Fixer Upper may have come to an end last year, but the bubbly personalities behind the beloved HGTV series, Chip and Joanna Gaines, have helped create an impression with the homes that they flipped over forever.
While fans of the reality series might find themselves in awe of the gorgeous renovations from every episode, there is a way for so many to actually enjoy the magic of the series in real life thanks to some of the homes becoming rental homes for travelers, tourists and fans alike.

Barndominium
Probably the most non-traditional home that the Gaines’ tackled on the show, converting a 1,000 square-foot attic apartment, hay storage and horse stalls into a 2,700-square-foot, modern masterpiece.
Available at Homeaway.com for about $639/night, the house can sleep 20 and houses five bedrooms, a grand dining hall, a sitting area/den, kitchen and more.
Chicken House
The ranch-style home received an updated exterior to revive the dated look, extending the front porch and adding white wooden railings.
Joanna admitted during the episode that her favorite part of the house is the kitchen. The house is a renovated three-bedroom home, which sleeps seven and is available to rent on Airbnb for $750/night.
Harp House
“When we walked into the house for the first time we could tell the house had a rough history, but we wanted to bring new life into the space,” Joanna wrote on her blog. “It had been abandoned for several years and was filled with trash, dilapidated floors and walls, and even rats.”
Available on Airbnb at a rate of $550/night, the five-bedroom apartment can sleep 12, making it the “perfect [home] for couples, families, big groups and retreats.”
Hooper House
This ’30s home was the basis for the first episode of Fixer Upper, kickstarting a wonderful story for Gaines family fans.
After an extensive renovation to return the 2,800-square-foot home to its former glory, the five-bedroom, 4.5 bath home is now available for $417/night and can accommodate about 12 guests.
Mid-Mod House
This mid-century modern home went through site an extensive transformation, including an exterior overhaul and creating more space inside.
Available on Airbnb at about $300, the three-bedroom, two bath home now flaunts that the “property features a stunning view of the woods, a pergola covered patio with grill, an open floor plan, a beautiful state-of-the-art kitchen,” according to the listing.
School House
The Waco house had “good bones, spacious floor plan and its big backyard,” Joanna wrote. “All it needed was a little character and updating.” To that end, the renovation included tearing down a wall to open up the front of the house to the rear to create a large, open space incorporating the living room, dining room and kitchen.
Available for $278/night, the four-bedroom home can accommodate seven, described as a a perfect place for entertaining.
Shotgun House
The 72-square-foot shotgun-style home was a big challenge for Chip and Joanna — including having to move it to another property.
While it may seem small, the inside is nothing if not spacious, and currently renting around $325/night on Airbnb. “We installed wood floors and beautiful floor length windows, this space didn’t feel cramped in the least,” Joanna writes. “We removed the wall that separated the living to the bedroom and converted this existing bedroom into the kitchen.”
Mailander House
Originally built in the 1900s, Chip and Joanna transformed what was an outdated home and brought it back to life during the first season of Fixer Upper.
The charming three-bedroom home is a popular rental in the area for Airbnb, listed at $250/night.
