Hobbit House - Cozy Fireplace Retreat In Town

The hobbit house is a very charming home. It’s been beautifully remodeled, and the grounds are perfect for making dinners at home. It is walking distance to everything that you might need in Idyllwild. And most importantly, in my opinion, the property manager/owner was only a phone call away. When we needed anything at all, we could contact him and he responded. This is very important in my opinion. Highly recommend! It’s a great place to stay.

We had a very comfortable stay; the place was spotless, fresh towels and bedding and nice amenities like Keurig coffee pods& creamer. The location is very short walk to downtown. The host responded promptly to questions. The only drawback is the tiny circular staircase that takes you to the second floor bedrooms (the only shower is downstairs). The staircase is a safety concern in our minds. We ended up carrying our suitcases down the outside staircase to our cars.

The property was beautifully remodeled and both stunning and peaceful. Wonderful rooms for yoga and enjoying a good book but great WiFi and streaming. Also, a perfect location because we could walk to restaurants, shops and town. The house was stocked with everything we could need and the bed and linens were very comfortable. Lastly, the host was amazing and very responsive!

Nice house with good amenities, a very short walk to downtown and short drives to hiking trails. The house is very bright with lots of windows. The place was perfect for a family long-weekend getaway. Would absolutely stay again.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Hobbit House! The home is ideally located - close to everything you need, far enough from busier streets so that it's quiet. The photos are mostly accurate -- many times, when you rent a place, you find that it's not quite what you saw in the photos (a bit like online dating, I hear...) but this was definitely a situation where we weren't disappointed. There was maybe one photo that was confusing (suggested that there was a working indoor sauna but in reality it is a storage room as of April 2026). The home is adequately stocked, has a smart TV (if you want that) and decent wifi downstairs (upstairs was a bit spotty). The rooms are comfortable and clean. The water in the shower gets hot and has good pressure. The fireplace is the big sell for us. Definitely buy wood (we left some for the next guests after us) at wood vendors because the grocery store wood is soft and burns up quickly. The only thing I felt I missed was window dressing for the kitchen area. At night, you don't have much privacy on that side of the house so if I were to stay there alone, I may feel less comfortable. I rarely feel sad when I leave a rental but I was sad to go. I'd definitely recommend staying here and will plan to return!
