Although J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved novel clear states, "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit," we're not about to quibble when it comes to this amazing treehouse inspired by The Hobbit.

Located at Chateau De Soleil, a country house near Sturgis, South Dakota, the 400-square-foot treehouse features round doors and windows, Elvish signs, Sauron's mask, a gauntlet with the One Ring, and even furry Hobbit-foot slippers.

The good news for Tolkien fans is that you can stay there, but you must book the house to which it's attached.
