Cleveland is an iconic city that has been featured in a number of films. Spider-Man 3, Marvel’s The Avengers, and other incredible productions have used Cleveland as a backdrop. The most iconic, however, is doubtlessly A Christmas Story. Though set in Hohman, Indiana, Tremont and Downtown Cleveland make this cult classic feel… well, authentic. Today, the A Christmas Story House in Cleveland welcomes visitors to recreate that magic.
Arguably the greatest holiday movie of all time, A Christmas Story instantly captivated audiences when it premiered in 1983.
Ever since, A Christmas Story is featured in annual holiday movie marathons, on holiday merch, and in conversations. Adorable Ralphie Parker captivated audiences... but Clevelanders also couldn't help but notice their hometown in the background.
Purportedly, the team visited 20 cities before deciding to film in Cleveland... and we're so grateful that they did!
Our winter wonderland was captured in this irresistible holiday classic. From shots of Higbee's downtown (where Ralphie spots that darn Red Ryder BB Gun) to the parade in Public Square, you'll spot Cleveland all throughout this movie. You may also recognize, of course, the Parker's House.

Nowadays, Ralphie's house is restored and open to visitors as a museum... and an overnight destination!
The "Hound Dog Haven" suite on the first floor of the Bumpus House can sleep up to four guests, and the appropriately named "Stolen Turkey" suite on the second and third floors can comfortably sleep six.
But, of course, a stay in the A Christmas Story House is unbelievably magical.
Who wouldn't want to stay in this iconic home? Guests will cozy up in its third-floor loft, enjoying the use of the whole house an hour after the museum closes until 9 a.m. the next day.
Whichever home you decide to stay in, you will have so much fun recreating a classic movie.
Gaze adoringly at the leg lamp or exchange presents with your family! This iconic destination's interior was only used in a few scenes of the movie, but you'll feel like you've been there before as soon as you step over the threshold.
Rates vary depending on the package you choose, and both homes book up like crazy in the winter months.
Rates may be discounted if you plan ahead, so act fast to lock in the best deal possible.
You deserve something magical when you’re craving a getaway, so why not stay in the most magical home in Cleveland? There’s so much to love about this iconic Tremont home.
