According to the listing, this is not a contest, and guests are responsible for their own travel to Chicago, and to the house (just make sure you don't accidentally count Mitch Murphy in the airport shuttle).
According to the Airbnb listing, the overnight stay is $25 plus tax.

What does the overnight stay at the Home Alone house include?
According to Airbnb, renters will enjoy an evening inside the McCallister house just as you remember it -- filled with Christmas decorations, booby traps, a candlelit dinner of highly nutritious microwavable macaroni and cheese, Kevin's dad's after shave, 90s junk food, "Chicago's finest pizza" and more.
Kevin's older brother, Buzz will be your host for the evening. He won't be accompanied by his girlfriend, but he will have his pet tarantula with him.
Head's up on the house rules: No pets, no smoking, no infants allowed.
The stay can accommodate up to four guests with two bedrooms and 1.5 baths. While some bathroom essentials will be provided, just make sure the toothbrush you bring is approved by the American Dental Association.
Airbnb says its closely monitoring Chicago infection rates and government policies, and will offer booking guests a $1,000 USD Airbnb travel credit if it becomes necessary to cancel the stay.
The one-night stay only costs $25 (Chicago's finest pizza included). The McCallisters won't be home, but their tarantula will. Ready to eat junk and watch rubbish, with nobody to stop you? You can live like Kevin McCallister at the original house from Home Alone now that Airbnb has listed it on its rental platform.
The one-night-only stay at the iconic McCallister movie house in the Chicago suburb of Winnetka takes place Dec. 12 and can host up to four guests. The price for the entire stay is $25 (plus tax), so you can keep the change, ya filthy animal.
The $25 stay will also include junk food, booby traps, a film screening and other holiday hijinks. Calling all fans of Christmas movie classics: The iconic house from the 1990 film Home Alone will be available to rent on Airbnb for one night only this holiday season.
A few years ago in 2021, AirBnB opened the mansion doors for a one-night-only stay hosted by none other than Kevin's older brother, Buzz. Other than that, there's no way to get inside unless you know the current owners. However, many fans still walk or drive by the house each year and take pictures of the exterior.
671 Lincoln Avenue instantly became a destination for fans of the movie, with hoards of tourists flocking to the home hoping for a little taste of movie magic. But it wasn't the McCallisters that had to put up with the newfound attention—it was the Abendshien family, who owned the home.
Solo travel can be daunting, especially when you're booking accommodation with an individual rather than directly through a company like you would at a hotel. But after all my unique Airbnb experiences, I think it's worth booking them even when I'm all alone. And booking for two makes me feel a little safer.
Safety issues can happen at any form of lodging, and Airbnb is generally considered safe. Just be aware that problems can arise, so be aware of scams, unethical practices and physical issues with properties.
The house in Uncle Buck is located around 5 miles away from the Home Alone house, while the house in Planes, Trains & Automobile is 2.3 miles away. Weirdly enough, the Uncle Buck house is located on Lincoln Street, while the Home Alone house is in Lincoln Avenue (the PT&A house is located on Oxford Road).
