The property was perfect for a weekend get away! The host was extremely helpful and ready to help with anything we might need! Such a cute property. We enjoyed trying to find all the characters in the walls and trying to sit in each chair! The property around it was all beautifully kept and perfect for evening walks.

We absolutely loved staying here. The Hobbit House is so cool! It's full of Hobbit and Lord of the Rings-themed decorations. The whole thing is very whimsical, especially the canopy bed. The hot tub was nice even in summer. Lots of wildlife around too. The property was fun to explore with our dog. Riverbank Farms is down the road so we picked up some sausages and they were the best we've ever had. We chose this area for our vacation because it's so close to Shenandoah National Park. We had a great day there and enjoyed the easy drive there and back. Overall it was a great time and we can't wait to come back!

Magical from the moment we pulled up to the Hobbit House! Nothing was overlooked! Every nook held a hidden treasure. The house was clean with lovely, unique decorations. The hot tub and backyard were relaxing and well maintained. The communication was timely and appreciated. We look forward to returning to the shire again.

Our stay was too short to fully enjoy the property. We did use the hot tub - delightful. And we loved the small touches throughout. Best part was the seclusion. Next time we’ll have to plan a longer visit.

We had such a great time. It was such a cute little place and pictures on VRBO didn’t even do close to justice. It was so perfect for just the two of us and it was so cozy. We did have a little bit of issues with the water, but it was just due to a breaker flipping which maintenance did come in less than 10 minutes after messaging someone about it. We will definitely be back the details of this place are just impeccable and if you know anything about the Lord of the rings or The Hobbit, everything is spot on.
Surprised we were the first ones to write it in but also so honored

8/10 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The house was very clean and the property management was excellent in communication. Privacy was also good at the Hobbit House. The trails however were much smaller than I thought they would be. Lighting was a bit difficult to figure out with a lot of switches that turned on different parts of the room. Also, ticks were a huge issue with no warning they were that bad. Every time we took a walk my dog had 2 or 3 jump on her and I had one jump on me as well. We were looking for a spot we could have privacy and a day to unwind, read a good book and take a walk. All in all that is what we got and we throughly enjoyed ourselves.
