Fun place to stay with great details that made it fun to explore. It wasn’t as secluded as the pictures made it seem but it was still really quiet

Kitschy and Fun

The pictures do not lie, this is a hobbit home. Easy access to town but in quiet serene location. The property is fun to explore and fantastic if you are traveling with a pet. Clean and well stocked with amenities. We didn’t cook but there’s a small set up if you choose to. The local wine when we arrived was a thoughtful touch. We slept like a log, bed was comfortable. Bathtub was great after a day of hiking.

I highly recommend you stay away from this listing. We stayed for less than 30 mins due to several reasons. There is a 2 inch gap between the door and the door jamb which was allowing freezing air into the unit. The temperature when we arrived was 51 degrees, with the sun going down in mid February, it was going to get much colder. There were 2 small space heaters for heating. The kicker was the ants in the bed. I attempted to work with the owners for a refund and enlisted VRBO as well to work in our behalf, but to no avail, the owners have refused us any form of reimbursement. We had driven 5 hours from the North Olympic Penisula and due to the condition of the unit we had to find alternative lodging for our 5 day stay. Please think twice before renting this place

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations. When your concerns were reported, we did offer to send someone out immediately to assess and address the issues; however, this was declined. The following day, our team conducted a full inspection of the property and did not find any evidence of bed bugs. All bedding, including sheets, pillows, and blankets, were found to be clean, and no concerns such as dead bugs or cobwebs were observed in the home. We always aim to resolve concerns as quickly as possible during a guest’s stay and encourage real-time communication so we can assist promptly. We appreciate your feedback and will continue working to improve our guest experience.

The check-in instructions didn’t give instructions on how to turn on the hot water. Had to call the management, which provided the instructions. The WFi didn’t work plus we didn’t have cell service. Had to go to town to be able to contact the management team. Also the check out instructions are in a digital document. Again no way to access them.

No WiFi and with the sod roof no cell service in unit too. Conversation with manager regarding issue totally ignored issue! TV needed “your streaming service” but unusable without WiFi.

Fun place to stay for sure! It's nice to have a little novelty once in a while for where you rest your head on a trip. Just some things to know though so you are prepared. In the bathroom, the sink is like a tiny airplane sized sink and there is no shower just a bathtub. If you are like close to 6' tall or more, ceiling head clearance might be an issue with some of the beams. The metal frame bed is about as comfortable as it looks and the top bunk has very minimal space. Only like 3-5 year olds would fit. The kitchen is well appointed with microwave and fridge though water pressure at the faucet is not great. Just things to keep in mind when you're thinking about if this place is right for you.

NOT a magical stay.

My family of 4 was so looking forward to staying in this Hobbit Hole and living out our LOTR fantasies. Sadly though, not even Bilbo would have stayed here. When arriving, the exterior of the hobbit hole was so beautiful and inviting, yet when we entered, that's when the heat of the Balrog hit us. We understand that it was a very hot day, but there was nothing to cool it down in there, not even a fan. We decided to open the one tiny window that could open to let air in and hoped that by evening it would have cooled off. Boy were we wrong. When we returned late that evening after dinner, it felt even hotter. The air outside felt twenty degrees cooler than in the home. While contemplating just leaving the front door open, we saw many spiders make their way in and thought better of it, for fear that Shelob might lay close behind. We were going to try to tough it out until my daughter tried to get in the top bunk of the bed. She could hardly fit, and she is hobbit sized! She had to shimmy in through the tiny space above the ladder, and then lay there with ceiling merely inches from her head. As I am a bit bigger than her and I was supposed to sleep up on the top bunk as well, I didn't even try for fear of getting trapped. After spending a sum total of about an hour in the home, we promptly grabbed our belongings and checked into a hotel. This home seems best suited for 2 people an a cold day!

I'm so happy I was able to stay at the Hobbit Rest! It was a cute little spot, with just a comfortable and welcoming vibe. The theme was my favorite with all the small details!
