In a state as vast as North Carolina, there are many unusual Airbnb rentals that transform a getaway into an adventure of a lifetime. In the case of the Airbnb rental known as Hobbithenge, a fantasy-like experience awaits in an earthen home made of clay and mud and covered with soil and grass. If you're into rustic experiences right out of the Tolkien realm, then prepare for a getaway you'd never expect here in the Tar Heel State.
Hobbithenge is found approximately 20 minutes south of Asheville. The little earthen dwelling is in the most picturesque of spots, secluded on a mountain plateau with extraordinary views of the surrounding mountains.
Everything about the space is both extremely rustic and completely inspiring.
From jewels embedded into the clay walls and stained-glass window panes covering some of the openings, Hobbithenge is a beautiful place to enjoy some solitude amongst nature.
The home was handcrafted using mud, clay, and wood sourced from the property on which it rests. A lofty area reached by way of a ladder contains a futon bed. (Sheets and pillows are provided.)
But Hobbithenge isn't for the light of heart. It's very rustic in terms of accommodations.
You're sure to feel a bit like a hobbit in this unique earthen home. Its rustic feel may seem a bit edgy for some, so be sure to read the entire description on the Airbnb page for the listing. A solar panel provides some energy and the home comes equipped with a wood stove, a gas heater, and limited power converted from a solar panel. A full electric outdoor kitchen is only steps away, should you want to use it.
Guests have access to a cold water outdoor shower that will definitely wake you up any time of day, and an outhouse is only a minute away.
Overall, Hobbithenge and its host have stellar ratings from those who stay and love the experience of this secluded hobbit-themed home.
It's available year-round and currently listed on Airbnb for $84/night — not a bad price for living like a hobbit for a day or two.
