Good Experience

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at the hobbit house. It was a cute little cabin that suited our needs for our long weekend. Great location, super close to town but still felt private. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5, is that the listing made it seem like there was a queen bed in addition to a pull out couch. The only bed is the pull out couch, which worked fine for us, but the listing definitely made it seem like there was an additional queen bed.

Weekend ski trip

My son and I were on a ski race trip at Eldora. The cabin is just 15 minutes from the mountain, which worked great for us! The cabin is basically a studio with a futon and sleeps two. Great for a short stay visiting Eldora!

Adorable cabin in a great town!

I loved how nice this house was, and that it had everything we needed and more just in case. It was a great location being so close to the downtown area with adorable local shops and restaurants. The only bummer was that the microwave did not work while we were there, but I trust that they will resolve that quickly. Thanks again for an awesome stay, we had a wonderful visit!

9 Night Stay

On positive note this property is cute & comfy. It was very clean inside and close to town and to our family that we were visiting. Good value. On the downside getting up to property once you park your car the path to Hobbit House was narrow (about 18" footpath) poorly lit and medium sized bolders in it. The solar lights were covered over by 2' tall brush. The outside grounds were not mowed and unkept. My husband is 78 and it was difficult for him to walk up and down to Hobbit House. The pictures in VRBO do not show it from street level. Also, if you like your coffee and a lot of it. They only have a Kuerig available. Bring your own pot or make one cup at a time. A shout out to Amy (Host). We had a problem with the Keurig leaking water in tray and there were only 3 pods in rental when we arrived. She came right away with a bag of pods. Took machine and said it was fixed. I hated to bother her again but it was still leaking. On a whole it was fine. Wanted to make anyone else looking to rent Hobbit House made aware of accessibility if you have issues walking.

Great location

Location as advertised! Listing is a little confusing. At first I thought there was a bedroom with a bed, plus a pull out sofa. There is no bedroom! Great place in a great location though- walk to all of Nederland. Comfortable and clean.

Hobbit house review

The hobbit house is adorable and comfortable and a close walk to town. After a couple issues (house had not been cleaned when we arrived and hot water and fireplace did not work initially (electrical storm may have knocked it out), Amy was very responsive to all these issues and reacted quickly to remedy them both. The cleaning caused an hour and 15 minute delay in getting into the house and the hot water issue was fixed within a few hours of our noticing the issue. Although we got off to a rough start, we appreciate Amy's quick response in remedying the situation. Life happens and we need to roll with it. We would recommend this house if looking for a place in Nederland.

Hobbit House Getaway

The hobbit house was a great weekend getaway! It is walking distance from restaurants and shops and super cozy (you may not even want to leave!) The pull out bed is comfortable and perfect for two. It snowed around a foot when we were there and we loved watching movies and using the kitchen. Thank you for a great stay!

We don’t need much when we travel, and this place suited us just fine. It had everything we needed. We spent most of our time out and exploring, and this was a nice cozy spot to return to every night. My husband enjoyed reading the ice climbing book on the mantle.
