1. Hobbit Knoll - Asheville

Management / Airbnb
In Tolkien's imaginary world, hobbits lived in hobbit holes burrowed deep into the hillside or beneath the ground. And while the Hobbit Knoll is probably much more upscale than Tolkien's creations, it's still primed for adventure.
Management / Airbnb
A spacious 800-square-foot underground hobbit house Airbnb in Asheville awaits with unique architectural accents and amenities galore.
The home can accommodate up to four people with one bedroom that has a queen bed and a second queen bed in the magical form of a transformational Murphy bed that appears only when needed and tucks away at other times.
Asheville, NC, USA
Management / Airbnb
Additionally, the kitchen is fully equipped and the home has a gas fireplace. The view out the front door includes the beautiful mountains of the Asheville area. Climb the rock stairs up to the soil-covered roof of this hobbit hole to enjoy some of the unique outdoor spaces available.

Management / Airbnb
This spacious 385-square-foot hobbit hole features a separate bedroom, plus a convertible sofa, making the total number of guests it can accommodate four.

A kitchen and bathroom round out the indoor amenities... but are certainly not the most stunning of the home's appeal.
The big row of windows on the front of the earthen home affords guests stunning views of the mountains - and a cedar hot tub provides just the place to sip some wine and watch the sun set.

What are some interesting places to stay in North Carolina?
There are numerous unique rentals in North Carolina like a hobbit house in Nashville or a treehouse in China Grove. If you are looking for something a little bit different, check out one of these interesting places to stay in North Carolina:

  • Sugar Creek Treehouse, Green Mountain, NC: Halfway between the charming towns of Boone and Asheville you'll find this cool treehouse rental nestled in the woods. This rustic log cabin-style treehouse was handmade with cozy woodsy decor to enhance the feeling of staying in the trees. There is nothing more enchanting than soaking in the hot tub in the woods while the stars come out at night or a crackling campfire sends sparks dancing to the heavens.
  • Movie Set Tiny Home, Millers Creek, NC: This quirky tiny home rental in a remote wooded forest is probably the most original place you'll find to stay. The builders and hosts were movie set designers so they had a lot of fun when creating this masterpiece. You'll find everything from a ten-foot Native American torso guarding the entrance to a giant octopus-themed room with a porthole.
  • Smithmore Castle, Spruce Pine, NC: Imagine staying in a castle on top of English Knob with 360-degree views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. With six bedrooms and room for 14 guests, you can have your own Knights of the Round Table getaway. The castle is filled with modern amenities like a gourmet chef's kitchen, yet the interior design is more medieval elegance with an eight-foot Swarovski crystal chandelier and a dining area fit for a king and his entourage.
