About this property

Nestled high on the bank of the Beautiful Elk River, there lies a 1,500 sq. ft. Hobbit Retreat carved into the hillside amid the Poplar trees. Enjoy spectacular views of the Elk River and be mesmerized by the white noise as it cascades over the bus-size boulders below the house. You can almost fish for the fabled rainbow trout from the living room or either bedroom, but there are plenty of good spots on the bank below. When the fair winds blow enjoy a real fireplace inside or on the covered outdoor living area, complete with a built-in gas grill, sink and 50" TV. Both bedrooms and foyer have 50" Samsung smart TVs and the living room's is 65". The play loft has a 40" Samsung smart TV with a PS4. The kitchen is stocked with everything needed for a banquet: a gourmet Zline range, double door fridge, wine (or beer) fridge, slow cooker, presto pot, toaster oven, programable coffee maker, and all the dishes. Or choose to cook outside on the built-in Bull-Stallion gas grill.

Happy family of 3.

Unique awesome cabin close to everything. Beautiful trout river right in the backyard. We had a great time here and will be back soon. My wife and son didn’t want to leave. The hobbit house with the heated bathroom floors gets 5 stars from us.

Unique & comfy on a rushing river

Fun, easy to slide into comfort. Truly just 2 lovely bedrooms with king size bed, the loft hardly qualifies except for kids or an easy to please adult, so, a little interesting for 4 adult women; we did ok. Living area cozy. Cool outside spaces, but we had lots of rain, so lotsa games, good food & drink. Thanks.

The best 16th Birthday Ski Trip!

My husband took our son for a weekend ski trip with a few of his friends. Another dad went with them...EVERYONE (including the teens) had nothing but great things to say about the trip. The boys had a blast fishing in the creek. Loved spending a day at Sugar Mountain. Property wasn't far at all! Communication was GREAT! Will 100% book this property again!

Thanksgiving with family

We had a lovely time in this fun, truly accessible cabin. My mom was able to move about freely. I loved the kitchen and all of its amenities and my kids loved the loft space and the creek outside.

One of the best

It was one of the best places we stayed in. The place was renovated, clean and beautiful. Convenience was a plus with nearby grocery stores and restaurants. Teresa's kindness and effective communication enhanced our experience.

About the host

Why they chose this property

We own a cabin at the top of the mountain on the same property (also on VRBO # 1207941) and have always loved this beautiful riverfront spot. We wanted a house that would not detract from the idyllic riverside setting, so what better than a round Hobbit House!

What makes this property unique

The moment you drive up to this cottage you start to feel enchanted. Step through the 7ft tall round door into the foyer and you'll be wowed by the scale and the attention to detail. The concrete walls built in to the side of the mountain shut-out the noise of the outside world while the windows on the river side let-in the light and open on the spectacular beauty of the river. Enjoy a book on one of the large rockers on the side porch overlooking the river. The rest of the story is what you make it.
