This is cool - Small stone cottage in PA farm field perfect for Hobbits.

Wonder if if has an Inglenook? Gives me a few ideas for my stone stacks & assorted old timbers...

Not quite as true to the books and movie . . . but I would guess a little more affordable for most folks.

Built in my home town by an enterprising young couple.

I have to hide this post from my hubby, his obsession with LOTR is worse than mine for A Christmas Story. He has the original editions of the book and yells at the TV every time he watches it as the book is different from the movies. He is pondering how they are turning a very short book The Hobbit! Into a full length feature film.

Where we live, the locals call, down in the holler, because its between the slate ridges on the PA side with similar ridges across the river in the NJ side. We joke about living in a Hobbit house because its a bank barn of pointed stone. If he sees these articles, he will want to convert our house to them!

The movies are OK but that house is cool!
