Where is the actual Lodge from Christmas movie?

You're likely thinking of the classic holiday movie, "A Christmas Story." The iconic "Ralphie's house" and "the house with the bunny suit" is actually not a real house. It's a movie set built on a soundstage in Los Angeles, California.

The house was originally constructed for the movie and later demolished. The film's production team used a real home in Cleveland, Ohio, as a stand-in for the exterior shots of the family's home, however, the majority of the interior shots were filmed on the soundstage.

So, while you can visit the Cleveland home (known as the "Parker House"), you can't visit the actual house that you see in the movie. The iconic scenes and the house itself are part of movie magic, forever preserved on film.
