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.

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!

Lovely Hobbit Retreat!
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!

Perfect for my family's winter getaway
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 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.

We absolutely loved this place! The sound of the stream going by and the coziness of the house was exactly what we were looking for. And the bathroom floors are heated! Thank you for an amazing stay. We hope to come back in the future and maybe stay longer.
