Calling all the Whos!

Here is your chance to stay in the Grinch’s very own cave for Christmas.

Perched high up on a mountain in Boulder, Utah, is a 5,700-square-foot lair guests can explore.

Each room is a nod to the Grinch’s original home from the iconic Dr. Seuss book “How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” — and the TV and film incarnations it inspired.

The 1957 book about a grumpy hermit who lives on the outskirts of town — where he hatches a plan to steal Christmas from the Whos of Whoville — has spawned, most notably, a classic 1966 TV special and Ron Howard’s 2000 feature film starring Jim Carrey and Taylor Momsen.

The residence, hand-carved on the side of a massive stone mountain, will be available to rent between Dec. 13 and 27 at only $19.57 a night, a nod to the year the book was first released.

This very specific tourist attraction includes the famous music room — complete with the Grinch’s organ and his dog Max’s drum set.

And in true Grinch isolationist fashion, there is no internet or TV.

Theodor Seuss Geisel — aka Dr. Seuss — is one of the most beloved children’s book authors of all time. From “The Cat in the Hat” to “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!,” his beloved characters, stories and two-ink art style have been a lasting influence on generations of children and adults.
