has served as a tavern and even hosted former United States President Woodrow Wilson.
During their Airbnb stay, guests will be transported back in time to when Lucy served as a summer vacation home in the early 20th century, fully decorated in Victorian style to resemble how Lucy’s interior may have looked at that time. Shortly after her brief stint as a residence is when Lucy was first opened as a tourist attraction where visitors could tour the furnished interior of “the Elephant House” for only 10 cents.
To celebrate this historic stay, Airbnb will make a donation to the Save Lucy Committee, supporting efforts to keep Lucy the Elephant standing “Jersey strong” for future generations to enjoy!
If you want to stay inside a piece of history that continues to invigorate the Jersey Shore, you can request to book* this experience. Reservations open March 5th at 12:00PM EST on airbnb.com/lucy.
*The three individual one-night stays at Lucy The Elephant is not a contest.
