Hobbit Playhouse Plan

Step through the round door into the Hobbit Playhouse Plan, a rustic, storybook-style hideaway crafted for young adventurers and dreamers. With its signature curved roof, cheerful circular windows, and classic round entrance, this cozy 16×10-foot structure feels like it was plucked directly from the Shire. The 128 square feet of interior space is comfortably scaled for kids, with low walls and a warm, curved aesthetic that naturally invites play and storytelling in a place that feels both novel and timeless.

Built with simplicity in mind, this fairy‑tale cottage comes with clear, easy-to-follow plans so families can tackle the build with confidence.
