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!

Summer Break

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.

Quick getaway

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.

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!

Nice weekend getaway

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!

Clever

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.
