The Hobbit House, inspired by none other than J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit, is your chance to live out those Middle-earth dreams. Equipped with a round door (yes, it’s iconic), natural rock walls, and gorgeous wood-beam ceilings, this enchanting hideaway will have you feeling like you’re Frodo’s next-door neighbor. Whether you’re a hardcore Lord of the Rings fan or a creative soul looking for some serious unplugged inspiration, this space is nothing short of a fairy tale brought to life.
The Space
Let’s talk about the setup – because the Hobbit House brings glamping to a whole new level of cozy. The queen-sized Murphy bed folds away to give you space during the day, so you can truly enjoy the rustic charm. You’ll find all the essentials for a simple stay: running water (yes, both inside and outside), a small closet for your wardrobe, and even a wood-burning fireplace. It’s the kind of place that’ll make you feel like you’re in your own little woodland paradise.
The built-in desk is perfect for journaling, sketching, or channeling your inner Tolkien while writing your next novel. And the rolling bar is fully stocked with cookware, glassware, and cutlery—everything you need for cooking up a feast. While there’s no fridge (this is off-grid, after all), a top-of-the-line YETI cooler and a block of ice will keep your essentials chilled.
Outside? Things get even more magical. You’ve got a propane BBQ for grilling under the stars, an on-demand hot outdoor shower (seriously, who doesn’t love a shower with a view?), and a fire pit where you can gather for s’mores or simply soak up the serenity of nature. The living roof is basically an extra lounge space—sit up there and take in the views, or just embrace the Hobbit vibes.
The Ultimate Unplug
Okay, here’s the deal: the Hobbit House is all about disconnecting. There’s no electricity, no WiFi, and no cell service here – just pure, blissful solitude. If you’re itching to check your Instagram feed, you’ll have to wander closer to the main house. But honestly, who needs screens when you’ve got this kind of ambiance?
Elevated Glamping
If you’re looking for the typical luxury amenities, this might not be the spot for you. But if you’re down for a bit of rugged charm with a dash of glam, the Hobbit House is calling your name. There’s no heating or cooling (although battery-powered fans are there to keep things comfy), and yes, it’s true—you might meet a few woodland creatures. Mice, ants, beetles—they’re part of the magic here, and we do our best to keep them outside, but hey, you’re in the middle of nature! If the thought of some critter company makes you squirm, this might not be your perfect escape. But if you’re game, it’s all part of the adventure.
What Else to Know
You’ll be parking at the main house, with a short (but scenic!) 250-foot walk to your little hobbit paradise. Just a heads up, if you’re bringing roller bags, the partially paved trail might be a bit tricky.
Pro tip: Summer months here can get hot, with July through October soaring into the 100-degree range. Don’t worry though – the Hobbit House stays a relatively cool 80 degrees, thanks to those battery-operated fans. But if you’re sensitive to heat, consider booking your stay in cooler months to avoid any weather-related discomfort.
