Fantastic getaway!

Although we were only at the hobbit home for less than 24 hours, we made the best of it! We stopped here on our travels back to Michigan, from spring break. It was so clean and well kept. Our teenage boys really enjoyed the outdoor activities, especially the axe throwing and ring toss. We would absolutely stay her again! Thank you!!

A Perfect Few Days Away!

My husband and I had a wonderful time spending a few days in the dome! It is in a great location- about ten minutes from Traveler's Rest, 30-45 minutes from great hiking spots, and 45 minutes from downtown Greenville. The property felt secluded, and we enjoyed making use of all the amenities. We were able to bring our two dogs without issue! Definitely will be staying here again!

Way better than a hotel

Magical dome

The place was well equipped. The host was responsive easy to get in touch with. We had family matters in Travelers Rest so unable to do any site seeing. We were able to come back every evening and unwind in the peaceful country setting and mystical home.

This place is very unique for sure. Inside is snug but worked well for our family of 4. The outside is very nice with the fire pit and swing and built in games. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely recommend you try it out.

About the host

Hosted by Jacob Harris

Host profile image
I’m Jacob. A few years ago I converted a van into a camper. It was my daily-driver for a while but eventually decided my Matt Foley days were over and I retired the van in exchange for something more eco-friendly (but much less fun). The van sat around in between weekend camping trips that unfortunately became less and less frequent as time passed.

A year ago I decided that the holy grail of swaggin’ wagons could no longer be kept a secret from humanity. You really think I would hide something as great as this van under a bushel?? The answer is NO!!

Anyway... So then I decided to build a campsite in my backyard so that others could enjoy the van the same way I have.

Well now, I have purchased some land and have begun to draft the dream spots. First, I started with a dome... reminds me of a hobbit home, but cooler! I am now remodeling a bus and hope to have that to you soon!

Thanks for reading.
