Dr Seuss Enterprises teams with Vacasa to create the Grinch’s famous cave

Dr. Seuss Enterprises is teaming up with Vacasa, North America’s leading vacation rental management platform, to create the Grinch’s famous cave. The story of How the Grinch Stole Christmas! will be brought to life for a limited time, giving holidaymakers the chance to experience the Grinch and his dog Max’s home like never before.

Travellers can book the Grinch’s infamous cave (located “Three thousand feet up, Up the side of Mt. Crumpit”) on Vacasa.com starting from 3 December for stays leading up to the Christmas holiday from Dec. 13­–23. The cave is set just outside Boulder, Utah, on a beautiful, remote property. The nightly rate for a stay will be $19.57* in honour of the book’s original release in 1957.

The Grinch’s rocky residence is within a hand-carved cave on the side of a mountain. Designers have decked the halls of this multi-level 5,700 square-foot lair with everything a Grinch fan could imagine: there’s a kitchen stocked with roastable beast, Who-pudding, and an emergency stash of Who-hash. A music room includes the Grinch’s organ alongside Max’s drum set leading into the study, main bedroom, guest bedroom, and more. Everywhere they go, visitors will be completely immersed in the world of the Grinch. Even more, the house is outfitted with all of Grinch’s gadgets; his over-the-top coffee machine, armoire with green furry pants, and all the kitchen supplies one would need to host a festive FEAST! FEAST! FEAST!

True to the much-loved Dr. Seuss tale, the cave will have all the details that make the Grinch’s Mt. Crumpit home so iconic. When asked why he won’t be at the cave to greet visitors, the Grinch commented, “I just don’t really want to. Now go away.”

Grinch fans staying at the Grinch’s cave will have the added benefit of Vacasa’s 24/7 guest support and elevated home care. Just like every other Vacasa vacation rental, the Grinch’s cave will be professionally cleaned and cared for by a dedicated local team, so guests can pack up their snoof, and their tringlers and fuzzles and enjoy a worry-free stay.

Interested visitors are encouraged to visit vacasa.com/Grinch for a 3D tour of the cave, and to mark their calendars for booking release times—the limited stays are expected to fill immediately.

*$19.57 nightly rate does not include local lodging tax.

Dr Seuss Enterprises expands European licensing programme and makes first mark in Slovakia

New partnerships across Germany, Slovakia, and Albania have seen Dr Seuss Enterprises expand its licensing portfolio across Europe, as the company continues to build momentum around properties including How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Oh, the Places You’ll Go, and Happy Birthday to You.

Under the slate of new partner signings, the portfolio will span multiple categories such as book publishing, kitchenware, and gift items.

Thalia, one of Germany’s largest bookstore chains, has increased its product offerings in 2020 to include snow globes, cereal bowls, plates, slippers, plush Grinches, socks and kitchen towels. Thalia decided to expand its offerings in 2020 due to the success they had with the 2019 How the Grinch Stole Christmas! program.

Last year its offerings included post-it notes, metal buttons, enamel pins, gift bags, gift tags, gift boxes, cookie tins, ornaments, mugs, napkins and travel tissue packs.

Meanwhile, Verbarium Publishing will be releasing How the Grinch Stole Christmas! in Slovakia. This is a new publisher for Dr. Seuss Enterprises and marks the first time that one of its books will be published in the Slovakian market.

Alongside this, Botart Publishing House – who has been a publisher of Dr. Seuss titles since 2015 – will be adding Happy Birthday to You! and Oh, the Places You’ll Go! to its list of titles. These two books will be published in Albania in addition to the other five titles they have already published there.

Susan Brandt, president of Dr. Seuss Enterprises, said: “The Dr. Seuss portfolio continues to resonate throughout Europe and we’re looking forward to bringing our fans new products and books that enable them to continue to engage with their favourite stories and characters within our portfolio.”
