From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

While a vampire husband is still out of the question, Airbnb is offering Twilight fans a different opportunity to live vicariously through Bella Swan - by renting her home.

The “Twilight Swan House”, located in the green, rainy Pacific Northwest and made famous when Twilight was released 10 years ago, is located in Saint Helens, Oregon, and is currently available on Airbnb for $330 a night.

Although the house is not actually located in the town of Forks, Washington, where Bella moves to live with her father Charlie in the Twilight saga, the white rental features all of the beloved details seen in the films.

In addition to the iconic green kitchen cabinets, Bella's purple bedspread and the dining table used by Charlie, the home also has five bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and can fit up to 10 guests.

Keeping with the theme of the vampire-werewolf love triangle, the owners of the house implore guests to choose their team while picking a bedroom.

“Team Edward? Sleep in the ‘lookout’ room, overlooking the front yard, which is where Bella looks out the window to see Edward parked,” the description reads. “Team Jacob? Sleep in the ‘Jacob Black guest room’, located off the main entry downstairs.”

To complete the Twilight experience, the Airbnb, which dates back to the 1930s, also comes complete with cardboard cutouts of Kristen Stewart, who played Bella, and Taylor Lautner, who played Jacob.

According to the listing, the home is a short drive from Portland and guests are required to book at least a two-day rental.

From the five-star rating, and 21 positive reviews, it is clear other Twilight fans have enjoyed the experience.

“If you are a die-hard Twilight fan, then staying at the Swan House is a must (top of your bucket list)!” one guest wrote. “It was so surreal, amazing and awesome! Dean and Amber have made the house picture perfect.”

Another person said: “Amber & Dean’s Swan House will not disappoint. If you are a Twilight fan, it’s a must visit. It’s fun to watch the movies in the house knowing parts were filmed in it.”
