Scooby-Dooby-Doo, where are you? Well, he’s certainly not hanging around the Mystery Machine these days. Who you’ll find there, though, is his human best friend Shaggy—who is now an Airbnb host in Southern California.
The wheeled pop-culture icon is now on the homestay rental platform, and helming the role of its host is none other than Matthew Lillard, the actor who played Shaggy in the live-action Scooby-Doo movies. The official Mystery Inc. experience by Warner Bros and Airbnb commemorates 20 years since Scooby-Doo: The Movie first hit the silver screen in 2002.

And to mark the 20th anniversary, the vacay is only going for US$20 a night. Zoinks!
The van is tastefully preserved in the 2000s, with objects like a groovy lava lamp, a puka shell necklace, and a portable CD player adorning its space.
While the mystery-solving dog won’t be around, fans will be virtually greeted by Lillard, who will also share some behind-the-scenes anecdotes from his Scooby-Doo adventures.

The experience also entails all-you-can-eat snacks and a dinner of some of Shaggy & Scooby’s favorite foods, such as hot dogs and eggplant burgers. Whodunit mystery games are at hand for guests to exercise their sleuthing muscles.

Of course, the stay also invites guests to huddle up and rewatch Scooby-Doo with some Scooby Snacks. Fans could even take things outdoors at the lounge and hammock area outside.
“I’ve been channeling Shaggy since the live-action adaptation in 2002, and he’s been a part of me ever since,” says Lillard. “I can’t wait to welcome guests into the world of the Mystery Inc. gang as their Airbnb Host and give them a summer vacation they’ll never forget… monsters not included!”
Bookings will open on Thursday, June 16. There will be three one-night options—June 24, June 25, and June 26. Find out more here.
