Grey Gardens, the infamous East Hampton estate once home to two aging, eccentric relatives of First Lady Jackie Kennedy Onassis, is available as a holiday rental, the New York Post reported.

The property was immortalized in a 1976 film by Albert and David Maysles, which charted the everyday lives of the reclusive former socialites, Big Edie and Little Edie, who by that time were living in squalor.
