About this property

Mardi Gras House – Cozy Cabin on Morning Dew Hop Farm

Mardi Gras House offers a cozy, unique getaway tucked away in the peaceful rural setting of Morning Dew Hop Farm.

The house features a private bedroom with a comfortable queen bed and antique armoire, along with a loft bedroom furnished with a full-size bed that overlooks the inviting living and dining area. The open layout creates a warm, comfortable space for relaxing, spending time together, and enjoying the quiet surroundings.

Step outside onto the private deck, where you can enjoy a meal at the outdoor dining set or fire up the gas grill where propane is provided for your convenience.

Guests also have access to the shared hot tub, located under the spa building, at no additional charge. For an even more relaxing experience, ask your host about rates for the Himalayan salt cave and wood-fired sauna.

Surrounded by 23 acres of woods and farmland, Morning Dew Hop Farm is an ideal place to slow down and enjoy nature. Cell service is extremely limited, making it easy to disconnect from the outside world, while free WiFi is available when you need to stay connected.

Spend an evening watching a movie, gather around the shared fire pit, soak in the hot tub, or simply step outside and take in the beautiful stars.

Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat, a cozy weekend away, or a chance to reconnect with nature, Mardi Gras House provides a comfortable home base for enjoying all that Morning Dew Hop Farm has to offer.

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.

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

Tucked away in a peaceful rural setting, Morning Dew Hop Farm is the perfect place to slow down, unplug, and reconnect with nature. Our 23 acres of woods and farmland offer plenty of space to explore, relax, and enjoy the beauty of the night sky.

Guests can unwind in the complimentary hot tub, shared by both cabins, or ask your host about rates for our Himalayan salt cave and wood-fired sauna, perfect for a truly relaxing getaway.

Each cabin has a gas grill with propane provided, and guests can gather around the shared fire pit to enjoy an evening under the stars. Cell service is extremely limited, making it easy to disconnect from the outside world, but both cabins include free WiFi when you need to stay connected.

Whether you want to snuggle up and watch a movie, soak in the hot tub, stargaze by the fire, or wander through the woods and farmland, Morning Dew Hop Farm offers a quiet escape where you can truly get away from it all.
