More like in a clearing in the midst of it, as I imagined it. Once again, though, I'm fuzzy on the details of that trip, and perhaps the hobbits are too - with the tricksy trees and Withywindle, they were quite lost as well and had no sense of direction, so there's little we can tell for certain from their trip to his house. But considering that next to no mortals know about him, and even Elves don't really seem to be keeping in touch with him, his house is definitely well off the travel routes.
