Immerse Yourself in Prince's World of 'Purple Rain' With a Stay at 'The Kid's House' for $7 Per Person

Minneapolis Epic Stays
by Katie Gavin Sep 27, 2024

July this year marked the 40th anniversary of the release of Purple Rain, and while a lot has changed since 1984, there are still cherished places from the film in Minneapolis you can visit. Perhaps the most famous is “The Kid’s House,” locally known as “The Prince House,” and you can stay overnight with Airbnb.

We hope you love the Purple Rain house Airbnb we recommend! Just so you know, Matador may collect a small commission from the links on this page if you decide to book a stay. Listed prices are accurate as of the time of publication.

You can request a booking at this Prince experience from October 2 at 6:00 PM PT through October 6 at 11:59 PM PT.

The epic listing is part of Airbnb’s Icons Category, which launched in May 2024. This year, we’ve already been offered the opportunity to stay in a live-sized Polly Pocket in Massachusetts and Carl’s home from Disney and Pixar’s Up, sleepover in the Ferrari Museum, and hang out with Kevin Hart at his private speakeasy.

Unlike many other Airbnb listings, Icons events are priced below $100 per person, making them accessible to a wide range of travelers and fans.

The Airbnb is managed by lifelong friends and collaborators of Prince, Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman, who have lovingly created an immersive experience with displays of Prince’s personal collection of memorabilia — including their wardrobe.

Although you won’t be able to squeeze into the purple suit, there will be 80’s inspired outfits so you can play dress-up while listening to iconic tracks.

And if you’re musically inclined, you can visit the music lounge and play the piano, guitar, or drums. Melvoin and Coleman will leave instructions on how to play the chorus of Purple Rain (and pre-recorded audio of Prince).

“The Purple Rain house stands as a tribute to our dear friend Prince, the timeless character he brought to life, and the lasting impact he continues to have. We hope the space gives fans a glimpse into the eclectic world Prince created, and visitors walk away feeling a little bit closer to him as an artist and person,” says Melvoin and Coleman.

Although the bedroom — which is decked out like The Kid’s room — might be enough for fans, Airbnb has whispered that there is a secret space accessible through a hidden door. There will be no instructions on how to access this, but it’s promised the room will be “filled with treasures,” which you’ll find out about if you answer seven clues correctly.

The Purple Rain house Airbnb will be available for a limited number of one-night stays, priced at $7 per person. Each stay will include exclusive access to the home, curated experiences, and the opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of Purple Rain.
