Lucy the Elephant, the New Jersey-based attraction whose claim to fame is being the world's largest elephant and the oldest roadside attraction in the United States, will soon open its doors to overnight guests for the first time in over 100 years.
Save Lucy Committee, the nonprofit responsible for Lucy's continued existence, has partnered with Airbnb to provide three couples the chance to book one-night stays inside the wooden and metal structure in mid-March.
However, Lucy's future isn't to become a vacation haven. It'll only be available for three days - March 17, 18 and 19 - and each couple will get to stay for $138, in honor of Lucy's age in years. Any money Lucy raises through tours is already slated for spending on that project, which could cost $500,000 and take two years to complete, Helfant said. Airbnb is also making a substantial donation to the project.
Inside, the elephantine structure will be outfitted with bedrooms on the bottom floor and a kitchen and dining area on the top floor, just as it was in 1902. Vintage editions of Victorian-era games, such as checkers and chess, will be available to guests to play, along with a cart filled with snacks specifically from Margate and the surrounding area.
