Great little house to stay in. Good location, owner told us everything we would need to know. The property is cozy but cute and the fold out couch/bed was surprisingly comfy! Would stay here again.
I came back to The Ned after living there back in the early 70’s. It was nice to stay in a neighborhood where it was nice and quiet. Highly recommend the Hobbit place!
We were able to walk to all the locations we wanted to go in town. The Hobbit house was well stocked with anything you'd need away from home. 10/10 would stay again.
Absolutely Magical Stay at the Hobbit House!My husband and I stayed at the Hobbit House from October 24–27 while wedding venue hunting for our daughter, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The moment we arrived, we felt cozy, comfortable, and completely at home. Every detail was thoughtful, and the space had everything we needed for a relaxing, memorable stay.We loved walking into town, meeting new friends, and soaking up the wonderful views, live music, and great food. The area’s easygoing, welcoming energy made the experience even more special.The Hobbit House itself is pure charm — cozy, creative, and surrounded by beauty. It felt like stepping into a storybook. We left refreshed, grateful, and already planning our next visit.If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind getaway that combines comfort, creativity, and amazing vibes, this is it. Thank you for sharing such a magical spot with us!
I loved how nice this house was, and that it had everything we needed and more just in case. It was a great location being so close to the downtown area with adorable local shops and restaurants. The only bummer was that the microwave did not work while we were there, but I trust that they will resolve that quickly. Thanks again for an awesome stay, we had a wonderful visit!
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at the hobbit house. It was a cute little cabin that suited our needs for our long weekend. Great location, super close to town but still felt private. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5, is that the listing made it seem like there was a queen bed in addition to a pull out couch. The only bed is the pull out couch, which worked fine for us, but the listing definitely made it seem like there was an additional queen bed.

Great location
Location as advertised! Listing is a little confusing. At first I thought there was a bedroom with a bed, plus a pull out sofa. There is no bedroom! Great place in a great location though- walk to all of Nederland. Comfortable and clean.
The hobbit house is adorable and comfortable and a close walk to town.
After a couple issues (house had not been cleaned when we arrived and hot water and fireplace did not work initially (electrical storm may have knocked it out), Amy was very responsive to all these issues and reacted quickly to remedy them both. The cleaning caused an hour and 15 minute delay in getting into the house and the hot water issue was fixed within a few hours of our noticing the issue. Although we got off to a rough start, we appreciate Amy's quick response in remedying the situation. Life happens and we need to roll with it. We would recommend this house if looking for a place in Nederland.

On positive note this property is cute & comfy. It was very clean inside and close to town and to our family that we were visiting. Good value.
On the downside getting up to property once you park your car the path to Hobbit House was narrow (about 18" footpath) poorly lit and medium sized bolders in it. The solar lights were covered over by 2' tall brush. The outside grounds were not mowed and unkept. My husband is 78 and it was difficult for him to walk up and down to Hobbit House. The pictures in VRBO do not show it from street level.
Also, if you like your coffee and a lot of it. They only have a Kuerig available. Bring your own pot or make one cup at a time.
A shout out to Amy (Host). We had a problem with the Keurig leaking water in tray and there were only 3 pods in rental when we arrived. She came right away with a bag of pods. Took machine and said it was fixed. I hated to bother her again but it was still leaking.
On a whole it was fine. Wanted to make anyone else looking to rent Hobbit House made aware of accessibility if you have issues walking.
Me and my girlfriend loved our stay at The Hobbit house, it was super cute and in a perfect spot for all our mountain adventures. I'm 6'4 and the pull out bed was a little short just an FYI for me, but the place itself was amazing with high ceilings. We had an issue with the pipes in the bathroom shower, but Amy was fast to respond and very helpful.
The whole place was clean & cozy, and the views from the little courtyard were sublime! I’m a huge Tolkien fan so really appreciated the “Hobbit House” theme.
