Is this place the river Withywindle?

[Dwim]

More specifically than that, is it Tom Bombadil's house?

[Lail]

@Dwim - yes! it is indeed Tom B's house! You're up!

[Otherwise]

Aah nerts, I was so sure the "sleep but didn't rest" referred to Merry, Pippin and Frodo being lulled to sleep with the Old Willow being the singer. Well played.

[Dwim]

Thanks @Lail, the fact that this place had been built by someone of unknown race was what led me to think it was Tom B's house.

I'm going to stick with the locations theme.

[Androthelm]

[Drífa]

Would this be the wooded region of Trollshaws, west of Rivendell?

[Dwim]

Sorry, not the Trollshaws, as this place is east of the Misty Mountains.

[Drífa]

Of course not. I must of gotten confused because it lies near the East Road.

[Dwim]

Since we've reached a bit of a standstill, I'll give a clue and say that this place was home to two characters with onomatopoeic names.

[Eamila Bolger]

I am not sure if this matches your clue, but is the place Ravenhill, the last place the Dwarves camped before going to the Doorstep?

[Dwim]

@Eamila Bolger, yes, the answer is indeed Ravenhill.

The two onomatopoeic characters were Roäc and Carc who both lived there.
