New Upscale Hobbit Retreat w/ outdoor Kitchen on Elk River 4 miles to Banner Elk

Nestled high on the bank of the Beautiful Elk River, there lies a 1,500 sq. ft. Hobbit Retreat carved into the hillside amid the Poplar trees. Enjoy spectacular views of the Elk River and be mesmerized by the white noise as it cascades over the bus-size boulders below the house. You can almost fish for the fabled rainbow trout from the living room or either bedroom, but there are plenty of good spots on the bank below. When the fair winds blow enjoy a real fireplace inside or on the covered outdoor living area, complete with a built-in gas grill, sink and 50" TV. Both bedrooms and foyer have 50" Samsung smart TVs and the living room's is 65". The play loft has a 40" Samsung smart TV with a PS4. The kitchen is stocked with everything needed for a banquet: a gourmet Zline range, double door fridge, wine (or beer) fridge, slow cooker, presto pot, toaster oven, programable coffee maker, and all the dishes. Or choose to cook outside on the built-in Bull-Stallion gas grill.

Happy family of 3.
Unique awesome cabin close to everything. Beautiful trout river right in the backyard. We had a great time here and will be back soon. My wife and son didn’t want to leave. The hobbit house with the heated bathroom floors gets 5 stars from us.

Unique & comfy on a rushing river
Fun, easy to slide into comfort. Truly just 2 lovely bedrooms with king size bed, the loft hardly qualifies except for kids or an easy to please adult, so, a little interesting for 4 adult women; we did ok. Living area cozy. Cool outside spaces, but we had lots of rain, so lotsa games, good food & drink. Thanks.

The best 16th Birthday Ski Trip!
My husband took our son for a weekend ski trip with a few of his friends. Another dad went with them...EVERYONE (including the teens) had nothing but great things to say about the trip. The boys had a blast fishing in the creek. Loved spending a day at Sugar Mountain. Property wasn't far at all! Communication was GREAT! Will 100% book this property again!

Thanksgiving with family
We had a lovely time in this fun, truly accessible cabin. My mom was able to move about freely. I loved the kitchen and all of its amenities and my kids loved the loft space and the creek outside.

One of the best
It was one of the best places we stayed in. The place was renovated, clean and beautiful. Convenience was a plus with nearby grocery stores and restaurants. Teresa's kindness and effective communication enhanced our experience.

Perfect for my family's winter getaway
We travelled to NC to celebrate my dad's birthday and hit the ski slopes, and this house was the perfect place for our stay! The hobbit theme is beautifully executed, the place was spotless and welcoming, the surrounding scenery is relaxing, and it's only 20 min from Beech Mountain! 100% would stay here again :)

Exceeded expectations
The property and area is amazing. We visited with our adult children and really enjoyed the stay. The pictures do not do it justice. Plenty of space and close to so many things to do. We would stay there again.

Lovely nook
We absolutely loved this place! The sound of the stream going by and the coziness of the house was exactly what we were looking for. And the bathroom floors are heated! Thank you for an amazing stay. We hope to come back in the future and maybe stay longer.

Lovely place!
The Hobbit House is so cute! We were so pleased to find a place that was handicap-accessible, but there were still some drawbacks. My husband has a prosthetic leg and it was very hard for him to get around in the bathroom. The toilet is very low and the grab bars were not really much help, but we did manage to make it work. Since he takes his prosthetic limb off at night, he has to use the right side of the bed because he has no left leg. It was difficult to maneuver the wheelchair into that area on that side of the bed where he could transfer, but we slid the bed over a little to make room. Otherwise everything was fine. I know there won’t be that many people with a prosthesis, but there will be some. Handicapped doesn't just mean confined to a wheelchair. Our grandkids loved the creek, the water, rocks, and the outside fire! It was a very enjoyable trip for us all.
