Our family friendly bedrooms are comfortable for up to 8 when the full size suspended bed & twin upper bunk is used. Otherwise, forget the suspended bed & upper bunk and the bedrooms are great for 6 adults (2 per bedroom) who want more private sleeping arrangements! Smart TVs in every bedroom plus living area. Ultra fast WIFI and Xfinity Cable. Fully stocked open concept kitchen includes coffee, tea, creamer, sugar and Splenda in addition to Olive Oil and most cooking Spices. We even supply insulated cups to keep your beverages cold! Indoor dining seats 8. Playstation 4 and multiple board games available for rainy days! Speaking of rainy days, there is a 12 x 16 screened gazebo on the deck with outside dining, a propane fire table & conversation area along with a propane grill (propane included for the fire table and grill). Private swimming deck with lounge chairs to relax in the sunshine! 9 x 12 swim mat, noodles, floats and life vests are all available at no charge or bring your favorite floats and fill them up with our onsite compressor!

Please note: Hobbit House has reduced ceiling heights in the kitchen and lower level bathroom. If you’re taller than 6’2”, you may want someone else to cook!

There is a 2024 Pontoon available to rent at an extra charge discounted for guests who rent our home! Boat fee is $400.00/day discounted to $368.00/day for our guests. Rentals for 3 days or more are discounted even further! Our boats are for rent to experienced boaters only but we also have a Captain's Tour package available so you can enjoy your time on the water and the SANDBAR without a care in the world!
