Great place, great location 110% Recommended!

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.

It was our Anniversary

The Hobbit house was nothing short of amazing. Our host was fantastic and even stopped by to welcome us. So personable so memorable. We had a great time on the Ranch and inside this magical house in the hill:(

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!

hobbit house

The hobbit house is very unique as it makes you feel your in the real place. Although it looks like you would expect it to, inside the amenities are great. From the decor & spa tub to everything you need in the kitchen this place is amazing. This was our 2nd time staying here & hopefully there will be a next time. Also a great place for our dog as well. Great privacy too. They have many other places to rent all throughout their property.Randy & Lisa are super host. The best I've ever had. They are there if you need anything or just want to here some good stories.

Unique Experience

We stayed at the hobbit house while we attended the Masters Tournament. The drive to Augusta, GA was about 45 minutes. Although we didn't have a lot of time to thoroughly enjoy the hobbit house, the peaceful atmosphere was what we needed after a busy day! The two king size beds were very comfortable & perfect for 2 couples. It was a unique experience that we will never forget. The attention to detail was unmatched! Thank you!

Best Lord of Rings Escape

I booked this property as a surprise getaway for my husband’s 30th birthday, and we had an absolute blast. He is a huge Lord of the Rings fan and enjoyed all the of creative decor, especially the hobbit door. Randy was also an amazing host! He was so quick to get back to you if you needed anything or had a question, We can’t wait to book again!

Clean & Cozy Adventure

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!

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!

A Hobbit hole means Comfort

We arrived late due to air and ground transport delays. Randy was concerned and kind and wished us safe travels. We were thankful for the comfortable bed and quiet when we finally arrived. We found the space well appointed, a little quirky and cool. There isn't much natural light, as you would expect, but the Rivendell room window is a beacon in the daylight. Springtime is lovely in this Georgia "Shire". We roamed the grounds, visited the animals and took in the lake sunsets. Thank you, Randy, for a hobbit's retreat!

The hobbit house

Everything was excellent. Our host Randy couldn’t have been more accommodating. The hobbit house both inside and out was amazing. If I could give it more than five stars, I would. Attention to detail & the cleanliness was fantastic., there was a lot of hiking on the property and a great place for our little dog to wonder around wherever she wanted to go. I will tell everyone I know about it and hope they could get by to see it one day. There were more cabins on the property, and they all looked great as well. Hope to get back again.
