Is there a more comfortable place than a hobbit house? Between the second breakfast and the woodsy decor, it’s a cottagecore dreamland.
Did you know that with Airbnb and Vrbo you can bring your Tolkien fantasy to life?
Here are 7 actual hobbit holes you can book a stay at.
A Hobbit’s Paradise
If you’re looking for a stay straight out of a storybook, visit this hobbit house on The hill. The architecture and furnishings give the impression that the place was a recently used set in a JRR Tolkien film. It has the iconic circular gate and looks like it was built into the hill. The roof is covered with moss and grass, so you feel like you are entering a cozy underground oasis.
Take in the beauty of Vermont in a hobbit home the owners spent 6,000 hours designing and building.
A humble hobbit hole
If you’re looking to live a simple hobbit life, you’re in luck! This Lafayette, home of New York is a small hobbit-themed guesthouse on the edge of the woods. It is overgrown and almost looks like an extension of the forest. It’s 12×12 and has an outbuilding (which is also themed). And it’s cozy and cute and starts at just $75 a night.
Shenandoah County
If you are looking for the intersection of luxury and fantasy, take a look at this hobbit house. It doesn’t have the iconic circular doorway, but the round rooms and circular staircase give it that Middle-earth feel. It’s furnished to perfection, and it even comes with modern amenities like SiriusXM and Bluetooth connections.
Enjoy the wood burning fireplace, outdoor BBQ, fire pit, screened porch and hot tub. You don’t have to sacrifice modern conveniences for Lord of the Rings aesthetics. With this location, you can have both.
A hobbit hole worthy of an adventurer’s party
Although many hobbit houses have charm, they don’t have a lot of space to accommodate an entire clan of adventurers. This place is more of a hobbit house than a hobbit hole, and it doesn’t sacrifice hobbit aesthetics to make it spacious. It’s like a hobbit hole built with humans in mind. It is 4231 square feet, has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms to accommodate all your guests. The listing says it sleeps 16.
The best part? This is a handcrafted Earth Ship to make your stay sustainable. And the hot tub and pool aren’t a bad addition either.
While the average price is $710 a night, if you split the cost into 16 rides, you get a getaway for less than $50 each.
Underground Hygge along the Columbia River Gorge
A hobbit house isn’t really complete without breathtaking natural views right outside the circular front door. This hygge is just as beautiful as the nature that surrounds it.
Around the house you have 6 private acres to hike and explore. Little touches like a gorgeous cobblestone fireplace, circular doors, and a natural driftwood chess table make the home feel like it came straight from a movie set. From gardens to natural brand fences to rustic lamps, you’ll instantly feel right at home in your own fantasy world.
The artistic and rustic getaway
If you want to feel like you’re tucked away in New Zealand, but can only get to San Diego, this hobbit house has what you need. This list prides itself on being a place to unplug: ideal for die-hard Lord of the Rings fans or artists trying to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. You don’t have electricity, cell signal, or WiFi (but if you need to get online, you can walk 250 feet up the path to the main house to borrow some of their bandwidth).
You have a wood-burning fireplace and a built-in desk to really focus on your creative expression.
Nerd on the outside, Instagram on the inside
If you like the exterior hobbit hole aesthetic but don’t necessarily want the fantasy following you inside, check out the “Little corner” on Airbnb.
“Wee” is an accurate description; at just 360 square feet, it’s one of the smallest of the options. If you really want that cozy vibe for a personal getaway, this is a perfect choice. However, you don’t need to get stuck inside. The surrounding area is full of woods, farm animals, ponds, trails and much more to explore.
What’s next after your escape to The Hobbit House?
If you’re a huge Lord of the Rights fan, a hobbit house adventure would make for an amazing vacation. But it’s rare for people to belong to just one fandom. What theme will you choose for your next fantasy or sci-fi vacation?
With everything from Galaxy’s Edge at Disney World to a Sex in the City-themed brownstone, there’s no end to the journeys that satisfy your sense of fictional wonder.
