Everything in the listing was as described! The home was warm and welcoming with a lot of creature comforts. We had to cut our trip short unexpectedly but would definitely rent this place again.
The view of the creek below was great. The Hobbit house was very unique and we loved that! We had one person in a wheelchair, so access was essential and it worked out perfectly. The host was very quick to respond. We would stay there again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Very quiet and comfortable accommodations. Our host was very helpful and so kind. Very easy to get to Banner Elk and close to Boone and Linville. Would highly recommend!
The Hobbit House is truly unique. The decor and furnishings are very nice, as well as he outdoor area. The river is more of a creek, but overall we really enjoyed our stay. We would definitely return.
We left upstate SC that was over 100 degrees and have had no rain in weeks! What a sweet escape to 75 degrees and light rain with intermittent sunshine! House was lovely and had great outdoor spaces.
We loved this neat hobbit themed house! The details were impressive. Very clean and comfortable! The river was fun and relaxing, my children enjoyed climbing on the rocks and wading in the water. I enjoyed the rocking chairs by the river. We hope to stay here again!
We had a great weekend trip fishing and relaxing in this cabin. There is quite a hillside you have to climb to get to the water but we could not have enjoyed the place more. The only negative was the timing of trees being cut down all day likely planned before our late booking.
Such a unique experience. Gave a weekend stay to my family of boys who love The Hobbit and anything adventure. The set up inside is so cozy and we loved having the fireplace outside. They really thought of everything to make our winter stay cozy and enjoyable. Enjoyed being close to the ski slopes as well so great location for that and some good restaurants nearby but feel somewhat secluded when youâre at the house which was nice.
We had a wonderful weekend at this location! The property was well stocked with linens, towels/washcloths, fire building materials, utensils and many other amenities. Our children loved the loft area with video games. I especially enjoyed the outdoor fireplace area with a TV and BBQ grill. We had great communication with our checkin and questions we had. Would highly recommend this location for anyone to try in the future!
This house is so unique and absolutely beautiful! There are so many more amenities than were listed, like heated bathroom floors, multiple hooks in every room (which was very helpful after a day of snowboarding), reclining leather sofas, etc. It is just so charming and inviting, we wanted to move in!
The Hobbit House is just as unique and interesting as the photos show! Loaded with all the amenities for a comfortable stay with tvâs in every room, games galore and our favoriteâŠ. The outside fireplace and kitchen.
We used it everyday and only cooked inside 1 morning.
We went post Helene and grocery stores were opened and a lot of hiking trails were in the stages of clearing. We loved Grandfather Mountain park, itâs worth the entry fee.
Adorable, awesome house!! The view, sound of the river, the cold water rushing over my feet while sitting on a river boulder and deer visits in the mornings were just what we needed!!
Weâll be back for sure!!
Hobbit Retreat was the perfect location for hiking the AT and for dining in Banner Elk. The sound of the river is wonderful from the outside seating areas, the kitchen was well-equipped and everything was clean and new!
Cute, quiet and peaceful. This house is not secluded but it sure feels like it when sitting on back porch listening to the river. There are not a lot of bells and whistles but what it does offer is relaxation. Taking a nice soaking bath, sitting down by the river or just waiting patiently for your burgers to grill, this small space delivers a big memory.

We had a lovely stay. This was our second trip, and even though we had one rainy day, we were able to enjoy our time together, culminating in eating dinner outside while enjoying a nice fire and watching the third Lord of the Rings movie. It was just cool enough to need a fire. All of us enjoyed it very much!
