    The 4 hobbit homes
    Alex L.

    So I have been a LOTR fan for many many years, I remember standing in line for the midnight showings when I was younger for the premieres. I turned 40 today, and for my b-day weekend my wife and kids booked this wonderful spot. It's in the middle of the country, and you have to drive up a small road to the homes. As you pull in you can see the four hobbit homes, we had the privilege of staying in the Red Door home, which brandishes the flag of Rohan as you enter. The rounded double doors open up to a new world of LOTR, details are extraordinary, you can literally immerse yourself in all the decor. There is a huge king size bed in the bedroom, very comfortable. The Hobbit monopoly and other board games, of course the Books are there for you to read as well. The wood burning stove was awesome, kept the whole place warm and cozy. It rained the entire two days we were there, so we couldn't go out and explore the property, but hearing the wind and rain while we cozed up to a book or movie was perfect. I wanted to relax for my day, and I did just that. Breakfast is brought each morning between 9-930, and I give the food alone a 5/5. You can tell the owners really take their breakfast seriously, the presentation alone is great and the food tasted amazing. A huge plus. We were able to stop at a grocery store in town to stock up on fruit/snacks/drinks, since we did have a fridge and freezer along with a microwave to use. I wish we would have came in spring, but it is what it is. The overall experience and immersing ourselves in the world of J.R. Tolkien was an experience of a lifetime, who knew this was just a few hours away from us. Recommend highly for any fans of the books or movies...I know I felt relaxed staying here.

    This place is so cool!!! If you are a lord of the rings fan this is a must. I stayed for three nights in the dog friendly Merry room. The room was so beautiful, larger than I expected and the most comfortable bed! The property is large and beautiful. The breakfasts each morning were some of the best I have had even compared to fancy brunch spots. The owner is very nice and you can tell he really cares about making a nice experience for his guests. The whole experience was so special. I highly recommend if you are ever in the area or even as a destination. It's a reasonable drive to Burney Falls, Shasta, and McCloud park. I can't wait to go back.

    Just back from a lovely stay in a hobbit-hole. That's not a statement that one can frequently make in life. If you are a fan of J.R.R. Tolkien, a stay at Burrowdale is a must. In addition to living out your fantasies of a visit to Middle-earth, you'll be treated to the most delightful second breakfast in beautiful digs by remarkably kind hosts, Lael and Amy. Lots of small details, such as icy mugs in the freezer, packets of hot chocolate and plush bathrobes make for a delightful stay.

    Loved everything about it! Tons of detail put into the rooms. Second breakfast was truly delicious and fresh. Hoping to return sooner than later!

    Such a treat for LOTR fans! My wife and I loved every second of our stay. The host is so thoughtful with a great kitchen, chilled beer glasses and even writing in elvish on the bed for a cool touch! The place is so clean, the shower is huge and amazing AC if it's hot, they really go above and beyond to keep you comfortable. The breakfast they serve you was incredible, they could open their own restaurant if they wanted to. 10/10 would 100% go again, we want to stay to read all the books and enjoy this again one day :)

    We stayed in the blue door house

    We booked this inn to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary, since we have always been Tolkien fans. Three days and nights in this incredible place were far too short! Not only could we stay in a very authentic and gorgeously appointed Hobbit house, we had ideal Spring weather in a setting of snow-topped mountains, rolling green meadows, trilling birds, wildflowers, and freshly-budded trees. The friendly hosts treated us to unexpected comforts and the most delicious Second Breakfasts delivered to our door each day. It was tranquil, serene, and unforgettable! We were truly sorry to say farewell, and hope to go back someday. This highly recommended magical refuge is fantastic for a quiet, beautifully artistic time away from the cares of the world, and absolutely a must for lovers of all things Tolkien!

    Had the absolute best time staying in Bilbo Baggins Hobbit Hole in the beautiful Shire! The entire place is made with such love and detail! The hosts are so lovely and sweet and make the most delicious Second Breakfast! We felt right at home! 1000/5 star experience!

    This place was absolutely amazing! I have been to Hobbiton in New Zealand and this is a close second!! The food was absolutely my favorite, so delicious! We were comfortable, and well taken care of. This was a trip I will not soon forget! The place is clean and cozy, I felt like a really hobbit staying here! I would recommend staying here to anyone and everyone!

    Magical Hobbit Hole and Second Breakfast "Sam's Room"
    Gabriel H.

    Visited for my girlfriend's birthday and could not recommend this more! Everything was exactly what we wanted and more. Peaceful, quiet, and well kept. Everything was stocked and utilities were amazing. Highly recommend and will stay again!!

    View from the outside. L-R: Frodo, Samwise, Merry and Pippin.

    The area around the hobbit holes is so wonderful and well designed. The spaces are well insulated and quiet. The host Lael is very helpful. I love the attention to detail in each of the spaces. The beds are incredibly comfortable and the breakfast is delicious. We were a bit overwhelmed by how huge the Shirecuterie board and snacked off it over a few days. I would love to come back with a group again and enjoy the outside space.

    Wonderful gourmet breakfast delivered to your room.

    What an amazing experience! I took my husband and family here for my husband's birthday. Being he's a huge LOTR fan, I was nervous that it wouldn't be as good as it looked online. This bed and breakfast did not disappoint! Every detail is so well thought out. From the robes, wood burning fireplace, delicious breakfast, to the beautiful decor, be prepared to feel pampered. We will definitely be going back for a longer stay

    DELICIOUS breakfast!

    This adorable and unique hotel was an absolutely one-of-kind, over-the-top experience! Fully equipped with all of Tolkien's books plus, a LOTR game, and fun journal for guests to share their experiences in, this is an artist's paradise (as well as a Tolkien-aholic's dream)! The detail that Lael and Amy put into each room is unfounded at most hotels. The breakfast they serve in the morning was exquisite and SO delicious. We felt very well taken care of and are looking forward to another stay soon! Thank you!! -Chris & Liz

    My husband and I stayed here on the way back up to Oregon. We love the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings and so the idea of staying in a Hobbit hole appealed to us. And before you think this is some cheesy Hobbit knock off, let me set you straight. These are amazing structures with all the conveniences, a beautiful setting and so many Hobbit/LOTR touches. A big circle door, a circular doorway into the bedroom, a lovely, well stocked kitchenette (larger than normal mini fridge with freezer which they stock with some water, flavored sparkly water, yogurt and half and half for your coffee) microwave, sink, counter and lovely mugs, dishes, silverware, pour over coffee maker and coffee with instructions and an electric kettle to boil water for tea or making coffee, and more. There is a wood burning stove in the living room which they will light for you. There is a firepit and chairs and a table and chairs outside to enjoy the beautiful setting around you. The bed is very comfortable. The bathroom has a large shower with a choice of rain shower or hand held shower and super-cushy towels. Very comfortable and cute chairs in the living area. There is a mini-split system for heating and AC if you prefer that. They put a basket of snacks on the counter and the breakfast.....OMG. It was delicious!!!! And beautiful! Baked eggs with mushrooms and fresh thyme with sliced, wonderful artisan bread to eat them with and perfectly cooked bacon. Then a dish of baked apple and pear with cinnamon and their boozy, bougie whipped cream topped with some candied nuts and fresh berries. The breakfast changes and you can inform them of dietary restrictions. There are paths through the surrounding 40 acres and we went for a short walk after we ate dinner (we brought that with us). The stars are amazing as the light pollution is so much less prevalent there. You can really imagine you are in the Shire. Everything was so beautiful and geared to giving you a cozy, pampered stay. The hosts were friendly and easy to communicate with. It was a magical, lovely place to stay and we will be back.

    Ask the Community - Burrowdale Inn

    My husband is 6'2", will he fit comfortably in the rooms?

    Of course! Those front doors are 7’6” tall, so anyone who doesn’t play center for an NBA team will be comfortable! The curved ceiling peak at over 11 feet.

    How much does it cost and how many bedrooms are there?

    We have four hobbit holes inspired by Pippin, Merry, Sam and Frodo. Prices vary based on season and day of the week, but will usually be $200-250 per night with a $60 cleaning fee. Gourmet breakfast for two is included!
