Nestled in the valley of the Catskills on a bank of a private lake, The Sorcerer’s Shire is a mystical retreat. With one LOTR Hobbiton themed bedroom and other Harry potter themed bedroom, everything in the cottage is intentionally hand crafted by our family to enhance your experience. Come enjoy the open spaces, misty mountain views and magical doorways.
The Sorcerer’s Shire is an experience.
The LOTR BedRoom
The experience starts with the glow-in-the-dark “Doors of Durin” which of course lights up when you touch a secret spot! From there, each and every intentionally and meticulously hand-crafted component like complete Hobbiton headboard to tree of Gondor will continue to amaze and delight the fans.
The Harry Potter Bedroom
The Gryffindor lady is hard to miss and sets the tone for the Harry Potter room. From floor to ceiling Hogwarts portrait to hand-crafted “Deathly-Hollows” symbol on the wall, it will be a close contest as to which one to admire first.
The full kitchen has all the modern amenities including coffee maker and microwave.
The full bath even has running water and indoor plumbing!
