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!

This was such a perfect place for my husband and I to get away for our anniversary. Check in was easy and the instructions were clear. The place was clean and really set up with everything that we needed. The location was gorgeous and within driving distance from a bunch of fun things to do. We would highly recommend this!
We came to the Hobbit House for a late Valentine’s getaway. It was cute, romantic and did not disappoint. We loved the attention to detail and the hot tub was fabulous! Check-in to Check-out was flawless. We will be back!
We had a lovely anniversary in the Hobbit house. It was clean and comfortable, and we especially appreciated the heaters and the hot tub while it was snowy and cold.
Loved the little place. Beautiful area, overall great time there only thing I would change is the mattress. I prefer a very soft one and this one was very firm.
The Hobbit House was great! The WiFi didn’t work very well but not anyone’s fault. The property manager had great communication and answered me via text message promptly. Overall we had a great night and the property was amazing. Also great location to casino.
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!
This was probably the best vacation rental we have ever been to. It was snowy and cold when we went, but we were still able to enjoy the hot tub and use the grill. The star gazing window inside was our favorite part even though the night didn’t allow for many stars to be seen. We 100% fully intend on coming back to this location in the summer when we can go rafting and try out some of the other activities around the area. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay.
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
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.
