About this house rental
Built in 1944, the Hobbit house is one of the first sustainable homes in California ... designed and built by "green" architect Carr Jones. All of the building materials were reused and recycled: all bricks are reminiscence from the 1908 earthquake in San Francisco, the wood was repurposed from old ships, and the metalwork is the product of old anchor chains.
The home is comfortably appointed with Jones’ trademark brickwork, unique roofing, radiant heated floors, and rusticated lumber. A truly spectacular example of amazing craftsmanship and creative design sensibilities.
The house is uniquely divided into two spaces, separated by a charming courtyard and pool. In the main house {2 story}, you will find the master loft bedroom, kitchen, with an open area downstairs. The second one-story building (1100. sq ft) has two bedrooms, a sitting area, with 2 fireplaces. and 1.5 bathrooms.

10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
This place was amazing. The neighborhood was lovely - you never know what you might get in Sacramento - but everything was very nice. The architecture and natural conservation of energy as well as all the cute little nooks and considerations were just so fun. I would love the opportunity to stay there again. The only thing that might make it better is to have larger beds in the extra rooms. It’s hard for a couple to stay in a double bed.

This is an amazing property, so unique, exactly what we look for on VRBO. Worked out great with the main house and the guest cottage in the back for 2 couples, each have their own space with the pool between. Temperatures were low 100s and high 90s so the pool was fabulous. Julie was very responsive to questions, thank you! We will be back!

Fun place to stay. Unique. Interesting architecture and house history, but also comfortable and well maintained. Great neighborhood for walks and nearby food.
