From the moment you ascend the drive, open the front door, and step aside, this place will astonish you. It's all the things a vacation rental should be -- clean, beautifully furnished, well-equipped, and comfortable -- but it's also so much more! During our three-day stay, we watched The Lord of the Rings trilogy (both the theatrical and extended versions are thoughtfully supplied on blu-ray), and the story that we love so much came alive for us in a new way. There are so many small details, both indoors and out, to delight and enchant. The owners even supplied us with snacks and beverages, because hobbits, after all, eat six times a day. :-) We were also greeted on arrival with a lovely bottle of wine and a card congratulating us on our anniversary, which was the reason for our visit, a detail that I had disclosed when making the reservation six months prior. We will treasure our memories of staying in this incredible place, and we hope to return someday!
