Darwin Knecht is the man who owns and operates the Kottage Knechtion, a LoTR inspired treehouse that guests can rent. And now, he has finished construction on a new Hobbit house-style Airbnb.
Knecht says he saw how successful all the Hobbit houses in New Zealand were doing and wanted to do something similar for the Midwest United States. He says, "I thought [Hobbit houses is] another idea that something original that nobody else has done not only in the tri-state area, but in the entire Midwest.”
Knecht says construction took 14 months total, proving to be a lot of work, money, and love. His hope is that guests will have a unique experience that they can't get anywhere else.
The new house sleeps up to 4 people and can be seen listed on Airbnb here. You can also rent the treehouse owned by the same couple here.
