About this property

Nestled in a hill, surrounded by woodland, Hobbit Hollow is a one-of-a-kind getaway. The interior is beautifully crafted, comfortable and cosy. Though small, Hobbit Hollow has everything you need.

15 minutes away from Red River Gorge, this location offers access to rock climbing, hiking, swimming, canoeing, and the unforgettable beauty of the Gorge. Hobbit Hollow is only a 5-minute drive from the town of Stanton, providing amenities like grocery stores, places to eat, local shopping, and more.

Please note that the driveway up to the Hobbit House is steep and rugged. Two-wheel drive will make it up fine most of the time (except in inclement weather i.e. very heavy rain or snow and ice) but it is bumpy at the best of times. Take the driveway slow and steady until you see Elderberry cabin, and then give your car some speed to get it up the last stretch to the Hobbit House which is the steepest part.

Adorable cabin

This was the perfect little cabin. I even loved the selection of books! It was cozy and close to all the hiking I wanted to do. Their restaurant suggestions were great. I would also recommend Loma in Winchester, which was a little drive but amazing food. Rachel was great with communication. I am looking forward to my next visit.

Perfect for people who just want quiet & to relax

Loved this Hobbitt House. Super unique & up in the woods. Perfect for getting away from our hectic life pace. We mostly just relaxed and took the time to recharge. Very quiet & owners really thought of about everything to make it a pretty comfortable stay. The biggest issue we had was re-learning how to sleep in a full size bed together. LOL!

About the host

Hosted by Rachael Bates

Rachael and Simeon live in Stanton, KY with their daughter, Shola. Rachael is a potter by trade and Simeon is a carpenter. Together, they built Elderberry Cabin and Hobbit Hollow. They are both keen runners and enjoy the trails in the Red River Gorge along with the many swimming spots and beautiful views.

What makes this property unique

Hobbit Hollow is built into a hill like a true hobbit house from Tolkien's world. The green roof helps insulate the interior, reducing Hobbit Hollow's carbon footprint. Also, because it's built into the earth, Hobbit Hollow benefits from geothermal heating during the winter and cooling during the summer. We wanted this place to be as eco-friendly as possible, a home in the earth and for the earth.
