Yabba dabba do take a look at this real-life house that looks like it belongs in the animated show.
In the western Mexican state of Jalisco, in the popular resort town of Maxamitla, there is an overnight lodging straight out of the stone age.
Known as Pebble Cottage, the cabin has recently gone viral for being “an exact replica” of Fred and Wilma Flintstone’s home on the beloved Hanna-Barbera-produced 1960s cartoon sitcom “The Flintstones,” according to Jam Press.
The short-term rental-adaptation of the drawn family’s ABC-broadcasted abode can accommodate up to eight people and even boasts a running-powered Flintmobile.
The emphasis is on realism over schlock, however, and there is no “Flintstones” merchandise or plaques announcing the inspiration for the uniquely sand-colored villa in sight.
The owner, the artist Agustín Álvarez, has long worked with stone and helped construct the compound, TimeOut Mexico City reported.
Indeed, those unfamiliar with the show might not realize the domicile is anything more than an odd, khaki-colored architectural decision.
Spread over two levels there are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, a dining room, a terrace and a fireplace, as well as an outdoor grilling area.
The property reportedly costs around $4,000 for two-night weekday stays and $5,000 for two-night weekend ones.
To book, call (33) 3498-6497.

Opinions aside, the West Coast address certainly took a very different route towards paying homage to Pebbles and the gang than its Mexico counterpart.
Indeed, where Pebble Cottage chose a consistent sandstone aesthetic, the Hillsborough, CA home went for a colorful, purple and brown facade situation not to mention a sprawling tiered lawn full of dinosaur statues.
