This Hobbit Hole in Virginia looks stellar if you want a peaceful getaway. Inside the round green door is a one-bedroom cabin with a queen bed, kitchenette, and a bathroom complete with a rainfall shower.

The owners added various handmade special touches, including the counters and furniture! The family also did the welding, and the wife upkeeps the beautiful nearby garden.

The mood is complete with a picket fence, Adirondack chairs, and a fire pit. You can book your stay on Airbnb.

Hello!

My husband and I (in our late 50’s and 60’s)  are building a Hobbit House in the Hill Country of Texas.

You can follow our progress at:   www.texashobbithouse.com     We also have a FB group with the same name.

While this almost-600sf HH may not qualify for a “tiny house”, it will still require careful consideration in terms of space-saving techniques!  The unique construction may prove challenging when it comes to working with curved spaces where square things generally go:  cabinetry, shelving, etc.

We look forward to suggestions, questions, and even constructive criticism, if absolutely necessary and given in a helpful spirit!

Mat and Danielle from Exploring Alternatives went to check out this Hobbit House at the Toits du Monde eco-resort in Nominingue, Quebec after seeing photos of the cabin online.

The green roof has a really unique design that extends all the way down to the ground with leg-like extensions that provide shade in the summer and retain heat in the winter.

The cabin was built with straw bale walls and limestone plaster, and log rafters and support beams. It is completely off-grid. Enjoy!

Gary Zuker is the owner of this little hobbit house in Texas. In 1989 he built it by hand for about $25,000 and lots of labor. The home took three years to complete. He is a University of Texas computer engineer with no carpentry experience before this project.

In total, the space is about 830-square-feet with lots of open areas. Gary had the help of Pliny Fisk, a local sustainable building expert in Austin. Here are some details on the materials used:

• • Straw-clay
  • Loblolly pine for scissor-truss system
  • Limestone boulders for doorway, fireplace, and foundation
  • Stained-glass windows
  • Salvaged windows, flooring, and kitchen cabinets
