We loved the halfling house. The overall impression was awe-inspiring, but as we soaked in the little details, the richness just deepened. Nothing failed to transport us to Middle Earth: the architecture, furniture, the curtains, the dishes, the fixtures. Every little decoration tickled me, from the books, to the games, to the light switch plates, to the figurines. Amazing! We watched the LOTR trilogy, cooked some hobbity meals, and dressed up in costumes the host has available for pictures. This trip was one of the coolest things we’ve ever done.

I stayed in Nauvoo for 5 nights. Two nights at the Hobbit house and three nights at another place. We only stayed two nights at the Hobbit house because it was so much more expensive. If I had to plan again I would spend the extra and stayed all week. It was all on one level, way cleaner, and had a huge comfortable tub. The charm of the place was sensational. We watched Lord of the Rings in the coziest environment EVER! We brought our daughter who loves the Hobbit movie and she squeezed with delight. The framing / doors / hardware were a work of art.

We had so much fun here! There were so many cute details and we loved how close it was to Nauvoo. The kids loved looking for fuzzy caterpillars in the grass.

My family loved our stay at the hobbit hole. The details on the home were incredible. My kids loved dressing up and using the curtains to put on shows. The location was great as well. We had timely responses from the owner and the house was supplied well.

Amazing location

My wife and I stayed here for our Anniversary. This place was amazing, the pictures alone don't come close to showing how beautiful and great this place truly is. When I first came upon this place it was still under construction. I sent the owner a message to keep me updated on new pictures, which they did. They were also able to accommodate a last minute family emergency. I have shared this location to friends and family and I can't wait to stay at this location again in the future!

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!
