Have you ever wanted to be transported to a magical new world? There's a Hobbit house in Washington's countryside that feels like a doorway to another realm. If you're a JRR Tolkein and The Lord of The Rings fan, consider this your dreams manifested. This cozy, earth house is the perfect place to unplug and can accommodate up to two people. It features a small bedroom, bathroom, and tiny living space with a fire. You can cozy up with local coffee, tea, hot chocolate and scones that are provided. Since the home is nestled into the Columbia River Gorge, you'll only have the rolling hills beside you, or an occasional deer, rabbit or a bird for company. The house has rustic furnishings and is even fitted with the iconic round door — made from an upcycled spool, from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Although there's central heating and hot water, there's no kitchen, television or Wi-Fi at this spot. So, you can get back to nature and unwind. It's even pet-friendly!

Now far ahead the road has gone, and I must follow, if I can, pursuing it with eager feet, until it joins some larger way where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say" #hobbitdoor #thehobbitinn A post shared by The Hobbit Hole (@thehobbitinn) on Nov 10, 2016 at 3:16pm PST According to the host's guidebook, there's also a market, a BBQ steakhouse, a teriyaki bistro and a pizza place nearby if you get hungry. The hillside-home in Orondo, Washington is open year-round. Since it's so popular, we recommend you book your stay in advance.

Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort’( J.R.R.

Thank you @anna_ix_ for the inspo! A dream coming true waking up in an underground Hobbit hole in the middle of winter with breathtaking views all around. One would think this is in a far away land like New Zealand but surprisingly this isn't too far away from Seattle, WA. A bit of a sketchy drive with twists and turns and sharp drops but the reward is so much better than expected. . . . . #hobbitinn #hobbiton #hobbit #lordoftherings #thehobbit #hobbithole #uniqueaccommodation #accommodation A post shared by The Hobbit Hole (@thehobbitinn) on Feb 26, 2019 at 8:18am PST You can't drive up the hill though.
