The Hobbit House | 1BR,1BA, Hot Tub, Dog Friendly
The Hobbit House at Fernstone is truly a one of a kind structure, not only in the Laurel Highlands, but beyond! On the outside, you'll appreciate the thoughtful placement among the trees, ferns, and ponds that make Fernstone so special; but when you step foot inside, that is when the magic really begins. In fact, when you aren't exploring the grounds and taking in the natural beauty of the Laurel Highlands, you'll be spending your time trying to figure out the craftsmanship that went into weaving the heavy oak timbers together to form the reciprocal rafter roof structure. And this is a type of construction that is rare indeed! Conveniently inherent in the design, is the opportunity for the stunning clear glass dome over the bed that allows you to gaze at the stars as you drift off to sleep. And of course, no OVR stay is complete without a well appointed bathroom, complete with tiled shower and unique custom made sink. So if you're looking for a one of a kind stay in a one of a kind setting, The Hobbit House at Fernstone is an easy choice!

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at this beautiful cabin! The area is picturesque and quiet. Even though the weather was snowier and colder than we were hoping for, everything about the property was perfect!
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

Very unique and beautiful space. Immaculately clean. However, the heater was extremely loud, keeping me awake most of the night. The substantial outdoor lighting stayed on all night and couldn't be controlled meaning the inside was quite bright and little could be seen out of the very cute roof portal While the property doesn't provide firewood, there was none to be purchased anywhere nearby in the winter, so we couldn't enjoy the fire pit. Overall a unique experience, but a poor night's sleep and a feeling that we probably over paid.
Such a cute place!! The house and hot tub were very clean! Awesome location and easy process for check in and check out. My husband and I had a great time!
We loved it like the hot tube the grill was great everything was great could’ve use t few more pillows put all in all I would come back lots to keep you busy

Very unique and fun property in a pretty, quiet setting. My only problems were that the gravel road to access the property is a bit rough and finding the right driveway can be a little tricky, especially if not arriving in full daylight. The directions provided by the property were great but Google Maps seemed to be pinpointed to another driveway for some related properties a couple hundred yards down the road.
We had a very nice stay and enjoyed it very much.
Suggestions.
- The bed is very firm. Could use a 2” topper.
- 2 more pillows would have been nice
- Need shim the toilet from rocking before it breaks.
My husband and I enjoyed a couple nights away at the Hobbit house. It was the perfect blend of unique architecture and whimsical fairytale:) I recommend packing flip flops or slippers for the beautiful stone floors.
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.
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
The cabin was just as listed, it was nestled in the woods and was clean and comfortable. Not a lot of space for cooking, but that is part of the experience. The ponds were cool right outside your door, with plenty of frogs.
We would definitely rent again.
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
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!

Reviewer Comments:
Very cute and romantic space, clean and well furnished. The only issue was the heat, it was not able to keep up with the cold on the evening of our arrival. The door didn't completely seal and there was a small draft. I would bring a small electric space heater if you are visiting when it will be in the 20's or colder.
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.
