"As the last standing location in the world, our Blockbuster store is an ode to movie magic, simpler times and the sense of community that could once be found in Blockbuster locations around the world," the Airbnb listing reads. "Over the past few months, we've been missing the regular visits from friends, neighbors and tourists from around the world. So, we're opening our store to three quarantine pods of Deschutes County guests for a socially-distanced movie night, just like those of decades past." On Aug. 17 at 1 p.m. PT, Deschutes County residents can book a sleepover in the store for one night only on either Sept. 18, 19, or 20. Each booking allows for up to four people. Each night will cost just $4. Guests staying in the store will have access to the entire store, which will be cleaned prior to "arrival in accordance to Airbnb's Enhanced Cleaning Protocol which his informed by recommendations from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention." Guests will be given face masks, disinfectant wipes, and hand sanitizer as well.

"Our Blockbuster store is open because of the incredible local community in Bend, and we've been grateful to have the support of those beyond our town as the coronavirus pandemic has impacted our business," the Airbnb listing reads. "To celebrate and pay it forward in this tradition of support, Airbnb will make a donation to the Humane Society of Central Oregon, a longtime partner of ours."
