The Little Shire welcomes winter hikers, winter-ready warm even in 10° weather.

Discover a magical hobbit-inspired glamping pod. Step through the iconic round door into a curved, storybook interior bathed in the soft, flickering glow of old lanterns, creating an enchanting atmosphere that feels straight out of Middle-earth. Twinkling lights overhead add to the charm, inviting you to relax, dream, and lose yourself in the magic.

Perched at the highest point of the property, the pod offers breathtaking panoramic views of mountains and the serene creek below. Inside, a plush full bed, a full bathroom with a shower, and a charming kitchen nook with a mini fridge, microwave, and cooktop combine comfort with whimsy.

Outside, your private firepit awaits. Whether you’re seeking a romantic escape, a quiet hiking retreat, or a serene hideaway, this glamping pod offers a magical sanctuary where enchantment, nature, and comfort meet.
