Speak 'FRIEND' and enter ...

Welcome to Hobbits Rest, a truly magical escape unlike any other. Handcrafted thoughtfully into the hillside, this enchanting retreat feels like stepping into a storybook. Every detail, both inside and out, evokes a sense of wonder and whimsy, making it a perfect getaway for those seeking a bit of fantasy in their travels.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll be captivated by the charming, earth-integrated design that blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Inside, curved walls, wood-beamed ceilings, and cozy nooks create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The thoughtfully curated décor captures the spirit of adventure and
rustic comfort, while the amenities ensure you have everything needed for a relaxing stay.

Outside, meander through lush landscaping and enjoy peaceful moments taking in the beauty of the hillside setting. The entire space is surrounded by multiple streams, a waterfall, and a number of acres to enjoy. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee tucked into a cozy corner or stargazing under the clear night sky, Hobbits Rest promises an unforgettable experience filled with magic, tranquility, and a touch of wonder.

Come and let your imagination roam—there’s no place quite like Hobbits Rest!

Please do note that there are a couple of other homes on this property. One of them (Chateau de Prugna) is a fantastic lakeside home that may be rented as well and sleeps up to 9 people.

When in town, the caretakers stay from time to time to work on landscaping, maintenance, and property oversight, but will always respect your space and privacy.

Our pet-friendly policy means that you can bring your furry friend along for the adventure, with a $50.00 pet fee (maximum of 1 pet). Please note that failure to adhere to our house rules as they pertain to pets may result in cancellation of the booking with no refund.

Sleeping Arrangements:
The Hobbit House comfortably accommodates up to 2 adults with a cozy King bed. While there is an additional King bed above, it's positioned quite close to the ceiling and not recommended for use—hence the maximum occupancy of 2. That said, if you're traveling with a little one who might enjoy the adventure and can safely fit, you're more than welcome to make use of the space

No WiFi and with the sod roof no cell service in unit too. Conversation with manager regarding issue totally ignored issue! TV needed “your streaming service” but unusable without WiFi.

The check-in instructions didn’t give instructions on how to turn on the hot water. Had to call the management, which provided the instructions. The WFi didn’t work plus we didn’t have cell service. Had to go to town to be able to contact the management team. Also the check out instructions are in a digital document. Again no way to access them.

NOT a magical stay.

My family of 4 was so looking forward to staying in this Hobbit Hole and living out our LOTR fantasies. Sadly though, not even Bilbo would have stayed here. When arriving, the exterior of the hobbit hole was so beautiful and inviting, yet when we entered, that's when the heat of the Balrog hit us. We understand that it was a very hot day, but there was nothing to cool it down in there, not even a fan. We decided to open the one tiny window that could open to let air in and hoped that by evening it would have cooled off. Boy were we wrong. When we returned late that evening after dinner, it felt even hotter. The air outside felt twenty degrees cooler than in the home. While contemplating just leaving the front door open, we saw many spiders make their way in and thought better of it, for fear that Shelob might lay close behind. We were going to try to tough it out until my daughter tried to get in the top bunk of the bed. She could hardly fit, and she is hobbit sized! She had to shimmy in through the tiny space above the ladder, and then lay there with ceiling merely inches from her head. As I am a bit bigger than her and I was supposed to sleep up on the top bunk as well, I didn't even try for fear of getting trapped. After spending a sum total of about an hour in the home, we promptly grabbed our belongings and checked into a hotel. This home seems best suited for 2 people an a cold day!

Kitschy and Fun

The pictures do not lie, this is a hobbit home. Easy access to town but in quiet serene location. The property is fun to explore and fantastic if you are traveling with a pet. Clean and well stocked with amenities. We didn’t cook but there’s a small set up if you choose to. The local wine when we arrived was a thoughtful touch. We slept like a log, bed was comfortable. Bathtub was great after a day of hiking.

Fun place to stay for sure! It's nice to have a little novelty once in a while for where you rest your head on a trip. Just some things to know though so you are prepared. In the bathroom, the sink is like a tiny airplane sized sink and there is no shower just a bathtub. If you are like close to 6' tall or more, ceiling head clearance might be an issue with some of the beams. The metal frame bed is about as comfortable as it looks and the top bunk has very minimal space. Only like 3-5 year olds would fit. The kitchen is well appointed with microwave and fridge though water pressure at the faucet is not great. Just things to keep in mind when you're thinking about if this place is right for you.
