“In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.” -J.R.R. Tolkien Hand-built by our family, this warm and cozy in-hill cabin located in the lower area of our property is something right out of a Tolkien novel. Beautiful territorial views. Very LGBTQ+ and BIPOC friendly. Hope you enjoy our Shire! This one room Hobbit Hole has everything in it's 7.5x15.5' (cozy): Comfy convertible bed/couch complete with sheets, comforter, and extra blanket... a small table with 2 chairs for playing games and eating, puzzles, games, snacks, hot water kettle, coffee maker, bluetooth speaker, electric fireplace (warm and cozy) , books, sketchpad with colored pencils, and more! A rustic wooden floor (with some paint splatters) and a braided rug give you a feeling of comfort and home.

We are exactly 3 miles from the ferry terminal in a convenient mid-island location. NEED TO KNOW (managing expectations): A note on the bathroom: the hobbit hole is small and will not fit a bathroom or plumbing and we are not allowed to add to our septic system. Your nearby private portable restroom (about 150 feet away) is cleaned thoroughly between each guest and serviced (pumped out) weekly. We consider our listing to be “glamping”. We don't have shower facilities but there is a local aquatic center where you can shower and use the pool. Also our property borders a local 2 lane highway and you can expect road noise mostly during the day and evening. While you will be in a very private setting you can expect to hear the road. Weekends and evenings it is quieter, and when the door is closed it is quiet inside. There is no cooking inside the Hobbit House however we have a combination fire pit and charcoal BBQ that you can use to cook on. Bring your own dishes. We are on Insta hobbithouse98110 and there are videos of the space to give you a solid look at what is in the space. On you tube we have a nice video giving a tour of the property and the hobbit hole. Look for "Hobbit House Bainbridge Island". The Hobbit House is strictly limited to 2 guests or 2 adults and a small child that can share the bed. The bed is a queen size, and we can't allow sleeping on the floor as the door opens inwards and is a safety concern. However, additional guests are welcome to bring a tent and camp outside, for $20/tent, up to 6 additional guests or 2 tents, whichever is smaller. Let me know when you are booking that you'd like to bring additional guests and we will adjust the costs accordingly. We are in a rural area and garden/landscape organically. You may encounter wildlife on your adventure with us, our island has a diverse diaspora of creatures that roam. Outside of the Hobbit hole on our 3 acres you may see/hear large and small birds, voles, field mice, bunnies, garter snakes, spiders, coyotes, raccoons, owls, bats, chipmunks, and squirrels. We also have 2 resident black bears on the island that we have NEVER seen on our property. We look forward to hosting you! Your own private parking space is about 50 yards from the hobbit house. We have wheelbarrows available to use to for your belongings. Portable potty with hand washing station about 50 yards from the hobbit house. We live on site and will be available should you need us.
