🛏️ Bedrooms & Sleeping Spaces
🌅 Master Bedroom — King Bed
Wake up surrounded by 180° views of Lake Cascade from the comfort of a king-size bed. Pour a cup of coffee, settle in, and watch the morning light come across the lake without ever leaving your room. A dedicated desk with monitor makes it easy to sneak in a little work—although the view may make concentrating difficult.
📚 Master Living Room — Sofa Bed
Just off the primary bedroom, this cozy living space is made for slowing down. Curl up with a book, enjoy a quiet place to stretch or exercise, or relax surrounded by the character of the Hobbit House. The sofa converts into an additional bed, making the space just as functional at night.
🌙 Bedroom Two — Queen Bed + Double and Single Bed
Part bedroom, part bonus room, this big open space is made for sleepovers and late-night giggle parties. With a comfy queen bed plus two additional beds for the kiddos, there’s plenty of room to settle in, spread out, and make some of the best memories of the trip.
🏰 The Cottage Tower + Rooftop Balcony
Climb the winding log stairs and step into a little tower straight out of a fairy tale. Tucked above the trees, it’s the perfect hideaway to curl up with a book, sip your morning coffee, or simply slow down for a while. Step outside onto the rooftop balcony for sweeping views of the lake and property—and a front-row seat as the sun sets over your own storybook escape.
☀️ Sunroom — Front-Row Lake Views
This is the kind of room that makes you forget what time it is. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame Lake Cascade, while comfy couches invite you to settle in with your morning coffee, curl up with a book, or simply watch the lake change throughout the day. It’s a quiet little front-row seat to everything happening outside.
🏰 Sunken Living Room — Cozy Castle Vibes
Step down into the sunken living room and you might forget you’re in Idaho. Rock walls give this space the feeling of a cozy hidden room inside a castle, while plush couches, a Smart TV, and the warmth of the propane stove make it the perfect place to gather. Turn on a movie, get cozy by the fire, and settle in after a day on the lake or mountain.
🔥 The Patio — Your Private Outdoor Retreat
Tucked beneath the trees on a secluded one-acre lot, the patio is where long lake days turn into unforgettable nights. Gather for dinner around the outdoor seating, fire up the Blackstone or Traeger, then cozy up around the fire pit beneath the stars. Swing in a hammock among the trees, watch for passing wildlife, or embrace the full woodland experience with the one-of-a-kind underground wood-burning sauna and wood-fired hot tub you prepare yourself. Private, peaceful, and made for slowing down.

“Wow! We loved the Hobbit House! I don’t even want to write a review because we want to be able to come back year after year and not have it be booked—everyone in my family LOVED it—perfect for all ages. It is adorable, so unique, clean, perfect location... It has EVERYTHING you could possibly need and more, seriously the most stocked Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at... This place couldn’t be more perfect.”

“This magical cottage is something out of a fairy tale... The views and natural lighting will take your breath away; this place is truly one-of-a-kind. I've stayed in many cabins in the McCall/Donnelly area and none of them hold a candle to the uniqueness of this surreal little getaway.”
