Magical from the moment we pulled up to the Hobbit House! Nothing was overlooked! Every nook held a hidden treasure. The house was clean with lovely, unique decorations. The hot tub and backyard were relaxing and well maintained. The communication was timely and appreciated. We look forward to returning to the shire again.

We had such a great time. It was such a cute little place and pictures on VRBO didn’t even do close to justice. It was so perfect for just the two of us and it was so cozy. We did have a little bit of issues with the water, but it was just due to a breaker flipping which maintenance did come in less than 10 minutes after messaging someone about it. We will definitely be back the details of this place are just impeccable and if you know anything about the Lord of the rings or The Hobbit, everything is spot on.
Surprised we were the first ones to write it in but also so honored

Our stay was too short to fully enjoy the property. We did use the hot tub - delightful. And we loved the small touches throughout. Best part was the seclusion. Next time we’ll have to plan a longer visit.

Amazing stay! This was my second time staying at the hobbit house. The house is absolutely perfect and has everything you need! We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen( haven’t used the outdoor grill yet) and relaxing on the couch watching movies. I enjoyed seeing the deer around the property and would drink my coffee watching the rabbits every morning. This trip came at a time where I needed to relax and this was the perfect place to stay. Thank you so much and we will definitely be back again!!

Amazingly close but so far away

I loved everything about this stay. The charm of a "Hobbit House" only 2 hours from my home was exceptional. The owners thought of all the details. The house was filled with magic and wizardry everywhere even cute miniature LOTR/Hobbit characters hidden in the walls. Then, the screened in porch and patio were perfect for morning coffee and 1st breakfast. So close to hiking, caverns and wineries, but yet you feel away from all the hustle that life fills you with. This home is a real gem and will be one of our faves forever.

Unique

Very nice, unusual cottage. Comfortable for two or three. Well maintained inside and out. Secluded, but in a community of cabins. Other cabins are not visible from the site. Surrounded by trees and undergrowth.. Whimsical objects all around. Nice covered and screened patio, gas grill, fire pit with wood supplied. Wood stove inside. Two floors, bedroom and main bath upstairs, half bath with unique potty downstairs. Small kitchen with pretty much everything you need. Do bring trash bags and your choice of coffee and teas.

Perfect Hobbit Getaway

This cabin was just 2 hours from us and the perfect hobbit-themed backdrop for my husband's surprise 40th birthday. He was thrilled when we pulled up to the hobbit house!! (and shocked when I procured a Hobbit House cake!)The hot tub was great, the home was perfectly clean and had everything we needed, the cabin "neighborhood" was quiet and had some beautiful touches (trails, pond and swing). Our corgi was obsessed with the screened in porch offering a near 360 view of the woods, bunnies and woodpeckers.The king size bed was comfortable and the day bed below was perfect for my 12 year old.The cabin is filled with tasteful LOTR touches. Gandalf's staff hangs on a wall, the LOTR dvd trilogy was left for us to binge (we did), the bathrooms were themed and very nice, the small kitchen table was perfect for elevenses.The cleaning instructions were some of the most modest that I've seen and I appreciated just being asked to strip the beds and put the trash out. It made the morning of our check-out an easy and leisurely experience. We also washed the dishes and straightened up.The only tiny issue we had was keeping the place warm :) It got cold at night and the heater couldn't quite keep up, and most heat travelled upstairs. We did get a fire going which was really nice and enhanced the coziness of the whole place.All in all, we would definitely return! Bring your capes and elf ears and whip up some po-tay-tos!

Second Breakfast

This was our second stay at the Hobbit House. We enjoyed the cozy getaway with convenient access to Shenandoah National Park. Exploring during the day and coming back to a relaxing hot tub and fire was great. The hosts have provided many thoughtful touches. Listen to the recommendations on the listing—pack bug spray and a flashlight and you’ll be ready for adventure!

Close Yet Far Getaway

The Hobbit House at the Cabins at Deer Run is close enough to Luray yet feels like a getaway with the forest curling around the property. Take advantage of all the amenities, including the blue light (no spoilers!) Be sure to read all the information that the hosts include before your stay so you are totally prepared. Bug spray and flashlights are recommended for your comfort. The experience is "glamping" at its finest. Being close to nature with all the creature comforts. I think a hobbit would approve!
