This place is wonderful! Great central location to explore the redwoods. The house is so cool. We went with multiple families and there was room to spare in the loft for the 6 kids. The loft feels like a treehouse and is so fun. Lots of amenities on the premise with everything you need. The hot tube was wonderful after days of exploring. The outdoor fire is perfect for hanging out at night. Beds were comfortable. Showers and bathrooms were nice. Definitely recommend!

Fun Weekend in Humboldt

We were up in Southern Humboldt for a wedding and the Hobbit House provided a great place for our family to stay. Really enjoyed the uniqueness of the home and the proximity to Hwy 101.

Beautiful views and house worked great for group- loved the extra details like string lights and flat stone grill. Only downside was the casitas not having restrooms.

Fantastic Getaway

This place was amazing! We stayed 2 nights here for my almost 50th birthday with 3 families. The house and extra rooms on the property were cute and comfortable, the kitchen was amazing and set up for everything you need. The bathrooms and showers were awesome, and the long dining table was a must have with all us together. Highlights here are the outdoor fire pit and chairs, the hot tub with a view, and the hammock was a blast for those who could stay on! The whole place was well decorated, comfortable, and cozy, not to mention just visually stunning with all the work and thought that went into it. 10/10 would recommend and stay again!!

Epic time at Hobbit House

The pictures don't do justice. The visit to the Hobbit house was amazing. The drivie way to get in is a little oasis is tricky but manageable. Just don't do it with a corvette.lol. Commutation with the host was great and never felt like they didn't want to help or provide a great stay!

Top of the world sunrise views

This property is definitely at the top of the list of favorite places we’ve stayed. All of the details inside from the dishware, to the bath towels and the hand soaps create a really welcoming vibe. The beds and linens are THE MOST comfortable ever! Having a couple additional structures was a really cool thing for the kids and they loved having their own places. The property itself is in a beautiful location with amazing views, deer that travel through, and you can catch the sunrise from the tree swing in front. Easy travel into Richardson Grove area to the south or beautiful hikes in Avenue of the Giants to the north. If you have the chance to stay, it’s definitely worth it

Perfect for a weekend friendsgiving

This was a beautiful property, with lots of space and made up to be very cozy. The loft area was comfortable, and the outdoor fire pit worked incredibly. There were three grills outside to choose from, and we loved how easy everything was to use. Everything was very clean, we had a problem with the drain in one of the bathrooms smelling, but they were very quick to help us and always responded very right away. There were 8 adults in our group and everyone had plenty of space to relax and sleep. The hot tub was wonderful and the views were truly breathtaking. We very seriously talked about renting the place again, before we had even left.

Well appointment and spacious, beautiful views with all types of amenities

Spacious home with all the desirable vacation amenities. The house was large enough for a gathering of at least 10 people if not more. There are only two bathrooms despite having 5 bedrooms, so keep that in mind. The property seemed to be designed with a “man cave” focus, minus a pool table; large TVs in every room with a grand outdoor kitchen. We could not wait until sunrise to see the beautiful views on top of the mountain. I would caution that a good vehicle is needed to get up to the house due to the steep hill and somewhat treacherous drive up to the house, but the location is worth it. Such a cool.property.

An absolutely lovely property with very nice hosts. Our group of ten took turns cooking with the impressive kitchen, and after having tried almost every appliance we can confidently say they all worked excellently and are clearly well maintained. The road up to the house can be a little tricky, and I would recommend vehicles that can manage steep inclines and have a bit of clearance.I would have appreciated a more detailed inventory of available cookware and dishes, as we ended up bringing redundant pans and bowls which went unused.The hosts themselves were excellent, extremely responsive to a few minor concerns and they proactively gave us a list of local activities to supplement our plans. The few we did incorporate into our schedule ended up being lots of fun and overall it was a very positive experience.As for the rest of the house, it is just as lovely as the photos imply. What we felt was undersold was how lovely the views turned out to be.

Redwoods Vacay

We had a wonderful experience at the Hobbit House! We enjoyed the beautiful views from the multiple sitting areas around the property as well as hanging out in the hot tub! The fire pit table was a great place to dine, make s"mores and have a cold drink in the evenings. The interior of the home is newly remodeled and updated, There was plenty of space for the 8 of us to spread out and enjoy ourselves. Being located on a mountainside. the Hobbit House is a truly unique experience! The ride up to the house was always an adventure!! Katie, our property manager, was very responsive to our needs and questions.We had some uninvited guests in the cabin but Katie was on it quickly. We did note the lack of fire alarms in the home so would suggest maybe adding those. We never felt unsafe in the home but thought this could potentially be a problem. We would highly recommend this property!
