My husband and I stayed at the Mardi Gras house while celebrating our wedding anniversary, and it was exactly what we needed. We wanted to return to the area where we met and were married, and this peaceful retreat provided the perfect setting to reconnect and relax.The house was comfortable, quiet, and surrounded by beautiful scenery. It gave us a chance to truly decompress from our busy day-to-day lives and enjoy a slower pace for the weekend.We left feeling refreshed and grateful for such a memorable anniversary weekend.

Cute Cabin, relaxing stay

We were in the area to do some hiking, the cabin is clean and tidy and had everything we needed for our stay. Very quiet, lovely woods just outside the door. My 16yo loved the loft.

So much fun!

He is so friendly and welcoming! We had very open access to the property and amenities for our entire stay. Very nice and clean when we stayed. Keep in mind it was very tight with three people, especially in the kitchenette, and the grill was difficult to get working. We will definitely be staying again, the location was amazing for all the hiking we did!

What makes this property unique

The quiet rural setting makes this the perfect spot for getting away from it all. Morning Dew Hop Farm also offers a hot tub, centrally located and available for the use of all guests at no extra charge, as well as a Himalayan salt cave and a wood-fired sauna (ask your host for rates.) Both cabins have a gas grill (propane is provided) and there's a fire pit for use by all guests. Cell service is extremely weak but both cabins include free WiFi. Snuggle up and watch a movie, enjoy a beautiful view of the stars, or explore our 23 acres of woods and farmland.
