Hobbithouse at the White Lotus Eco Spa Retreat

Positive: Easy self check-in. Comfortable and spacious stay. Hosts were quick in response to questions. Very peaceful and quiet location.

We had a lovely stay at the Hobbit House. It was exactly as pictured and the space itself was larger than we expected! It also has wonderful natural light throughout and a fabulous deck! The kitchen was decently stocked with cooking basics, the bed was comfortable, the jacuzzi tub felt like a real treat, and having 2 bathrooms was a major plus! The one thing I’ll note is that if you have questions during your stay or you need something, you need to advocate for yourself. My partner and I arrived after dark and after checking in to the Hobbit House, we drove our car around the grounds using the map that David provided. We were unsure which of the properties on the grounds were communally shared with other White Lotus guests so we were happy to find a long-term guest in one of the shared kitchens at the Zen Lodge who gave us the lay of the land and let us know where we could find the jacuzzi (which was not on the map provided), sauna, and breakfast locations in the morning. If you plan to partake in the breakfast provided and you are staying in the Hobbit House, please note that you will need to walk a short (but hilly) distance or drive to other proprieties on the grounds. We did not end up using the sauna or jacuzzi. During our stay, David was away and from other reviews it sounded like he was happy to build a fire for guests who wanted to use the sauna. However, we were there during Christmas and David was away so guests had to prepare the sauna for themselves (and did, we saw it in use)! We also ran into other guests exploring the grounds and enjoyed meeting them. If you are the type of person that expects everything to be ready at your convenience when you book accommodations, you should adjust your expectations for your stay at the Hobbit House and on the grounds. We brought all our food for cooking so we were well-prepared and we celebrated a wonderful, calm, and memorable Christmas at the Hobbit House. As there is no TV or DVD player in the Hobbit House, we brought a projector, DVD player, and sheet from home to enjoy some Christmas movies and that was very magical. We also enjoyed the communal nature of the grounds. It felt sort of like camp! We would recommend the Hobbit House and stay here again without hesitation!

My husband and I love staying in the Hobbit House. The area is so nice and peaceful and is off the grid. We can relax, hike, read, and get some quality down time without any disturbances or distractions. We will plan many more vacations here.

Positive: the whole Retreat area is so relaxing and beautiful.my site was very clean and so adorable! I will be booking again Negative: nothing everything was great

Worth the stay Positive: Luxury glamping experience. Beautiful, clean, relaxing atmosphere. I'm really happy I actually booked. I've always wanted to stay in a hobbit style house. The design of the home and entire property was well thought out in my opinion. Negative: Wish we scheduled some of the activities on site. Will do next time!
