A Hobbit's Life
This was a great place to binge watch the Hobbit movies, munch on some Hobbit food, and relax. There was even the possibility of seeing the Northern Lights, but it didn't pan out. It was peaceful and fun! A real adventure!!

Beautiful hobbit hole!
We enjoyed our stay in the halfling house. My husband and I and our 8 kids filled the space. It is themed very well and will stocked. We stayed only 1 night as we were passing through and my kids loved it! There are costumes to dress up in and even an old fashioned key that unlocks the round door. I will be recommending this cute house to everyone!
