The debut
of The
Hobbit has been
talked about so much that all of us have round doors and furry feet
on the mind. If you’re a Lord
of the Rings fan,
then there’s a good chance that you’ll be on a quest to see the
latest installment in the next day or two. But what if a trip to
the movie theater isn’t enough? There's no secret way to get to
Middle Earth, but quite a few vacation home owners have fashioned
their properties after the cottages of the Shire. Here's a list of
ten favorite Hobbit Homes, so that you can vacation like
Bilbo Baggins…
Dubbed the
“Hobbit House,” this home is furnished with antiques, custom
designed iron beds, comfortable sofas and chairs, and lounges on
the patio. The home has a guest suite to fit your entire
fellowship.
Built on
the site of a 10th century chateau belonging to the Counts of
March, this hobbit hole commands a spectacular view over the Vincou
Valley. The house is 15th century, with original oak spiral
staircase and its original treads (rather worn and
wonky).
Built of
ferro-cement, this newly constructed house is perfectly sited on
the top of a hill from where one can see every island in the
Grenadines. Wake up to the sunrise over the Atlantic, and end your
day with the sun-setting over the town of Hillsborough and the
Caribbean.
Santa Fe
Hobbit House is a luxury vacation rental, but it is more than that…
It is a live-in art gallery with a very private feeling that is
centrally located only minutes from the Historic Santa Fe Plaza,
Canyon Road and the Rail Yard Distric
Orcas
Island is one of the most beautiful islands to visit in Washington
State. The natural beauty here is colored by the Madrona trees, the
sparkle of the water and the abundant wildlife. The spot is
absolutely spectacular and a pure joy to witness.
This place
is a fairytale realized. So, put a little whimsy in your honeymoon
or holiday in paradise with a visit to a delightful little custom
built suite. Hobbit House is a wonderful choice for Hawaii
honeymooners visiting The Big Island
Surrounding
the hobbit home is a village that comes to life at night with the
magical display of lights from the cavalcade of mushrooms that line
Hobbit Lane to the lighted mural of a whole Hobbit
Village.
Black
Pearl Cottage is a uniquely designed, beautiful beach house with
spectacular views of Monterey Bay. Located in the heart of the
Seabright neighborhood, this home is among the most historic beach
homes in the Santa Cruz area
This
detached, single storey cottage is situated on the outskirts of the
village of Mitcheldean on the edge of the Royal Forest of Dean, in
Gloucestershire, and can sleep two people in one double
bedroom.
Set on its
own private peninsula, the Mount Hartman Bay Estate looks across
the water to the Mount Hartman Nature Reserve, home of the
protected Grenada Dove.
