Live like a Halfling in this fantasy getaway five minutes from historic Nauvoo Illinois!
This bermed home is tucked into a hill in a small wooded glen, perfect for anyone looking to connect with nature or hibernate through the winter.

The space
This Bermed home is four bedrooms, one of which is a flex room, and can be used as an office or bedroom. There is a dedicated full bed and queen bed, with one full hide-a-bed and one twin pull out bed. If you have a large group let me know and we’ll dress those beds for you before you come!
The other three beds are singles in a small room. It’s meant as a kids’ room, but it can be enjoyed by adults if you like very cozy spaces.
I’m from a ten person family and we are comfy in the house, but if you like lots of space this might not be the place for your fellowship, as ten adults may feel tight.

Guest access
Feel free to wander the woods and jump the streams. Just be aware that the woods are wild and home to many Honey Locusts, a very defensive and thorny tree. I’ll be clearing paths this fall, but until then ye undergrowth is thick, and forging your way through is an adventure. I recommend you wear long pants to protect from thorns and ivy.

Other things to note
If you’d like to throw a party or have an event in the Halfling House please message me. I love parties, and I’d love you to have yours here but they do take a toll on the house. So let’s chat!
