Perfect little getaway
We stumbled on this property last minute for just one night. We normally book larger cabins but enjoyed the novelty of staying in this little house. Close to everything we needed to do. Bigfoot Cheesesteaks was REALLY good and less than 2 mins away. Even had a small wasp incident that was handled immediately. Would stay here again. Kids loved the hobbit inspired decor.

Getting in touch with your inner hobbitt
I just introduced my girls (20 yrs old and 11 yrs old) to the Lord of the Rings trilogy. They loved it as much as I do. We visit the area yearly at Christmas time so when I came upon Mountain Shire, I knew I had to stay. There were 4 people and one Westie and we never felt cramped. Extremely good use of space, very clean and comfortable. Made a little fire with wood provided, enjoyed hot cocoa, and began the Hobbitt trilogy. Enjoyed watching nature out of the picture window. We had elf ears and took some cute pictures down in the gardens and at the hobbitt wall. Just as advertised. Conveniently located to the Parkway. Definitely would recommend Mountain Shire. The other hobbitt homes looked just as welcoming as ours. Certainly well taken care of. Spending Christmas day there was just magical.

Valentines Retreat
My husband and I spent the weekend at the Mountain Shire for some peaceful mountain and quiet time. It was just the ticket! This little hobbit hole was adorable and we had a blast. We will come back for sure! It was near enough to the attractions without being right in our teeth and still have the quietness we wanted.Thanks Justin! :3

Great little house in a quiet location.
Everything about the house was nice except it wasn't as private as it appeared online. There are 2 other tiny houses within 20ft of either side of this one. It wasn't a deal breaker at all and in the warmer months would give you a chance to meet some people. So again it's a great little place, just be warned you can't be too loud for the sake of others.
