BRIDESVILLE, B.C. - The owner of a British Columbia Airbnb property paying tribute to the fantasy race of hobbits from the "Lord of the Rings" has been forced to change the name of her property after being threatened with a lawsuit.
Christina Le Comte bought the Hobbit Mountain Hole in 2020 as part of a larger purchase of a ranch in B.C.'s Thompson Okanagan area.
