Hobbit Inn Destroyed in Washington Fire | Spokane News

A beloved Tolkien-inspired hobbit-themed vacation rental, The Hobbit Inn in Orondo, Washington, was completely destroyed in the Chelan Hills fire. Built in 2015 with handcrafted wooden details and a whittling station to mimic a hobbit’s lifestyle, the inn offered breathtaking views of the Columbia Gorge and Lake Chelan — and was frequently booked months in advance. When the fire erupted, guests were evacuated, and owner Kristie Wolfe confirmed the property was lost to flames. She later visited the site, finding nothing but ash, and shared the devastation on Instagram, sparking an outpouring of grief and support from fans who called it a fairy tale escape. With over 100 reservations canceled and no immediate plans to rebuild, the unique retreat’s loss has left a deep mark on its community and admirers.
