This was the perfect little get away for our family. The property is beautiful and the owners and so kind and welcoming! The property was close to the racetrack we were there for but gave us a nice little escape when we returned. ms Lisa at the barn was so kind to my very excited 4 and 5 year old. They were able to help out with feedings and say good morning to all the horses each day. I would 100% recommend this stay for families or a couples get away. The tranquility is a matched. My husband and I enjoyed our fire and watching for fireflies after the kids went to bed. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Such a beautiful adventure awaits! The Hobbit house was a wonderful weekend escape for my husband and I. The daily walks, horse back riding, and rainy day LOTR movies with hot epson salt baths was the perfect getaway. Our 7 year anniversary was perfectly spent in this little hideaway.

Such a warm welcoming place. My second time to visit. This time for a birthday present for my mom. Our host left out birthday decorations, it made her day. She is a big Hobbit fan, so this was amazing to her. The house is so cozy and great for a great away in nature. We had everything we needed the accommodations we great, we were even given a golf cart to explore the property. I highly recommend the Hobbit House.

What a perfect getaway! The Hobbit House was exactly what we needed to reset for the new year ahead. Finding the home well-stocked with coffee, tea, and staples was a bonus and a nice touch. We enjoyed meeting Randy and walking around the property. Very quiet. We can't wait to see what else he builds.

This is our 3rd time at the hobbit house & we will continue coming. It is the perfect getaway for my wife & I, & our dog Cleo. The house is amazing with all the amenities & decor. there are areas to hike/walk around the property. It feels so secluded out here. Cleo has the opportunity to get her running in. But the best part are our host Randy & Lisa. They make you feel so welcome & anything you need all you do is ask. But they also leave you be & let you enjoy the experience. Can't wait to get back.

This place was amazing! It lived up to everything I was expecting. My boyfriend enjoyed riding around the different trails and just exploring. My puppy who went with us also loved running around the property checking out things. Everything was clean and the place itself was so well thought out! The bidet was a life changing experience. We had everything we needed and our host was quick to respond and even checked in to make sure we were happy with everything. As soon as our stay was over, we were looking to book another stay here!

I wanted an unforgettable vacation for my 3 kids and i this summer and the Lizard Sniffer Ranch did just that. We used everything we could at the property. My girls rode the golf cart around the trails and rode the horses. My son sat at Marvel and read comic books. The Hobbit House was so unique that the memories will last a lifetime and we will look forward to returning next year.

Unique Experience

We stayed at the hobbit house while we attended the Masters Tournament. The drive to Augusta, GA was about 45 minutes. Although we didn't have a lot of time to thoroughly enjoy the hobbit house, the peaceful atmosphere was what we needed after a busy day! The two king size beds were very comfortable & perfect for 2 couples. It was a unique experience that we will never forget. The attention to detail was unmatched! Thank you!

Best Lord of Rings Escape

I booked this property as a surprise getaway for my husband’s 30th birthday, and we had an absolute blast. He is a huge Lord of the Rings fan and enjoyed all the of creative decor, especially the hobbit door. Randy was also an amazing host! He was so quick to get back to you if you needed anything or had a question, We can’t wait to book again!

The hobbit house is very unique as it makes you feel your in the real place. Although it looks like you would expect it to, inside the amenities are great. From the decor & spa tub to everything you need in the kitchen this place is amazing. This was our 2nd time staying here & hopefully there will be a next time. Also a great place for our dog as well. Great privacy too. They have many other places to rent all throughout their property.Randy & Lisa are super host. The best I've ever had. They are there if you need anything or just want to here some good stories.

Review of the Shire

This was one of the best experiences we’ve had with renting a place. The place in itself is spectacular, with so many fun details not included in the pictures online. The property is full of adventures including horseback riding, fishing, kayaking, and riding around on a golf cart. Randy and his wife went above and beyond to make it a great experience. We will definitely be coming back again! It is so worth every penny to stay here!

My husband told me to book a birthday weekend getaway. When I stumbled across Randy’s Hobbit Hole, I just knew it was the ONE. Let me tell you, it DID NOT disappoint. The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and hospitality of Mr. Randy went above and beyond our expectations. If you’re looking for a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ clean & cozy adventure… Your adventure awaits!
