Her name is Lucy, and she's a 65-foot-tall wooden elephant. 
Lucy the Elephant is an iconic Jersey Shore attraction, and now she can be booked on Airbnb. It will be the first time Lucy has opened her doors to overnight guests in over a century. 
Insider spoke to Lucy's Airbnb host Richard Helfant, who began volunteering for her 50 years ago, to learn about her incredible 138-year history, find out which US president has paid her a visit, and discover how she went from a rowdy tavern to an American legend. 
Lucy is older than the Eiffel Tower and Statue of Liberty, surviving a fire, storms, and hurricanes. 
 
Lucy's interior has been refurbished to reflect her Victorian-era origins, and guests will also be treated to surprises from local chefs and bakeries.
