The Byers House is in Jackson, Georgia, not Hawkins
The house used for exterior shots of the Byers family home in Stranger Things is located in Jackson, Georgia, about 30 miles south of Atlanta. The address is 1619 Forest Road, Jackson, GA 30233. It became available on Airbnb in 2022 and is listed under the name "Stranger Things Byers House" or similar variations, though availability and pricing change seasonally.
The listing includes the iconic red brick exterior, the front porch, and the surrounding property that appeared in multiple seasons of the show. The interior was not used for filming — only the outside of the house and the yard appear on screen — so the inside is furnished as a regular vacation rental rather than a replica of the show's set.
The property is a short drive from other filming locations used in the series, including downtown areas in nearby towns. Many renters book it specifically to visit other Stranger Things filming sites in the region.

How to search for the listing on Airbnb
Start by opening Airbnb and searching for Jackson, Georgia as your location. Then use the search filters to narrow results — you can search by property type (entire home), number of bedrooms, or price range. The Byers House listing typically appears when you search for "Stranger Things" in the search bar or filter by "unique stays."
If you search by address directly (1619 Forest Road, Jackson, GA), the listing should come up if it is currently active. Keep in mind that the listing may be booked months in advance during peak travel seasons, especially around Halloween and during new season releases on Netflix.
The listing sometimes goes offline temporarily for maintenance or cleaning. If you cannot find it, check back in a few days or contact Airbnb support to confirm whether the property is still available for rental.
What to expect from the rental
The house is a three-bedroom, one-bathroom property with a living room, kitchen, and dining area. It sleeps up to six guests. The rental includes standard amenities like Wi-Fi, a TV, and a full kitchen. Parking is available on the property.
The main draw is the exterior and the yard — the front porch, the driveway, and the surrounding trees are all recognizable from the show. Many guests spend time taking photos outside and exploring the property. The neighborhood is quiet and residential, so expect a peaceful stay rather than a party atmosphere.
The interior is not decorated as a Stranger Things set, though the host may include some show-related touches. The house is maintained as a working vacation rental, so the decor and furnishings are updated periodically.
Pricing and booking windows
Nightly rates typically range from $150 to $300 per night, depending on the season and how far in advance you book. Peak seasons — summer, Halloween, and around Netflix release dates — command higher prices and book up faster. Off-season rates in winter and early spring are usually lower.
Most hosts require a minimum stay of two to three nights. Cancellation policies vary, so read the host's specific terms before booking. Many hosts offer flexible cancellation during slower periods but stricter policies during peak times.
Airbnb's service fees are added on top of the nightly rate, so factor those into your total cost when comparing prices.
Other Stranger Things filming locations near Jackson
Jackson is close to several other sites used in the show. The town of Madison, Georgia, about 20 minutes away, was used for downtown Hawkins scenes. The Georgia Film Studios in Senoia, about 45 minutes north, hosted interior set filming and is sometimes open for tours.
Many fans rent the Byers House as a base and spend a day or two driving to other locations. The drive from Jackson to Atlanta is about 45 minutes, so you can also explore the city if you want to break up your trip.
Local tourism websites for Jackson and surrounding towns often list Stranger Things filming locations and fan-friendly stops, including diners and shops that appeared in the show.
Tips for booking and visiting
Book as far in advance as possible if you have specific dates in mind, especially during summer or around Halloween. If your preferred dates are booked, set up a notification through Airbnb so you know if the host opens up a cancellation.
Check the host's reviews carefully — look for comments about responsiveness, cleanliness, and accuracy of the listing photos. Ask the host questions about parking, check-in times, and what to do if you have issues during your stay.
The property is in a residential neighborhood, so be respectful of neighbors and keep noise levels low, especially in the evening. Do not trespass on neighboring properties or block driveways.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I visit the Byers House if I don't rent it?
The house is private property, so you cannot enter the yard or take photos without the owner's permission. However, you can view it from the street and take photos from public areas. Many fans drive by to see the exterior even if they do not rent it.
Is the interior of the house the same as it appears in Stranger Things?
No. Only the exterior was filmed for the show. The interior is furnished as a regular vacation rental and does not match the set design from the series. If you are hoping to see the inside of the Byers house as it appears on screen, this rental will not provide that experience.
What is the closest airport to the Byers House?
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) is about 45 minutes away by car. It is the closest major airport with frequent flights. You will need to rent a car to reach Jackson from Atlanta, as there is no public transportation between the airport and the property.
Are there other Stranger Things Airbnbs in Georgia?
Yes. Other properties used in the show have been listed on Airbnb, including homes in Madison and Senoia. Search Airbnb for "Stranger Things" and filter by Georgia to see what is currently available. Availability changes frequently, so check back regularly if a specific property is booked.
How long should I stay at the Byers House?
Most guests stay two to three nights, which gives you time to explore the property, take photos, and visit nearby filming locations. A one-night stay is possible if the host allows it, but you will spend a significant portion of your time traveling to and from the property.
