Hobbit Hideaway - Do Something Different!

Trek back from Mordor and retire to a full kitchen, AC/heat, queen bed, pullout couch w/ new memory foam pad, washer/dryer, shower and more. Enjoy the patio where you can be the lord of the fire ring, grill PO-TAY-TOES, enjoy the swing, hammock, horseshoes, axe throwing, games and more. Located 12 min from beautiful Traveler’s Rest, where you can run/bike your little hobbit heart out on the Swamp Rabbit trail. Also 30 min from downtown Greenville.

Had everything I needed for the weekend. Kitchen had everything I needed to cook all of my meals. Outside had the grill and the fire pit to relax around. A lot of cool nature spots and hiking all within 30 mins.

A Perfect Few Days Away!

My husband and I had a wonderful time spending a few days in the dome! It is in a great location- about ten minutes from Traveler's Rest, 30-45 minutes from great hiking spots, and 45 minutes from downtown Greenville. The property felt secluded, and we enjoyed making use of all the amenities. We were able to bring our two dogs without issue! Definitely will be staying here again!

Fantastic getaway!

Although we were only at the hobbit home for less than 24 hours, we made the best of it! We stopped here on our travels back to Michigan, from spring break. It was so clean and well kept. Our teenage boys really enjoyed the outdoor activities, especially the axe throwing and ring toss. We would absolutely stay her again! Thank you!!

Way better than a hotel

My dogs and I spent 3 days relaxing at the Hobbit House. We all loved our stay, it’s so cozy. The place feels private, no close neighbors. It’s a relaxing getaway and I will definitely be back.

Cute quiet place

The place is quiet and comfortable. We didn’t use the kitchen but the bed was comfy and everything was clean. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful. We weren’t there long so we didn’t get down to the creek or enjoy the nice outside setup. The only downside is there are some trailers and homes in the area that have seen better days but we never felt unsafe.

This place is very unique for sure. Inside is snug but worked well for our family of 4. The outside is very nice with the fire pit and swing and built in games. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely recommend you try it out.

Hobbit Hideaway, the perfect retreat

This is a gem of a place. Quaint, quiet, relaxing and full of charm inside and out. Our dog Maxwell loved the cozy feel and felt right at home. Great location near everything. We can't wait to make this our home away from home when heading to the mountains!
