    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 home was absolutely beautiful. It was much larger inside than it appeared in the pictures. I was a perfect spot for my husband and I and our two children to stay at while skiing at Beech Mountain.

    The entire experience exceeded our expectations. Everything we wanted and needed was in the home and in great shape. Despite an arctic blast, we still enjoyed access to the river and the trout that inhabit the backyard, all of which were still swimming when we left. Perfect family holiday for us, Thank you for sharing.

    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!

    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 you’re 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!

    The Hobbit House is just as unique and interesting as the photos show! Loaded with all the amenities for a comfortable stay with tv’s in every room, games galore and our favorite…. 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, it’s worth the entry fee.
