Our unique and beautiful home is nestled in the mountains above the Historic Benbow Inn, just 15 minutes away from the famous Avenue of the Giants. Our circular dome-shaped house, lovingly nicknamed The Hobbit House, is made with compacted straw bales and earth. It's not only eco-friendly but also has deep windows, niches, and shelves that give the walls a magical and artistic feel.
Our goal is to provide a memorable vacation experience that focuses on outdoor living. Imagine enjoying the fire pit under a covered gazebo, relaxing in the hot tub, or bouncing on the 14' trampoline while taking in the breathtaking views of the King Range.
Step inside the main house, and you'll find a spacious interior with high vaulted ceilings and a cozy living area with a fireplace and surround sound system. The kitchen is surrounded by an impressive island bar top that can seat 12 people, making it perfect for family vacation gatherings.
The two luxury bathrooms on the main level have walk-in showers, and the bedrooms have comfortable king beds and futons with lovely views of the oak forest and emerald-green mountains in the distance. For younger travelers, the loft area adjacent to the fireplace has a queen bed, four twin beds, and a large crash pillow.
If you're looking for more privacy, we also have a Cottage and a Tree House Casita. The Cottage is approximately 100 ft from the main house and has incredible views of the valley below. The Tree House Casita cantilevers over the hill and is surrounded by trees, making it feel like a real treehouse.
The outdoor living area is the real star of the show, with a gas firepit that puts out 250k BTUs and custom-made fire logs that warm the entire area. The massive concrete table surrounding it is perfect for dining or playing card games, while the outdoor TV lets you enjoy movie nights under the stars. The Sonos outdoor sound system sets the mood for any occasion.
The hot tub is the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate, with stunning views of King Range and a gazebo enclosure with curtains for privacy. And let's not forget about the 14' trampoline, which provides hours of entertainment and a great workout without pounding the pavement.
Imagine a sun-soaked afternoon by the river, with your furry companions frolicking in the water and your kids building sandcastles galore. Now picture the joy of returning to our outdoor shower – a watery wonderland where muddy paws and sandy toes meet their match. Let your dogs revel in the refreshing cascade of water as they shake off the remnants of their adventures, all while your little ones giggle and splash their way to cleanliness.
At The Hobbit House, we strive to provide our guests with a unique and unforgettable vacation experience surrounded by nature's grandeur. Book now and start your adventure today!
