Hobbit Holes in Tennessee aren’t necessarily a new idea, but how cool is it that people have made the effort to make these amazing rentals?! Today we are going to take you on a journey -- not to Middle Earth but into the forests of McEwen, Tennessee. There you will find the Wee Nook, a clever earthen home that is awaiting your next great adventure. This Airbnb is a wholly unique stay in Tennessee that you won't soon forget.
The whimsical world J.R.R. Tolkien created comes to life on the property of the Rock N Roll Refuge. On the rolling hills and wooded property you will find a fantasy world fit for halflings. The Wee Nook not only has a great name but is a phenomenal spot for this earthen home.
The door is masterfully crafted, giving the illusion that you have indeed stepped into the Shire. The small opening is even designed to mimic the small stature of the Hobbits, so expect to duck like Gandalf upon entering.
Hobbits lived in luxury and so will you when you rent out this space for a getaway. The Wee Nook is stocked with a full kitchen, bathroom, living space, and bedroom all under the small 360 square-foot living space.
The curved roof really is an artistic design choice that pays off quite nicely. It will be easy to get lost in the story and feel like you really are escaping to the rolling hills of the Hobbit utopia.
The Hobbits certainly loved their creature comforts so here you will find all your towels, and toiletry essentials covered. They even have locally made soap to lather up with during your stay.
There is no internet, no television, and little to no cell phone reception. This is meant to be a full nature retreat where you unplug and enjoy the world around you without screens. After all, these were all things you wouldn’t find in the Shire anyway.
Bring some games, snuggle up with a good book, and cook LOTS of good food to eat while you spend quality time with your family. If you forget something to read, don’t worry you will find one of the world’s greatest tales ever told inside the Wee Nook.
During your stay, light up a fire and allow the swirl of smoke to waft through the property gathering your family around the sweet smell and crackling sounds.
There is something so life-giving about the simple pleasures of a campfire, and it somehow is even better while staying in your very own "hobbit hole."
Gather your family and retreat into the forested wonderland found in McEwen for one of the coolest Hobbit Holes in Tennessee. Insert yourself in the story of the Lord of the Rings like never before with an unplugged refuge. To book your trip make sure you head to the Wee Nook Airbnb page where your next adventure awaits.

Summer Airbnb rentals can add a lasting and memorable experience to the carefree days when the kids are out of school. I have many fond memories of lazy summer days, exploring new places with my cousins, and feeling the sense of wonder that comes from these few magical months. When you add a vacation rental and spend the time as a family together it can make all the difference. We have alot of unique places to stay in Tennessee, but here are a few last-minute Airbnbs to make the most of those precious fleeting moments of summer break.
Nothing beats a summer getaway to the Great Smoky Mountains. Gatlinburg is one of the best places to visit and vacation, boasting a near-endless array of things to see and do. I love camping, but I also enjoy finding unique places to stay -- so this glamping experience gives offers the best of both worlds. You can have all the comforts of home hidden away in this beautiful geodesic dome all while still being positioned in the great outdoors. You can simply soak in the hot tub, roast s'mores over the fire, and meander near the trickling stream for a true camping experience. You also have the opportunity to be within very close driving distance to many of the great adventures and attractions waiting for you in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. This
" target="_blank">Riverfront Glamping Dome really does offer a tremendous stay and is the perfect place to end the summer before everyone goes back to school.
2. The White House On Shell Mountain - Sevierville, TN
Sevierville is a quickly developing beauty here in the Smoky Mountains. This town was once thought of as merely the "buffer" between Pigeon Forge and the busy interstate, but has now become a destination in and of itself. You can’t beat the views as you crest the hill heading towards the Smoky Mountains and with the White House on Shell Mountain, you can see that vista every morning! This stay is meant to be an (ahem) elevated experience where everything you need for a staycation is right in this mountain-top rental. There is an indoor pool with massive windows allowing you to have the most scenic views while swimming. Similarly, you can soak in the hot tub under the cover while ogling the most beautiful mountains in East Tennessee. There is plenty of room for a larger family gathering if you want to invite others along for the fun too. The multi-use game room is a place to challenge your family members for the top score and bragging rights, of course. Sevierville also has plenty of amazing attractions like one of my favorites the Scenic Helicopter Tours. Make your summer memorable with a luxurious stay in the Smokies.
If you adore animals and/or all things Wild West, The Band Wagon is a place for you. Not only is it a clever name but you will be staying in a pioneering wonderland in this large covered wagon. This glamping experience is all done on the Ocoee Riverside Farm with stunning rolling hills. There are a lot of pictures that come to mind when you think of farms -- perhaps the new growth of fresh vegetables, or cows grazing in a field. There are certainly things you will find here too but there are a few other surprises in store. Sloths, camels, and kangaroos are among some of the other animals that live on the farm and better yet you will get the opportunity to interact with these lovable animals. A stay on The Band Wagon is a summer experience you won’t want to miss and trust me it gets a little wild on the farm.
It goes without saying, but Memphis has some pretty amazing musical history. I know that Nashville gets all the credit when it comes to musical talent, but there are plenty of groundbreaking artists who have done some pretty incredible work in Memphis. The House of Blues is an Airbnb hub for all of your musical missions while in the city. Head on over to Sun Studio to see the very place where Elvis, B.B. King, and Johnny Cash recorded classical hits. Visit the King's home called Graceland while you are in town to see a property that is just as outstanding as the individual who lived in it. At night, mosey on over to Beale Street to catch a live show and make sure to stop by the B.B.Kings Blues Club for a meal and live musical performance. After a long day reliving the glory days of the music industry retire back to the House of Blues where you can enjoy all the creature confronts of home in a place that is decorated with musical heroes, the very people whose footsteps you just walked in.
There is something so endearing about a log cabin. It is like the pioneering spirit that urged settlers to push out west is still alive and well and going back to those simple times just seems like a welcome retreat from our busy world. At least, it is a romanticized idea and you can live out that fantasy in this lovely cabin in Springfield. The property in which this cabin sits is a stunningly beautiful place called Kelly’s Jubilee. This spot showcases many unique stays from a treehouse mansion to a landlocked ark. You can meander around the grounds and marvel at these wonderful structures or spend a cozy time inside The Cabin Retreat. Lounge around on the front porch, glide into the private hot tub and melt your worries away, or just spend time with a good book. This is just a great place to catch your breath and reset before heading back into the school year.
What do you think of these summer Airbnb rentals? There are lots of amazing places and things to do in Tennessee so why not make the most of it to soak up the last little bit of summer we have before schedules return to normal? So my friends I hope your Tennessee summer is incredible and filled with plenty of wild adventures so you and your family can have memories that will last a lifetime.
