The entirety of Stranger Things season four has finally hit Netflix, and arguably one of the biggest stars from the latest installment of the sci-fi drama is the Creel House. The new creepy location is, in fact, a real Victorian-style mansion located in Rome, Georgia.

Built in 1882 at 906 E 2nd Ave SW, the home most recently operated as a bed and breakfast called the Claremont House until it was permanently closed in March of 2019. It was then purchased as a private property for $350,000 in July of that year, according to Zillow. The six-bedroom, seven-bathroom home is currently valued at $872,800 by the real estate marketplace.

By the time the Stranger Things locations team found the house, the owners had just closed on the sale a month beforehand and had plans to renovate it, according to Mashable. It turns out that the team was able to film there before any renovations began, which of course involved transforming the home into the abandoned Creel House we know and fear—featuring boarded up windows and overgrown landscaping. The home was eventually recreated for other shoots on sound stages, the outlet reports.

Like the Creel House in the show, the home is no place to go trespassing. You can admire the pristine structure from afar on a walk by, but don’t go running up the hill and bothering the owners. Luckily, there are plenty of other Stranger Things filming locations you can get a closer look at instead.
