Our stay was too short to fully enjoy the property. We did use the hot tub - delightful. And we loved the small touches throughout. Best part was the seclusion. Next time we’ll have to plan a longer visit.

Amazing stay! This was my second time staying at the hobbit house. The house is absolutely perfect and has everything you need! We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen( haven’t used the outdoor grill yet) and relaxing on the couch watching movies. I enjoyed seeing the deer around the property and would drink my coffee watching the rabbits every morning. This trip came at a time where I needed to relax and this was the perfect place to stay. Thank you so much and we will definitely be back again!!

Amazingly close but so far away

I loved everything about this stay. The charm of a "Hobbit House" only 2 hours from my home was exceptional. The owners thought of all the details. The house was filled with magic and wizardry everywhere even cute miniature LOTR/Hobbit characters hidden in the walls. Then, the screened in porch and patio were perfect for morning coffee and 1st breakfast. So close to hiking, caverns and wineries, but yet you feel away from all the hustle that life fills you with. This home is a real gem and will be one of our faves forever.

Unique

Very nice, unusual cottage. Comfortable for two or three. Well maintained inside and out. Secluded, but in a community of cabins. Other cabins are not visible from the site. Surrounded by trees and undergrowth.. Whimsical objects all around. Nice covered and screened patio, gas grill, fire pit with wood supplied. Wood stove inside. Two floors, bedroom and main bath upstairs, half bath with unique potty downstairs. Small kitchen with pretty much everything you need. Do bring trash bags and your choice of coffee and teas.

Second Breakfast

This was our second stay at the Hobbit House. We enjoyed the cozy getaway with convenient access to Shenandoah National Park. Exploring during the day and coming back to a relaxing hot tub and fire was great. The hosts have provided many thoughtful touches. Listen to the recommendations on the listing—pack bug spray and a flashlight and you’ll be ready for adventure!

magical little spot in the woods

the hobbit house exceeded all expectations. this trip was a birthday surprise for my husband who loves anything hobbit or lord of the rings-related, and he was over the moon at all the little details that made this place on theme. we are already talking about coming back again! it was easy to cook, but the local food was excellent too.

Really clean, meticulous detail, everything was comfortable and cozy. I was so surprised. Felt like a high end hotel, but was this charming hobbit themed house. Also, the neighborhood is cool, with a pond and a nice kids play area just down the road.
