The Shire of Montana

Dwelling of the Human kind amonst the Hobbits in a fairy like village. The accomodations are Five * as most Hobbits like it nice and cozy. The building of the Shire with all of its intricate details was designed with the Adult in mind. We spared no expense in bringing out the true nature of what JRR Tolkien had in mind in helping to bring out the “Inner Child” in all who visit. Our most common comment is how soothing, quite and enchanting the Hobbit House is with everyone stating that we left no detail out in the building of our little Shire. Therefore, this was not intended to be a children’s playground but a playground for adults to let their imagination run free.  The Story: We were building a small underground guest home for family and friends that would support easy heating in the winter and cooling in the summer. One day the contractor’s son mentioned that it looked just like a Hobbit House from JRR Tolkien’s trilogy the Hobbit. From then on, all of our attention and energy has gone into making this a first class Whimsical Village.  The House at the Shire comes complete with a full kitchen including a barbeque on the deck. There are two bars and restaurants in Trout Creek and a handful of restaurants and bars in Thompson Falls just a short drive away. One we would highly recommend in Thompson Falls, especially for breakfast, is Minnie's on Main Street. They will fill your plate and have excellent prices - make sure to order their special Home Fries with onions instead of Hash Browns... a real treat. If you feel adventuresome, you could always drive over the pass (except winter) for a good ribs and steak restaurant at the Spragpole in Murray, Idaho. For more elegant dining, drive on Hwy 200 past Paradise toward St. Regis and soak in the hot pools with a later dining experience at Quinn’s Hot Springs Resort.  This unique Guest Resort features spectacular views of Cougar Peak and Whitepine Alpaca Ranch. Stay in an authentic but luxurious dwelling which lies in the colorful forested foothills of the Cabinet Mountains up in the Shire of Whitepine Valley approximately 8 Miles S.E. of Trout Creek, the huckleberry capital of Montana and 16 miles N.W. of Thompson Falls. This lushly appointed Tourist Home is tastefully furnished with a crafted King Size Bedroom, a smaller cozy bedroom, HD-Blu-Ray TV, land line Phones and Wi-Fi, XM Radio and a designer’s kitchen furnished with customized granite counters, and all the appliances and tools a chef needs for gourmet creations including the pots and pans, dishes, silverware and even a spice rack. This enchanted guest retreat also includes a deck with gas barbeque.
