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!

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.

Perfect for my family's winter getaway

We travelled to NC to celebrate my dad's birthday and hit the ski slopes, and this house was the perfect place for our stay! The hobbit theme is beautifully executed, the place was spotless and welcoming, the surrounding scenery is relaxing, and it's only 20 min from Beech Mountain! 100% would stay here again :)
