The Shire

Be Bilbo Baggins for a day and head to this custom-made cottage for a blissful holiday. It was designed by artist James Hubbell who's known for his large-scale works reminiscent of natural shapes. If you want your own personalized experience, book your stay on Airbnb - amenities include TV, housewares, internet, and a fireplace. Because there's no visibility from the road, a reservation might be your only option for seeing this wondrously unique structure. (Submitted by Sean Callahan)
