The house’s exterior looked quaint and homey; once inside, however, a different story played out; motion picture worlds collided.

Each pastel coloured room in the Airbnb in Prince Edward County is themed after a film by Wes Anderson, the eccentric director whose works include Moonrise Kingdom and The Royal Tenenbaums, and span two decades. The house is located in Picton, a small town nestled in the heart of the bucolic county, near Kingston, Ont.

Leah Gibson, a 24-year-old florist from Ottawa, visited “Mr. Anderson’s House” in mid-July for one night with her partner. She’s a big fan of the director and wanted to experience the area, she said. It made the Airbnb a hot ticket for her.

“We usually guerrilla camp it, so I thought it would nice to book something a little classier,” said Gibson. “It’s lovely. I pretty much love Wes Anderson. It fits in really well for younger people wanting the Prince Edward County experience.”

The host, Dayna Winter, said she considers the house to be her creative outlet, an endeavour she’s pulled off by herself. She opened the doors to Airbnb guests last July.

“Everything is thrifted and DIY,” said Winter, who stays in Toronto when visitors arrive. “This is an art project that’s inspired by Anderson. He’s sort of my muse.”

Within Winter is a smidgen of regret, she said, given the intricate design feats that are part and parcel of Anderson’s films.

“It’s a really, really hard theme. Anderson has a great design mind and he obviously has a big team and a big budget to pull it off, so it’s been a bit of a challenge.”

The guests the Star spoke with had nothing but admiration for Winter’s work. Gibson said she was amazed by Winter’s fine touches and how the space was remarkably tidy.

“Why stay in a regular Airbnb in the city when you could pay the same price for a more tailored experience that pays a lot more attention to detail?” she wondered.

Visitors aren’t relegated to one room; the whole house is theirs.

The space is full of knick knacks and vintage gadgets.

Leisse Wilcox, 36, spent a couple nights at the Airbnb in January to hunker down and write columns for publications in Canada and the U.S.

“I wanted a quiet space, not only to focus, but a place to really feel inspiration,” she said. “Going to a normal hotel wouldn’t have done the same thing. The space is incredibly inspired and creative.”

Wilcox’s time there added to her undying crush on Anderson.

“Wes Anderson is just a great storyteller who taps into this unrequited child in all of us and embellishes it honestly and openly. The house is an interpretation of each of the movies and that comes across. Every room you can feel the storyline.”
