Tolkien fans will be thrilled to know they can have a real-life Hobbit experience at the Shire-themed Hobbit House of Montana.
It's the perfect place to spend Hobbit Day — Sept. 22, for the birthdays of both Bilbo and Frodo — or Tolkien Week, the calendar week containing Sept. 22.
The adults-only, themed vacation rental, in Trout Falls, Mont., is available for $245 a night, May through October.
The Shire, as owners Steve and Chris Michaels call it, offers a pleasant, authentic experience, down to the last details of the doorknobs and cobblestones.
A welcoming sign greets you as you drive up on Hobbit Lane.
Don't drive in without making a stop at the Troll House first! Guests get a Troll House cookie when they check in.
Just like in "The Hobbit," everything really is underground. Take a look from this view from above. There are plenty of trails and paths to hike in the foothills of the Cabinet Mountains.
