A Middle-earth-Inspired Mountain Hideaway from $246 a Night for Two Guests
Calling all Lord of the Rings fans! 🧙♂️ With TWO new Middle-earth movies on the way, we found the perfect place to celebrate your love of all things Tolkien. And no, you don't have to fly all the way to New Zealand!
Hidden in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada, there's a round wooden door set into a hillside, and behind it is a hearth, a stack of board games, and absolutely no Wi-Fi. The Second Breakfast Hideaway (rated 4.96/5 on Airbnb with 82 reviews) is a halfling-inspired earth house on a 400-acre working ranch, about 30 minutes east of the wine town of Osoyoos. It's a great fit for couples, Tolkien fans, and anyone who wants to properly unplug for a couple of nights.
One-of-a-kind stays like this tend to fill up fast over the holidays, yet we found Christmas Eve through December 26 still open at $491 total for two nights with all fees included, which works out to about $246 per night (or $123 per person, per night!).
If you've ever dreamed of living like Bilbo Baggins, this might be the closest you'll get without moving to the Shire.
Inside, you'll find a cozy queen bed, rustic wooden furnishings, and a fireplace perfect for curling up beside with a good book. There's also a surprisingly well-equipped kitchenette with a stovetop, microwave, coffee maker, and everything you need to prepare your first (and second) breakfast.
Step outside, and the scenery is every bit as impressive. The private patio overlooks the surrounding mountains, with views of Mt. Baldy, and there's a BBQ and outdoor fire pit for evenings under the stars.
And speaking of stars, guests rave about the night sky here. With hardly any light pollution, you might even catch the Milky Way stretching overhead!
🏡 A real-life hobbit hole with a round wooden door, cozy fireplace, and charming halfling-inspired details
🎄 Christmas in the Canadian mountains with the possibility of a snowy, storybook setting
⛰️ Beautiful mountain views from the outdoor patio overlooking Mt. Baldy
🌌 Incredible stargazing far from city lights, with guests reporting spectacular views of the Milky Way
🔥 Cozy nights by the fire with books, board games, and no Wi-Fi to distract you
🔝 One of Airbnb's top-rated stays with a 4.96/5 guest rating and a spot among the top 10% of eligible homes
Beyond the adorable hobbit-hole design, we love how much thought has gone into making this place feel like a proper little escape. It's the kind of accommodation where you can spend an entire afternoon reading by the fire, playing board games, or watching the wildlife outside without feeling like you're missing out on anything.
And if you're visiting over Christmas, there's something especially charming about the idea of waking up in a little hillside home, making a warm breakfast, and watching the winter scenery outside.
Plus, you're only about 30 minutes from Osoyoos, a lakeside town in British Columbia's wine country. If you feel like venturing beyond your hobbit hole, you can explore the surrounding area before returning to your cozy hideaway.
