Short-term rental giant Airbnb unveiled a new listing on Tuesday – Shrek’s Swamp.

Located in the Scottish Highlands, it is hosted by Shrek’s four-legged best friend Donkey and what’s more, the two-night stay for up to three guests costs zero dollars, although T&Cs will always apply when you deal with fairy creatures.

Airbnb explains that the stay “brings a whole new meaning to the term ‘treehouse.’ With its clever use of forestry, charmingly rustic interiors and iconic outhouse, the swamp is certain to offer an experience unlike any other.”

Among the activities listed for guests to partake in are swapping stories around a fire and “relaxing in the ambience of ‘earwax candlelight’”. There are a few things to note before trying to book, however.

Airbnb urges that while the Shrek’s Swamp stay is priced at £0 a night, the stay is not a contest. Guests will be responsible for their own travel to and from Scotland, Airbnb says. Additionally, the bathroom is located 20 metres from the main living area in a standalone facility (it’s an ogre’s swamp, remember).

“Shrek’s Swamp is lovely. Just beautiful. The perfect place to entertain guests,” Donkey told Airbnb. “You know what I like about it? Everything. The overgrown landscaping, the modest interiors, the nice boulders, all of it. I can’t wait for guests to experience this muddy slice of paradise for themselves.”

Still sceptical about the zero fees? Airbnb explains the pricetag is “a nod to the priceless refuge Shrek’s Swamp has provided fairytale creatures of all kinds.”

Airbnb says it’s also making a one-time donation to the HopScotch Children’s Charity, which benefits vulnerable and disadvantaged children in Scotland.

After all, Shrek IS the good guy.
