About this property

Cozy Hobbit House on Bainbridge island!

“In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.”-J.R.R. Tolkien

You don’t have to go to New Zealand to stay in a hobbit house! Hand-built by our family, this cozy in-hill cabin located in the lower area of our property is something right out of a Tolkien novel. Very LGBTQ+ And BIPOC friendly.

This one room Hobbit Hole has everything in it's 7.5x15.5' (cozy): Comfy convertible bed/couch complete with linens, a small table with 2 chairs for playing games and eating, puzzles, games, snacks, hot water kettle, coffee maker, bluetooth speaker, electric fireplace, books, sketchpad with colored pencils, and more! A rustic wooden floor (with some paint splatters) and a braided rug give you a feeling of comfort and home. On site we have a private portable bathroom complete with hand-washing station, and an outside combination fire pit and charcoal barbecue with a grill top and s’mores sticks provided so you can cook over a wood fire or coals! And an outdoor table and chairs that are super comfortable!

The house itself is heated, insulated, and has working electricity/outlets for computer or phone charger. Clean bedding and pillows provided, washed in fragrance-free detergent between each guest. We provide a full water jug with spigot, hot water kettle, teapot, assorted teas, an empty growler to use, 2 pint glasses and 2 mugs. Private area of the yard with plenty of room to relax. We have a disc golf goal and discs to use as well.

Firewood is available for purchase onsite for $10/milk crate full. This comes with a kindling kit. Territorial views of the tree line and sunset views to die for! We are located near Meigs Park as well as a 10-minute walk from Manitou beach and an easy bike ride to the ferry that goes to Seattle! 2 miles from the Grand Forest and 3 miles from Battle Point park. We are exactly 3 miles from the ferry terminal in a convenient mid-island location.

NEED TO KNOW (managing expectations):A note on the bathroom: the hobbit hole is small and will not fit a bathroom or plumbing. Your nearby private portable restroom is cleaned thoroughly between each guest and serviced (pumped out) weekly. We consider our listing to be “glamping”. Also our property borders a local 2 lane highway and you can expect road noise mostly during the day and evening. While it is a private setting you can expect to hear the road. Weekends and evenings it is quieter, and when the door is closed it is quiet.

The Hobbit House is suitable for 2 guests or 2 adults and a small child that can share the bed. The bed is a queen size, and we can't allow sleeping on the floor as the door opens inwards and is a safety concern. However, additional guests are welcome to bring a tent and camp outside, for $20/tent, up to 6 additional guests or 2 tents, whichever is smaller. Let me know when you are booking that you'd like to bring additional guests and we will adjust the costs accordingly.

Lovely Quiet Getaway
I was looking for a short time away after the busy holiday weekend. I own a small biz, so between family and black friday/small biz saturday, I knew I would need some solitude. This adorable little hobbit house was exactly what I needed. It was perfect for just little ol me. The host even left me some delicious homemade cookies! It was very cold, but the electric fireplace kept the space toasty warm. Some tea, a good book, and a little nest made up on the futon and I was a happy gal. Everything was clean and self-explanatory. I will definitely keep this in mind the next time I need a little break from the world.

Perfect Glamping Spot on Bainbridge Island
My partner and I spent a couple nights in the lovely Hobbit House as part of our anniversary trip to the area. This labor of love was the perfect homebase for our time on the island. The hosts have created a perfectly cozy spot to rest and recharge with an incredibly comfortable bed (it's like a flannel cloud). We enjoyed treats from local bakeries (Panne d'Amore and Blackbird) and truly excellent poke from Hi Life. This is a glamping experience for sure - with its own dedicated (and well maintained) outhouse. The hosts have taken great care to light the pathway for guests and they also provide video links with directions and instructions to make your stay seamless and enjoyable. We're so happy to have had this unique experience as part of our anniversary!

A big child’s dream!!!
Very nice! A different type of feel. Sort of like when I was a kid w my imagination trying to build a “fort.” Far better than a fort though, but it reminded me of those days, just having fun w no cares in the world. Absolutely loved it. Cookies were awesome.

I am a traveler and adventurer settled on the island where I grew up. As a northwest native I can tell you all about the area and give lots of travel tips! my daughter Rose is currently in college in Worcester, Mass and is slowly adopting the Boston accent!

Why they chose this property

Built as a playhouse by Rose, her friends, and my dad doing the heavy building, this Hobbit House is now run by us as a vacation rental. It supports Rose in college as she pursues her Robotics engineering degree. It's been a joy to share with hundreds of guests!

What makes this property unique

Photo ops galore! We also have a disc golf goal and discs available. Relax and watch the prettiest sunsets around!
