My stay at hobbit cobin was lovely. It was very cozy and magical! I enjoyed every moment of it and was welcomed by Bruce and Frances who were so kind to me. Miguel, you have created something that is one of a kind and I would love to visit again one day. Thank you Bruce, Frances, and Miguel!

Hobbit Cobin
This is a great place and extremely nice host. Very peaceful place especially great for people who need lots of privacy for deep meditation .

We really enjoyed our stay at the Hobbit Cabin. Friendly hosts, all fenced in property, and the outdoor-ish hot shower. We were amazed by how warm the cabin stayed thru the night. Thank you for hosting us :)

We had a great time. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate. The bed is a double size, kinda small for two adults. The sauna isn’t working and should be removed from the amenities. It’s a very unique, cozy room. The hosts are very sweet and responsive.

The Hobbit Cobin was a great little escape! Even though it's a quick drive away from Petaluma, sitting in the little garden makes you feel like you're in a sanctuary. There are three separate structures for the bed, kitchen, and bathroom. Frances provides everything you need for your stay. Super cute and unique!

Wonderful cabin built by talented craftsman and artist. Warm and cozy on cold February nights.
Good location on edge of pleasant town of Petaluma. Plenty of bird life in the yard. Near Point Reyes and Bodega Bay for coastal walks.

Unique, artistic, fun getaway. If looking for something different this would be it. Has all the comforts and all the charm. Close to everything you can need such as food and hiking. Very relaxing. Will come back if we get another chance.

Hobbit Cobin is a very unique example of sustainable architecture, built by Miguel’s own hands. I also enjoyed the outdoor spaces and the wood fired cob sauna. The Cobin is in a convenient location for bike riding to town and out to rural areas. Nearby Helen Putnam Regional Park has lovely trails.

So cool. These little cob rooms. One sleeping room, one bathroom, one kitchen. The kitchen and bathroom are open air lots of places open to outside so it helps to think of it as camping. I s wouldn’t recommend it during cold weather. Otherwise people are so nice and friendly. The accommodations creative, inspiring and unforgettable.
Bring airtight containers for your food and your own utensils. Good gas burners on the stove.
Get ready for a treat!

Bruce and Frances were the most gracious hosts and the cabin, garden, and fireplace were so utterly charming and restful. We slept so soundly the first night, we woke late the next morning, happily scrapped our morning plans to go hiking and hung out eating late breakfast, listening to birdsong and reading books, not going out until the afternoon. At night, we enjoyed toasting marshmallows in the fireplace.

We enjoyed our stay at Hobbit Cobin very much. Frances and Bruce were great hosts and we felt very welcomed. The Cobin is built with a great deal of whimsey which we thoroughly enjoyed. Petaluma is a great destination and we were able to bike and kayak. We look forward to coming back!

A wonderful and magical escape from the city! The hosts were so helpful in ensuring our stay was lovely from start to finish. Great location (still felt secluded and in our own little corner) but also not far from town and other locations of interest (Helen Putnam Park, Point Reyes, Tomales Bay). We had a great time!

The Cobin was way more than we could ever expect. Words cannot explain the magical, welcoming and beautiful experience staying here is! Miguel and his family were so welcoming and I cannot wait to send over my father and mother in-law! They will be so beyond delighted! Thank you for having us!

My daughter and I had the delight and pleasure to stay in this very special place. Built by loving hands from the very soil which it stands upon, I felt hugged and held as my daughter read to me one of her favorite chapters from The Hobbit. We felt blessed to meet Miguel whom is very passionate about making his Cobb Creations bring beauty, housing and community together. I hope you come treat yourself to this space and have a “magical” experience also!

Such a gorgeous and unique place to stay! Frances and Bruce were generous and warm hosts. FYI the sauna and the wood-fired oven were not available for use due to fire danger.

They are little cob pods. They're a perfect temperature, and have a unique feel to them. I want to build my own co home or an earth Integrated home now. I will definitely be back and the hosts are very warm people as well which added to our great stay. I just regret not being able to stay longer.

Miguel and his family were wonderful hosts! The Hobbit Cobin was an absolute delight. I highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a unique experience. The wifi on the patio was even good enough to get in a few full days worth of work.

Had a great stay at the Hobbit Cobbin! Miguel’s folks were incredibly kind and provided some suggestions for places to eat and areas to explore. The location is convenient and a short drive to different hiking/picnic spots.

We loved Hobbit Cobin. We loved everything about it. We had nice privacy, with a bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom handmade of cob (like adobe brick, only better). We enjoyed the nice touches, such as fresh coffee, oj, and home made granola each morning. Our hosts were wonderful and very friendly, including the dogs (so don't be surprised if a furry friend comes to greet you as soon as you open your car door! Thank you so, so much, Frances,, Bruce, and Miguel!!

We had a lovely time staying at the Hobbit Cobin. We have stayed in a lot of tiny homes and this was definitely one of the most magical and unique experiences. The hosts are very kind and respectful. We were also so happy to be greeted by their two sweet dogs!

We had a wonderful stay at the Hobbit Cobin! It was perfect for a COVID-safe getaway. Miguel's parents Frances and Bruce greeted us and were very hospitable, plus they provided great recommendations (try Ayawaska for dinner and Aqus for breakfast--both with outdoor seating!). The weather was chilly, but the space heater and blankets provided in the bedroom kept us nice and warm, and the shower water was plenty warm as well. I'd recommend bringing a lantern for the kitchen--it was a bit dark for cooking. The location is great, close enough to walk to downtown Petaluma where there are great restaurants and shops, and about a 30-minute drive to Point Reyes for some great hikes. Thank you Miguel, Frances, and Bruce (and your adorable dogs)!

Wow, Miguel is so talented. And Bruce and Frances are very kind! We celebrated my fiance's 30th birthday here as a mini staycation/getaway. The Hobbit Cobin was so relaxing - we made pizzas on our first night in the woodfire oven. The next night, we went nearby to Jack London State Park, although there are many more parks in the area. We utilized the sauna when we got back and it was so nice! We left the Cobin wanting to come back. Great stay! Very magical.

Lovely setting and great location, close to Helen Putnam Regional Park and walking distance to charming downtown Petaluma. The hobbit cobin is quirky and cozy, and the hosts went above and beyond to make me and my dog feel welcome. ❤️

Really a wonderful place to refresh your outlook and spend some time reflecting. I ended up having a much needed personal retreat. Frances was so helpful and welcoming. I followed her lead and visited the art center in town to see the Day of the Dead alters...which were so beautiful and moving. Neighbors were closer than I expected but it ended up making me feel more involved with the neighborhood. I loved this magical place.
