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.

Such a unique experience. Gave a weekend stay to my family of boys who love The Hobbit and anything adventure. The set up inside is so cozy and we loved having the fireplace outside. They really thought of everything to make our winter stay cozy and enjoyable. Enjoyed being close to the ski slopes as well so great location for that and some good restaurants nearby but feel somewhat secluded when you’re at the house which was nice.

We had a wonderful weekend at this location! The property was well stocked with linens, towels/washcloths, fire building materials, utensils and many other amenities. Our children loved the loft area with video games. I especially enjoyed the outdoor fireplace area with a TV and BBQ grill. We had great communication with our checkin and questions we had. Would highly recommend this location for anyone to try in the future!

This house is so unique and absolutely beautiful! There are so many more amenities than were listed, like heated bathroom floors, multiple hooks in every room (which was very helpful after a day of snowboarding), reclining leather sofas, etc. It is just so charming and inviting, we wanted to move in!

Hobbit Retreat was the perfect location for hiking the AT and for dining in Banner Elk. The sound of the river is wonderful from the outside seating areas, the kitchen was well-equipped and everything was clean and new!

Adorable, awesome house!! The view, sound of the river, the cold water rushing over my feet while sitting on a river boulder and deer visits in the mornings were just what we needed!! We’ll be back for sure!!

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 :)

The Hobbit House is just as unique and interesting as the photos show! Loaded with all the amenities for a comfortable stay with tv’s in every room, games galore and our favorite…. The outside fireplace and kitchen. We used it everyday and only cooked inside 1 morning. We went post Helene and grocery stores were opened and a lot of hiking trails were in the stages of clearing. We loved Grandfather Mountain park, it’s worth the entry fee.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Between the details of the woodworking, and the roaring of the river, it was the perfect place to relax and unwind for our family. Highly recommend.

We had a lovely stay. This was our second trip, and even though we had one rainy day, we were able to enjoy our time together, culminating in eating dinner outside while enjoying a nice fire and watching the third Lord of the Rings movie. It was just cool enough to need a fire. All of us enjoyed it very much!

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.
