Deep in California s Siskiyou Mountains, there s a Lord of the Rings -inspired Hobbit Hole.Dan Schultz
Deep in Del Norte County, nearly an hour from Crescent City, there’s an underground Hobbit Hole where you can stay the night in a Lord of the Rings-inspired “damp cave” for $58 a night.
Hand-dug into the side of a mountain, supported by a rebar cage, and “firmed up” with concrete, the tiny, 260-square-foot Hobbit Hole is painted green, with a living roof, an atrium-style skylight, and a toadstool-shaped table out front. At its center, there s a concrete-and-rebar support pillar shaped like a tree trunk, with branches criss-crossing the ceiling. Completing the vibe is a collection of Lord of the Rings books, a sword, some rings, and a crystal ball hanging overhead. The tempurpedic “Hobbit Love Nest Bed” is round and looks up at a medieval Celtic Cross.
