Maker's Mark Hobbit House
Welcome to Our Hobbit Houses
The Maker’s Mark Hobbit Houses at The Preserve each offer a one-of-a-kind dining experience with an upscale grilled menu and fine bourbon pairings. The magical setting evokes storybook fantasy making a lunch or dinner you will never forget.
Nestled into hillside boulders, our two Hobbit House getaways are surrounded by lush landscapes with tree trunks incorporated into the architecture. No matter which Hobbit House you dine in, you’ll feel like you’ve entered a magical place where a well-worn path leads you to an intricate round wooden door that swings open to reveal an intimate interior with stone floors and artfully stacked stone walls. The flicker of candlelight and charming decorative details complete this transporting experience.
Whether dining for lunch or dinner, each course is thoughtfully prepared using Le Creuset, the original enameled cast iron cookware that remains an iconic tabletop style statement. Gather around a custom-designed Maker’s Mark wood table—repurposed from former whisky barrels—for dinner and pairings, then unwind around the fire pit under the stars.
