Explore Enchanting Harry Potter and Hobbit-Inspired Airbnb Fantasy Retreats
For fans of fantasy literature and cinema, Airbnb properties inspired by “Harry Potter” and “The Hobbit” present a remarkable opportunity. Located in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, these charming homes offer a captivating escape into beloved fantasy worlds.
Magical Origins: The Creation of Fantasy Retreats
The journey of these enchanting homes began in 2019. Justin Kersey and his uncle Joseph McCarthy acquired two acres of land in Pigeon Forge for $169,000. Their primary goal was to construct Hobbit-themed retreats that captivate fans of J.R.R. Tolkien.
By 2020, the first Hobbit home was completed, reflecting the duo’s commitment to their dream. Recognizing the immense popularity of the Harry Potter franchise, they decided to expand their offerings.
Expansion and New Additions
In February 2025, construction commenced on a Harry Potter-inspired home featuring elements designed around characters Harry and Ginny. This retreat is priced between $300 and $850 per night, varying with the season. It promises a fully immersive experience for those wishing to step into the enchanting world of wizards.
- Harry Potter Home: $300 – $850 per night
- Hobbit Homes: $150 – $500 per night
Following the success of the Harry and Ginny-themed home, the team launched plans for an Hermione Granger-inspired house. They are also developing a residence based on Luna Lovegood, further enriching their fantasy accommodation offerings.
Guest Reactions and Impressive Details
Justin, now 39, is enthusiastic about the extraordinary feedback from guests. “They approach me and express their awe at how wonderful the spaces are,” he shared. The attention to detail in these homes has consistently impressed visitors, exceeding their expectations.
Guests often remark on the incredible amount of thought and creativity poured into each property. Elements such as whimsical fairy village displays, hidden gnomes, and a remarkable “wizard library” filled with scenes from the Harry Potter films add to the magical experience.
Unforgettable Experiences for Fantasy Lovers
The unique atmosphere created in these fantasy-themed homes has made them a must-visit for fans. Both the Harry Potter and Hobbit-inspired retreats continue to receive glowing reviews, solidifying their reputation as top destinations for visitors seeking adventure and magic during their stay.
