For one weekend only, Airbnb is offering a one-time, two-night stay at a Malibu mansion decorated just like Barbie's iconic dollhouse. Naturally, the Malibu Dreamhouse is decked out entirely in pink, and includes high-end amenities such as an infinity pool, sport court, personal movie theater, and even a meditation space. The lucky winner of the weekend getaway will also be treated to the full Barbie experience, which includes time with celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin, a fencing lesson from medalist Ibtihaj Muhammad, and a cooking class with Gina Clarke-Helm.

Airbnb is opening up reservations on October 23 at 11 a.m. PDT, and the one-time weekend stay will be awarded to whoever is quick enough to book it first.
