A round door, a river, and a redwood horizon.

We've hosted travelers in Three Rivers for nine years. Most of our homes are big and open — perfect for families who want to spread out and run wild between hikes in Sequoia. The Hobbit House is the opposite. It's small. It's hidden. It's the kind of place you arrive at and let your shoulders drop.

The idea came from a conversation about what a truly cozy stay would feel like in this part of the foothills. Not a cabin, not a cottage — something more elemental. Something built into the hill itself.

“In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole … it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.”

So we're building one. A handcrafted home with a real round door, curving plaster walls, hand-stitched textiles, and warm light from real lanterns. The river runs out front, the Sierra Nevada rises behind, and the Sequoia National Park gate is a five-minute drive up the road.

We're hoping to open in late spring. Join the waitlist and we'll let you know the moment the first booking window opens — direct guests get the first picks, and never pay an Airbnb fee.
