Shire in the Woods is a unique cluster of cabins near McGrath, Minnesota inspired by the idyllic, bucolic Shire from the books of J.R.R. Tolkien. It has trails, games, yoga, a gift shop, and best of all, the Shire Farm where you can spend time with several horses, including a miniature horse, a donkey named Donkey, and several dogs, cats, and chickens. Let’s take a look at The Loft.

This is just one of the seven cabins available at the Shire. A cozy, comfy cabin known as The Loft. While it's not underground, any Hobbit would feel right at home. This is the smallest of the cabins and is perfect for one or two.
