We throughly enjoyed our stay at Shireton! The place was easy to get to, very clean and peaceful! We will likely be back again one day!!
WOW! We spent our 1 year anniversary here. We are major Lord of the Rings fans and it was so cool to feel immersed and escape the daily routine. So cozy and a comfortable place to stay. The bed was so comfortable!! That copper tub was a dream. Loved making a fire and there was no shortage of firewood. The hosts were very kind, would absolutely stay here again. P.S. All of the props were SO COOL!! we had so much fun taking pictures with them!! Thanks guys!
The Shireton was an amazing stay! I celebrated my 14th anniversary with my girlfriend and we had such a great time. The coziness of the land really made it feel like we were in The Shire. It was private, romantic, and incredibly fun! Thanks so much again 🙏👍
What stood out is the unique creativity and layout of the place. Pretty straight forward check in aside from not having a fridge I was using my rig which was close to the fire pit while we grilled. 10/10 experience
Great space and loved the atmosphere there. Daughter had her 17th birthday, and we were able to walk the trail and enjoy the space and comforts as a hobbit would.

Thank you Jessica and Matt. We loved our stay. Everything was provided: generator fuel, cleaning supplies, extra bulbs/batteries, water, induction stove, tiny fridge, water, utensils and more. This little home was also very interactive with board/card games and lord of the rings related reading material (including a recipe book). Thanks again and have a happy new year 2026.

Shireton was the perfect cozy weekend getaway! The handmade touches, props, and themed details made everything feel so enchanted and magical. I also loved that the front door opened right into the sunset (the door itself is gorgeous). We had so much fun doing archery with the on-site bow and arrows, relaxing by the fire, and enjoying the copper tub/shower. Truly a charming, whimsical stay :)

Magical little piece of the Shire✨
This beautiful piece of the Shire was so peaceful and gave my partner and i a wonderful getaway. We loved the little touches (hobbit garb, Middle Earth tarot cards, Tolkien-inspired pottery, flickering lanterns, etc!) and the beautiful craftsmanship of the whole home. We stayed during a cloudy period so relied on the generator for heat, which worked completely fine and the owner sent helpful instructions for using it ahead of time.
Highly recommend this spot, it’s really sweet and magical!

An Adventure There and Back Again
Shireton was very quiet throughout the stay. It was a surprise to see such amazing craftsmanship and detail that went into the house. The décor was pinpoint accuracy as if you stepped right in to Middle Earth. The bow and arrows provided were spot on accurate hitting the target with every release. We loved the floor plan and setup especially the Murphy bed and door. The huge copper tub is excellent for relaxing bath. Everything was simple and not complicated. The instructions provided were detailed and easy to follow. There were no lights (other than house) to interfere with the stargazing. This is the perfect place to escape from the madness and experience peace and quiet. The house is a short drive from Scottsville, VA which is rich with history. We did visit a few vineyards one of which was Hardware Hills Vineyards approx 20 min away It was a very warm and inviting place from the staff to the two dogs Sam and Lucy.
Overall, I would highly recommend Shireton to anyone that wants to try something different or go on an adventure there and back again. Looking forward to book another trip, maybe during the colder months just because it seems as though I should. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us. Thank you, Jessica and Mat, for not only hosting but more importantly sharing this experience with us. Well done.
Amazing place. Nicely done with good attention to detail. Host was helpful in answering any questions. I highly recommend this place to any LOTR fans. Definitely coming back!

Such an incredible and unique stay! Jessica was very friendly and quick to respond. She sent us clear instructions on where to go / how to turn on the generator.
We loved getting to unplug from the world and tap into a fantasy filled night away with table top games and land to explore. So many awesome little details, its obvious a lot of hard work and love went into creating this hobbit home. Super cozy and a perfect place to curl up and read. Hope to visit again!!

I loved the idea of staying in a hobbit home. They have done a great job replicating a home of the Shire. It added an element of fun to my recent adventures,
I can't believe how perfect and charming Jessica's hobbit hole was! I took my New Zealander husband here, and we had a great time during our stay. Every single detail and easter egg was perfectly designed. The Murphy bed setup was clever and easy to assemble. We made a fire in the fire pit and cooked over it, and went on a small hike in the woods on the property. This was a perfect little getaway only an hour and a half from Richmond!

A fun night in a hobbit house 🧙♂️
We enjoyed spending the night at Shireton. We loved the privacy, fire pit and I enjoyed practicing archery. Scottsville was close by so we were able to go out to dinner and breakfast in the morning. The house was set up well with many items just like the movie! We had a great time!

I booked this trip to surprise my girlfriend who is a huge lord of the rings fan. I couldn’t not recommend this stay enough. The house and surrounding area are beautiful and the host was nothing short of amazing.

Such a great place! Incredible authentic visit to the shire. Kept my eye out for that trouble maker Gandalf while we were there! I have to go, time for second lunch!
