While the interior of the cabin is wonderful, with views like this, you'll probably want to spend most of your time outside on the wraparound deck.

1. Hobbit Knoll - Asheville

A charming stone house with a green roof, featuring arched wooden doors and surrounded by lush greenery.

In Tolkien's imaginary world, hobbits lived in hobbit holes burrowed deep into the hillside or beneath the ground. And while the Hobbit Knoll is probably much more upscale than Tolkien's creations, it's still primed for adventure. A spacious 800-square-foot underground hobbit house Airbnb in Asheville awaits with unique architectural accents and amenities galore.

A circular wooden doorway leads into a cozy bedroom with rustic decor and warm lighting.

The home can accommodate up to four people with one bedroom that has a queen bed and a second queen bed in the magical form of a transformational Murphy bed that appears only when needed and tucks away at other times. Additionally, the kitchen is fully equipped, and the home has a gas fireplace. The view out the front door includes the beautiful mountains of the Asheville area. Climb the rock stairs up to the soil-covered roof of this hobbit hole to enjoy some of the unique outdoor spaces available. You simply can't go wrong with a stay here.

For pricing, a complete list of amenities, and other booking information, visit the Hobbit Knoll listing on Airbnb.

2. Lucy Lu's Hobbit House - China Grove

The Cherry Treesort's Lucy Liu Hobbit House can host up to four people. The home is 400 square feet and has a queen bedroom and another queen bed that pulls out of the sofa in the living room.

Cozy room featuring circular wooden arches, a sofa, a bed, and warm lighting in a rustic setting.

The bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen essentials are supplied by the host. And this cute little hobbit house currently has a near-perfect score among reviews from past guests. Enjoy cool evenings out by the fire pit before snuggling up in your hobbit hole for a good night's sleep. It's the perfect little place for a small family to escape.

3. WNC Hobbit Homestead - Fletcher

A modern home with a green roof, wooden exterior, large windows, and a patio surrounded by greenery.
Management / Airbnb

This spacious 385-square-foot hobbit hole features a separate bedroom, plus a convertible sofa, making the total number of guests it can accommodate four. A kitchen and bathroom round out the indoor amenities... but are certainly not the most stunning of the home's appeal. The big row of windows on the front of the earthen home affords guests stunning views of the mountains - and a cedar hot tub provides just the place to sip some wine and watch the sunset. Sounds like a great way to end the day, don't you agree?

Cozy living space with a gray sofa, modern kitchen, decorative plants, and a wood stove, featuring warm lighting and stylish decor.

This Luxurious Glamping Dome in North Carolina Is One of the Most Unusual Airbnb Listings Ever

Experience the ultimate glamping getaway in North Carolina's Chimney Rock, Lake Lure area with luxurious domes offering scenic views and modern amenities.

In light of the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene, the location mentioned in this article has been severely damaged or destroyed. Please consult local authorities and official updates for the most current information regarding the affected area.

Whoever invented the gentle art of glamping deserves more than an award or simple recognition. Glamping (especially glamping in the mountains of North Carolina) is truly an addicting experience, to say the least. Once you've glamped and enjoyed a few more luxuries you just can't get while traditional camping, you may not want to go back to regular camping. Without further ado, here's more on why you'll want to book at least a few nights at this one-of-a-kind dome Airbnb in North Carolina.

One of the most unusual glamping experiences you'll find in the Tar Heel State is found in the Chimney Rock, Lake Lure area. It's here, on the side of a mountain that you'll find a pair of glamping domes that are like a five-star hotel, compared to regular tent camping.

Imagine falling asleep in Dome #1 (featured throughout this article) while counting the stars high above. One whole side of the dome features a see-through wall, perfect for bringing the outdoors into your luxurious getaway for the night or weekend (or longer).

The dome features just the right amount of space for two guests to get cozy and comfortable for the duration of the stay. A comfortable mattress and all bed linens are provided.

Indoor plumbing, including a shower with hot water, is provided in a space that feels more like a spa than a restroom in a remote dome on the side of a mountain. And over in the kitchen, a fridge, microwave, pots and pans, silverware, and other essentials for preparing and serving a delicious meal are provided.

You'll really want for nothing in this luxurious little getaway. It even has an air conditioner as well as heating. What more could you possibly want?

How about a private hot tub? Yes ... it has that, too! After your late afternoon soak with a glass of wine, head across the lawn to the fire pit, where you can gaze into the glowing flame as you watch the sun go down on a fabulous day.

As mentioned earlier, there are two luxurious glamping domes listed by this Airbnb host. The second one (seen here overlooking the water) is nearby and is equally wonderful.
