Get your hairy little feet dirty hiking the miles of trails on our 150 acre working horse farm! Then clean them off floating in our private stocked lake with a fishing pole on your lap.

Such a beautiful adventure awaits! The Hobbit house was a wonderful weekend escape for my husband and I. The daily walks, horse back riding, and rainy day LOTR movies with hot epson salt baths was the perfect getaway. Our 7 year anniversary was perfectly spent in this little hideaway.

What a perfect getaway! The Hobbit House was exactly what we needed to reset for the new year ahead. Finding the home well-stocked with coffee, tea, and staples was a bonus and a nice touch. We enjoyed meeting Randy and walking around the property. Very quiet. We can't wait to see what else he builds.

This was the perfect little get away for our family. The property is beautiful and the owners and so kind and welcoming! The property was close to the racetrack we were there for but gave us a nice little escape when we returned. ms Lisa at the barn was so kind to my very excited 4 and 5 year old. They were able to help out with feedings and say good morning to all the horses each day. I would 100% recommend this stay for families or a couples get away. The tranquility is a matched. My husband and I enjoyed our fire and watching for fireflies after the kids went to bed. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Such a warm welcoming place. My second time to visit. This time for a birthday present for my mom. Our host left out birthday decorations, it made her day. She is a big Hobbit fan, so this was amazing to her. The house is so cozy and great for a great away in nature. We had everything we needed the accommodations we great, we were even given a golf cart to explore the property. I highly recommend the Hobbit House.

The pictures online don't do the place justice. The attention to detail and thematic thought that went into the Hobbit House was incredible. Randy and Lisa are wonderful hosts, quick to respond and friendly. The location is peaceful and relaxing. Certainly the most unique place we have ever stayed.

This place was amazing! It lived up to everything I was expecting. My boyfriend enjoyed riding around the different trails and just exploring. My puppy who went with us also loved running around the property checking out things. Everything was clean and the place itself was so well thought out! The bidet was a life changing experience. We had everything we needed and our host was quick to respond and even checked in to make sure we were happy with everything. As soon as our stay was over, we were looking to book another stay here!

Staying here was truly one of the most amazing and memorable experiences I’ve ever had. The entire property feels like stepping straight into the Shire - incredibly immersive, beautifully designed, and so peaceful that it instantly puts you at ease. It’s honestly one of the most thoughtfully created places I’ve ever stayed.The hosts were super kind, communicative, and welcoming. They were generous with amenities, clear without being strict, and their laid‑back approach made the whole stay feel effortless and relaxing.During our visit, I received the heartbreaking news that my grandmother had passed. The quiet, serenity, and gentle magic of this place brought me so much comfort during an incredibly difficult moment. I’m deeply grateful for the peacefulness this property offered when I needed it most.Some of my absolute favorite parts were all the LOTR details woven throughout the space, the awesome bathroom (especially that tub), and the freedom of having a pet‑friendly stay with a golf cart to explore the property. Every element added to the charm and comfort.I will definitely be staying again. This entire property is a gem - peaceful, whimsical, and unforgettable.

This is our 3rd time at the hobbit house & we will continue coming. It is the perfect getaway for my wife & I, & our dog Cleo. The house is amazing with all the amenities & decor. there are areas to hike/walk around the property. It feels so secluded out here. Cleo has the opportunity to get her running in. But the best part are our host Randy & Lisa. They make you feel so welcome & anything you need all you do is ask. But they also leave you be & let you enjoy the experience. Can't wait to get back.

Magical birthday weekend

We had a wonderful stay at the Hobbit House! The detail in the design and decor were incredible. Randy was a welcoming, friendly host. We were surprised to be offered a golf cart to use for the duration of our stay. There were many wooded trails to explore and kayaks/boats to use in the lake. He even provided a birthday cake for our daughter, which was much appreciated!

I wanted an unforgettable vacation for my 3 kids and i this summer and the Lizard Sniffer Ranch did just that. We used everything we could at the property. My girls rode the golf cart around the trails and rode the horses. My son sat at Marvel and read comic books. The Hobbit House was so unique that the memories will last a lifetime and we will look forward to returning next year.

Review of the Shire

This was one of the best experiences we’ve had with renting a place. The place in itself is spectacular, with so many fun details not included in the pictures online. The property is full of adventures including horseback riding, fishing, kayaking, and riding around on a golf cart. Randy and his wife went above and beyond to make it a great experience. We will definitely be coming back again! It is so worth every penny to stay here!

My husband told me to book a birthday weekend getaway. When I stumbled across Randy’s Hobbit Hole, I just knew it was the ONE. Let me tell you, it DID NOT disappoint. The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and hospitality of Mr. Randy went above and beyond our expectations. If you’re looking for a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ clean & cozy adventure… Your adventure awaits!
