Attention your 10-year-old-self: Valhalla has just emerged from the aether.

Buy Now has partnered with Hasbro and Nerf to offer an action-packed getaway complete with lakeside and battle gear. Located on the shore of Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees in Oklahoma, the rentable vacation home comes fully stocked with Nerf blasters, gear, a bucket ball, toys and water trampoline games. And the enemy comes from within.

The house sleeps up to 30 people in its 12 bedrooms, five living areas and wraparound decks.

“Vrbo is the go-to for families. Working with Nerf to inspire family fun and active play, we hope to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience and lasting memories,” Vrbo vice president of global brand marketing Lish Kennedy said. “We can’t think of a better place to squeeze in one last bit of summer fun before the season ends.”

As an added claim-to-fame bonus, the lake house functioned as the Nerf House Squad quarters and action battleground for the new season of the “Nerf House Showdown” series on YouTube. Following the premiere of the 35-episode series, which showcased exhilarating competitive challenges, this is the first opportunity for families to stay and enjoy the lake house and foam equipment. 

Boasting waterfront views, the property offers plenty of space for families to spread out and enjoy all things Nerf. An array of deck toys offers action and ambushes close to the water. The patio and dock also feature Nerf scooters and Go-Karts for mobile quests. The arrayed living areas can also be transformed into the settings for plastic blasters and come armed for action. And lucky crashers can claim one of several select themed bedrooms for rest with one eye open, ready for the next skirmish.

“We’re thrilled to work with Vrbo to provide one lucky family with the ultimate Nerf experience!” said Teresa Pearson, vice president global brand strategy and marketing at Hasbro. “Nerf is more than just toys – it’s a lifestyle. As our fans know, it’s ‘Nerf or Nothin’!”

Families who are interested in the action should mark your calendars. The Nerf house will be available to book starting at noon CST on Wednesday, Sept. 1 for a stay from Sept. 24 through 26 for $100 per night. The booking is first come, first serve so get those to do lists loaded.

This luxury all-inclusive resort in Florida feels like the Caribbean—no passport needed
A little taste of paradise nestled in the Florida Keys
Bungalows Key Largo

Over the past few years, I've stayed at various all-inclusive resorts in popular tropical destinations, such as Punta Cana and St. Lucia. No matter which resort you go to and which destination you pick, relaxation is a universal theme across all-inclusive resorts. All-inclusive resorts are a popular choice for travelers who don't want to be bothered to take out their credit card all day long and who want to lie poolside or beachside for the majority of the day.

There's something to be said about the luxury and convenience of an all-inclusive resort, but they're tough to find domestically. I set out on a trip to the Bungalows Key Largo to try my first-ever U.S. all-inclusive resort experience, delivering a similar atmosphere to Caribbean and Mexico all-inclusive resorts -- yet no passport required. Here's what my stay was like and why I'd do it again.
