We're losing it over a straight-out-of-Tolkien hobbit house in central Washington that recently popped up in our Airbnb feed.
Why it matters: What self-respecting Seattleite DOESN'T want to spend the night in a hobbit house?
State of play: Tucked into a hillside in Orondo, "Underground Hygge" features a round green door, curved wood ceilings, round windows, and cozy, storybook-perfect details — straight out of Middle-earth.
Between the lines: You'll need to be able to hike a short but steep path to reach the front door.
Reality check: It's fully booked through summer, of course, but next year is open.
- A two-night stay in April will run you about $650.
