About this cabin rental
If you’re looking for a great mountain getaway, look no further!
Life is all around us. We need to celebrate it, every day. Hikes are free, so are the views from mountain tops and gorgeous waterfalls. Long walks, all levels of hikes, riding a bike, readings good book on the porch swing. Dine at terrific nearby restaurants, or cook the latest NY Times recipe that caught your eye in the petite but well stocked kitchen of the Hobbit House. Then eat by the fireplace, at table, or on the front porch listening to the wind whisper through the trees. Enjoy some quality time watching a movie or sit by the fire (we supply the firewood) laughing and making s'mores. Get a great night's sleep on a super comfy mattress (seriously, SO many guests want to buy one I should get a commission) in the fresh mountain air.
So, with all that said, welcome to the Hobbit House in the breathtaking mountains of western North Carolina. A small space, yes...but such a sanctuary. And don’t we need that these days? The perfect hideout for a week or a long weekend. Just a two minute drive (if that), or a 10 minute walk to the Cashiers crossroads, the Hobbit House is nestled within an acre of mountain laurel, holly and tall pines....an airy, sophisticated Cashiers cabin with in-town seclusion.
The Hobbit House was completely redone with stainless kitchen appliances and new bathroom (note: the bathroom is downstairs from the loft bedroom) and redecorated into a luxurious, warm and peaceful getaway for two - or three, if you have a dog ($100 dog fee). Relax in the woods - yet have all the luxuries of home: HD Roku streaming of TV cable channels with all the possible sports channels plus Netflix, Amazon, Sling etc...washer and dryer and solid Wi-Fi. A petite but modern kitchen and flagstone floored bath with a modern subway-tiled walk-in shower...both on the first floor.. are just off the open living area with a wood burning, stone fireplace.
On cooler days, there is warm air flowing at the flick of a switch plus the fireplace, and an upstairs super efficient standing floor air conditioning unit that keeps the cottage cool on the rare, warmer than normal day. Usually the stainless steel ceiling fans do the trick!
Follow the mountain laurel railing upstairs to the light filled loft bedroom (bathroom downstairs), where a wonderful night's sleep awaits under the rafters. The gel-topped, memory foam, king size bed will soothe you to sleep in the cool mountain air after a day of hiking, waterfalls or shopping.
The Hobbit House is a cabin with a difference. Everything in The Hobbit House has been chosen specifically for this cottage. While poplar bark siding protects the exterior, inside you’ll find a light, modern, designer-mountain feel with a whitewashed shiplap interior, artisan details, the latest energy-efficient appliances and cool art. There are also top quality sheets and fluffy towels...you won't find another place like it except our big sister house. You'll find a link below to the Mountain House if you're looking for something larger (6B-4-1/2B) but with the same easy style.
In the morning, have your coffee on the Sunday porch swing next to the mountain laurel rails that line the deck. Listen to the silence of the rain forest, broken only by the Carolina birds singing their tunes. Promise yourself that today, you WILL make time for reading. Ok, and maybe a nap on that same plush swing-bed. Later, enjoy a glass of wine in the same spot or take it with you walking the secluded roads and trails just outside your door. Then, if you wish, cook dinner in the fully-equipped kitchen or grill outside on the gas grill. Even better, slip away to one of Cashier's many wonderful restaurants that are just minutes away. Welcome to a slice of heaven!
Please be mindful of the septic system and do not flush anything down the toilets or drains other than toilet paper. This includes any and all personal hygiene products, baby wipes, bleaches and strong chemical cleaners.

Beyond beautiful, cozy stay at The Hobbit House. Comfortable, clean. Has everything you would need. Deep in the woods feeling and yet a 15 minute walk to the center of Cashiers. Truly a piece of heaven.

This is such a cute little cabin, and the perfect escape for 2. My wife and I rented this for a week and had such a great time in the mountains!

Beautiful fairytale cottage with bark siding, a wide sitting porch across the front, a wood-burning fireplace with the wood supplied, comfy couch, well stocked functional kitchen, washer/dryer, wonderful large shower, and comfy bed upstairs. Oh and a wonderful cushioned porch swing! What more could you want?One small attraction as there isn’t a lot of space to store, suitcases, bags, coats, boots, etc. Bedroom does not have shelving or a dresser.There are just a couple suggestions we would make. Screens in ALL of the windows, not just the front. Some shelving in the kitchen to place groceries. Maybe a shelf hung over the toilet to place toiletries.We had a wonderful stay and cashiers as a charming little town with a great coffee shop - Buck’s - and a superb Ingles grocery store just down the road. A short drive away is Highland, a lovely walking town.

My wife and I and our 11 year old lab spent ten days at this wonderful cottage completely surrounded by laurel and forest. Leaves where changing color while we were there and resulted in a spectacular view from a very roomy porch. There was a very comfortable swing sofa on the porch and I can vouch for the fact that it is conducive to napping. You are secluded in a forest yet only 0.8 miles from the center of Cashiers. If you are desiring quiet this is the place. The cottage was very comfortable and cozy. It was well equipped and the owner Donna has used her talents to decorate it very tastefully with some fun items. The bed was very comfortable as was the large couch facing the fireplace. We had a fire going in the fireplace pretty much the whole time we were there. The wood burning fireplace drew quite well and there was an enormous pile of wood for our use. To sum up---we loved the place! If you cannot relax at this cottage you have a serious problem. The cottage is within a short driving distance of innumerable hikes. On most of the hikes you will see beautiful waterfalls. Our lab loved all the hikes and walks. There are plenty of good restaurants to choose from. You can get a good cappuccino at Buck's. You can rent a boat at Lake Glenville. We have rented a lot of properties over the years but Donna is unmatched in her attention to detail. The information we received prior to arriving was the most complete we have ever seen. She communicated with us to insure we were not in need of anything. She sent us up-to-date information about events in the area. When we left I had a senior moment and left something of value to me. She very graciously and rapidly arranged for it to be delivered to me. She was fantastic. She is the kind of person you want to rent from.
