The Airbnb listing description reads:

One of a kind, unique cozy hobbit house. A beautiful, private bucolic setting offering you the ultimate getaway.

No offense to the folks who built this fantasy dream palace, they did an amazing job, but why do we even bother buying houses of our own? What is it about humans that we will do anything to get of our houses, including renting other people's homes?

I gotta keep my wife off the scent of this one because she will drag me out of my home in Danbury, CT to travel twenty whole minutes to Pawling, NY to rent someone else's house. On second thought, maybe I will tell her, this place looks like it is so much fun. If we dress the part, it could be a lot of fun, but now I need to figure out where people buy capes.
