Go Inside Airbnb’s ‘X-Men ’97’ Mansion: Wolverine’s Bedroom, Beast’s Lab, Danger Room Training and More

Take a tour of Airbnb's 'X-Men '97' mansion.

The X-perience of a lifetime is here.

Airbnb has redesigned a private mansion in Westchester, N.Y. — the home of the X-Men in Marvel comics — into a replica of the mutant manor from "X-Men '97."

The mansion, decorated in the 2-D animation style of the Disney+ series, is complete with replicas of Wolverine's and Jubilee's bedrooms, Beast's science lab, the telepathic Cerebro device, the Danger Room and other features. There's even the severed head of an evil, robotic Sentinel laying in the front yard to greet you as you arrive.

The "X-Men '97" mansion is part of Airbnb's new Icons line, a series of unique experiences located around the world inspired by movies, TV, music and art. The company unveiled its first 11 Icons, which include the "Up" balloon house, Riley's Headquarters from "Inside Out 2," Prince's "Purple Rain" home and more. Most of the Icon locations are free, and the others cost less than $100 per guest. They can be booked through the app, which displays a countdown timer for when each Icon is available. More than 4,000 lucky guests will be able to visit them in 2024.

Variety toured the "X-Men '97" mansion ahead of the announcement and got the full superhero experience. The mutant home is tucked away in scenic Westchester, surrounded by woods and a sparkling lake that makes it feel like a real Marvel getaway. Upon arriving, the iconic "X-Men '97" theme song blasts from the mansion as you walk up. The life-sized Sentinel head sits on a pile of rubble, a leftover that hasn't been cleaned up after a previous X-Men battle.

Every nook and cranny of the mansion is vibrantly colored, with bold comic book sketch lines applied to surfaces to make it feel like you're actually in an episode of "X-Men '97." Portraits of Charles Xavier, Magneto, Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Gambit, Bishop, Beast and more adorn the entryway. As you go inside, you're greeted by three X-Men "trainees" who guide you through the experience.

First, you'll ascend a winding staircase and tour the themed bedrooms. Wolverine's room is covered in claw marks on the walls, no doubt caused by some razor-sharp, adamantium rage. His closet holds his civilian clothes, including a red flannel shirt and boots, and a fake gym bench sits in the corner for a quick workout. A pair of samurai swords, a token of a past X-Men mission, are mounted above the bed, and on his bedside table is a framed photo of Cyclops and Jean — inspired by the viral meme from "X-Men: The Animated Series."

Whoever owns the Home Alone house could be a billionaire off this.

Wow, I can't tell if those are illustrations or actual pictures of the place. Well done.

Uh I don't want to be anywhere near Wolverine's bedroom. You don't know what he's done in there.
