Hobbit Door - Spokane, Washington - Doorways of the World on Waymarking.com

Along with the Hobbit House, there is also a geocache and little free library that will give you a reason to visit.

"Ryan Oelrich built Spokane End, his own hobbit hole, at the end of Second Avenue and on the actual edge of Spokane's city limits in the West Hills Neighborhood.

Oelrich's version of the Middle Earth dwelling is, even considering the physical differences between the race of men and diminutive hobbits, quite smaller than Bilbo's humble underhill abode. Its low, round door — friends must duck to enter — is painted a vibrant cherry red.

Measuring at around 70 square feet, Spokane End is a charming little addition to Oelrich's West Spokane property. He uses it as an office, reading nook, gathering place for friends and an otherwise calm escape from life's daily toll. A back door leads to a "secret" garden.

A lifelong fan of J.R.R. Tolkien's expansive fantasy worlds in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Oelrich long dreamed of building his own hobbit house. He collected building materials and decor for years before getting a final burst of inspiration after he and his partner this year visited the real-life Hobbiton in New Zealand, the movie set-turned-tourist-attraction visited by LOTR fans around the world." - (visit link)
