This elk has been in the town forever, but this past year the elk has been refurbished and installed as the centerpiece of the town. This elk frames Appalachia in the sense of this small town pride in the mountains. In the background you can see the historic elementary school and rolling mountains and once again the North Carolina pride of the state flag surrounding this elk even though about 100ft to the right there is another flagpole with the same flags raised high and proud.

Truly just 2 lovely bedrooms with king size bed, the loft hardly qualifies except for kids or an easy to please adult, so, a little interesting for 4 adult women; we did ok. Living area cozy. Cool outside spaces, but we had lots of rain, so lotsa games, good food & drink. Thanks. ##### Carol L. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mimi H.

This house is not secluded but it sure feels like it when sitting on back porch listening to the river. There are not a lot of bells and whistles but what it does offer is relaxation. Taking a nice soaking bath, sitting down by the river or just waiting patiently for your burgers to grill, this small space delivers a big memory. Thomas and Mimi ##### Mimi H.

This was our second stay at the Hobbit House. It was better than I had remembered. Clean, fully stocked with everything you might need for a stay. Comfy beds and the open windows with the sound of the river is magical. Caught trout right from the back yard! We will be back. Don’t hesitate. If you’re thinking of staying in this area you can’t go wrong !!! It’s beautiful ##### Jackie F. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Wheeler C. Sep 25, 2023 Liked: Check-in, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Winter vacation The house was cozy and had what we needed. It wasn’t the cleanest when we arrived so I spent about 15-20 minutes taking care of stuff but overall it was ok. The heat wasn’t even in all of the house. The bedroom with the door shut got really really hot while the rest of the house was cooler. The beds were fine. Bathrooms were good. The water leaks a little out into the floor when showering. Our kids loved the river. ##### Wheeler C.
