About the Work

During the 2021 holiday season, Dr. Seuss Enterprises & Vacasa teamed up to let guests book the ultimate holiday stay in the Grinch’s very own cave.

We completely immersed guests in the world of the Grinch by transforming a 5,700 square-foot, hand-carved cave into a shockingly accurate recreation of the Grinch’s magical, multi-level residence.

A kitchen stocked with roast beast, Who-pudding, and an emergency stash of Who-hash. A music room featuring the Grinch's organ and even Max’s drum set.

We outfitted the entire cave with all of the Grinch's gadgets; his over-the-top coffee machine, armoire with green furry pants, a full-body brush, and all the kitchen supplies one would need to host a proper FEAST! FEAST! FEAST!

And for the guests who weren’t able to book the stay within seconds of the listing going live, we captured the cave in 3D so fans could take an interactive tour.

Not only did a lot of people want to stay in the cave… a lot of people heard about it too.

The activation was featured in 518 publications, resulting in 1,262,156,997 impressions. All within 8 days of the initial announcement.
