Stargazing from Middle-Earth
Staying at the hobbit house was such a memorable experience. It really did feel like stepping into Middle-earth, but in a way that was cozy and inviting rather than over the top. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and everything lived up to the ad and reviews — maybe even better.
Rob is a kind and talented host. He built the hobbit house himself, which is amazing to see in person. When he stopped by in the morning, he shared a bit about his background and some fun stories that made the stay feel even more personal without taking away from the short time we had there.
This was a birthday gift for my husband. He really wanted to see the Perseid meteor shower, and we weren’t let down. We spent most of the night lying in the grass with our pup, watching countless shooting stars until the moon came up and lit the mountains and valley. It felt private, peaceful, and safe the whole time.
Other highlights: the fire pit with wood for sale on-site, the interior staying cool even on a hot day, and the sounds of crickets and frogs at night. On our way out, we explored Mt. St. Helens and nearby lakes, which was spur of the moment because of how easy it is to do from here.
This is a special and beautifully made place, and we’d happily recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and welcoming getaway.
