It was such an adorable cabin and was perfect for a quiet winter getaway. The only downside and i mean *ONLY* is the lack of hooks to dry towels. After using the hot tub and showering, we had towels hanging everywhere inside because it was 12 degrees out and would freeze if we tried to hang them outside. Otherwise it had all the basic amenities you could need for a relaxing stay.

Nice little Hobbit house

It was a cozy and clean room to stay in. Very cool architecture. The hot tub was a plus. A lot of things to see and do nearby, with a nice choice of restaurants within 15 minutes.

The check-in and check-out process were both super easy, all the information was sent in advance for our stay and communication was excellent. We were given the option to extend our stay in advance if we wanted, there were optional add ons. Easiest process ever! The stay was amazing, everything was just as described at the Hobbit Hut! Loved our stay!

Anniversary get away

This was such a perfect place for my husband and I to get away for our anniversary. Check in was easy and the instructions were clear. The place was clean and really set up with everything that we needed. The location was gorgeous and within driving distance from a bunch of fun things to do. We would highly recommend this!

Relaxing getaway!

A great time in Farmington! We were the only ones renting during our stay, so being in the area alone was a little spooky at times. But the property was delightful, had great accommodations in a small package, and wonderful sights and hikes were close by. Would certainly go again

The Hobbit House was great! The WiFi didn’t work very well but not anyone’s fault. The property manager had great communication and answered me via text message promptly. Overall we had a great night and the property was amazing. Also great location to casino.

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!

This was probably the best vacation rental we have ever been to. It was snowy and cold when we went, but we were still able to enjoy the hot tub and use the grill. The star gazing window inside was our favorite part even though the night didn’t allow for many stars to be seen. We 100% fully intend on coming back to this location in the summer when we can go rafting and try out some of the other activities around the area. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay.

Magical visit!

We were so pleased to have had time on this property during the off season. It was so private, quiet, and full of wildlife. We hope to visit again! We highly recommend the butchers box! Bring butter, long tongs, and steak knives. I'd rather not give this glowing review, as we truly hope to book again soon We did have issues with connecting to the wifi, but had planned to disconnect from the real world anyway

Great spot to take time for yourself or with a romantic partner. Property was well maintained and spotless. My only issue was I couldn’t get in the WiFi and service was weak, so I didn’t check my email about check out procedures. So sorry!

Great for couples

Was a perfect anniversary get away. We took a space heater because of a review we read stating that the furnace had a hard time keeping up in the extreme PA winters. I’m so glad that we did because it was very much needed to make our stay comfortable. The pond was beautiful and the location was hidden off the main road. We did have concerns about security because the only lock on the main door was a simple hook and eye latch which seemed a little scary knowing bears could break that easily

Even Better in Real Life

This house is even more amazing in person! I rented the Hobbit House for a mini getaway and birthday escape for my boyfriend, and it was perfect. The home is absolutely gorgeous, with a cozy cabin feel, stone flooring, a beautiful bathroom sink, a mini kitchen, a hot tub, and a fire pit outside. The property is maintained by the wonderful team at Ohiopyle Rentals, and a special shoutout to the maintenance staff I had the pleasure of meeting during our stay. The grounds are impeccably kept. I couldn't have asked for a better experience with the location, home, and staff for this rental.

A bit pricey but overall nice

The hobbit house is unique and was a good experience overall. The wifi signal is pretty weak. I would suggest adding a repeater or something to strengthen the signal as it would fade out on the side of the house away from the door. There was some sort of big event apparently being set up for so there were a few big trucks and many workers making a good bit of noise on our first morning. Not a deal breaker but it would have been great to be warned of this before arriving. The hot tub was clean and in good order. Would suggest some sort of privacy screening as it is open to the other cabins close by. This was a little getaway for my wife and I on our 10 year wedding anniversary. The price I feel is a bit high for the property but I wanted something unique for our trip and this property is that. Great location in proximity of ohiopyle so plenty to do in the area if you enjoy the outdoors.
