  • Welcome to Hobbit Houses of America! It's my dream to make it to New Zealand to visit the real Hobbiton someday, but until then, there are plenty of Hobbit Houses here in the US to explore!
    This episode we're in Russellville, Arkansas for a stay at "The Hobbit House: Fantasy Meets Luxury." Interested in staying here yourself? Here's the link! www.airbnb.com...

    This is such a DREAM! I love how they captured the Hobbit vibe but managed to keep everything modern too. And all of those doors, WOW!

    I totally thought that main bedroom door was just a cool mural or a small closet when you first passed it - but then you opened it up!!! SO COOL.

    So fun! I kind of love how it's a hobbit house only inside. Like a tardis!

    Wow that wood carving and the sheer giantess of everything inside what might otherwise seem like a small space from the outside!

    This house is so cool and y'all put this format together perfectly!! Feels like a classic Travel Channel sort of show. Samantha Brown esque! Really excited for more of these hopefully!!

    i really respect the artist carving around the original nail in the door; keeping the door's history even while reworking it so it can be a part of something new.

    What a cute place! Thanks for sharing your experience! I remember seeing an article about one in Virginia and it looks like it's still up and running. It's in Fairfield, Virginia on airbnb - A Warm Hearth and "All the Comforts of Home".

    • @emkaysmiles

      Yes! I have a long list of them all over the US and that one's definitely on there! There are a few in Virginia, I think.

    Perusing that listing... I loved that outdoor fire pit. Did you use it? A very creative construction there. Did you end up buying one of their custom "Hobbit House" mugs?

    • @emkaysmiles
      @emkaysmiles  Před rokem +2

      Unfortunately no on both accounts! Our visit was very short as it was in between my brother's wedding and heading back to LA for work - we were only there one night and we got in pretty late. Would have loved to have given the fire pit a try!

    Your pure joy and delight in this is in turn a delight and joy for me to behold, especially as I am also a lover of Tolkien and Hobbiton, with dreams of going to New Zealand! Also, I have heard tell of a Hobbit home in Oregon, and if you can, you should definitely add it to the list to check out and share with all of us. :D

    The cedar on the walls is throwing it off, big time. I don’t think Bilbo was living in 1970s US.

    Wonder where they got that fantastic ornamental hinge 3:01? It was obviously made for a hobbit house!

    • @emkaysmiles
      @emkaysmiles  Před rokem +1

      I believe it was all built/made specifically for this house! The owner was telling me how the width of the metal design is a little thicker than in the movies, but the design itself is the same.

  • @fionaokeefe1906

    It looks like a normal house to me🤷🏻‍♀️hobbit houses are mainly built small and semi underground. I think Frodo’s home had a tree growing around it. Their front door is circular. This house has some cool features to it but on the outside it just looks like a normal house! It kinda reminds me of a cabin on the inside! Does this home have a fireplace?
