Bilbo: "Hey, look, a cabin with a magic Elvish deadbolt to keep evil Orcs at bay!"
Gandalf: "Oh look, ponies too!"
Thorin: "I wonder where the owner is?"
Bilbo: "Must be vacationing at his other summer home."
Entire party: *shrug* "Let's devour all this milk and honey and think nothing of it. We ain't afraid of no bears!"
Azog: "Blast these convenient Elvish safehouses and their deus ex stables of machina!"
Beorn: "I love Aspen. Wheeee who doesn't like a snowboarding bear?!"
