About this property

Fairy House – A Cozy Retreat at Morning Dew Hop Farm

Fairy House at Morning Dew Hop Farm is a charming and comfortable two-bedroom retreat surrounded by the peaceful beauty of our 23-acre farm and woodlands. With a full kitchen, cozy living room, and both front and back decks, it’s a wonderful place to relax, slow down, and enjoy a little time away from the everyday hustle.

The home features a unique split bathroom arrangement for added convenience. One half bath includes a toilet and sink, while the second has a shower, sink, and washer and dryer.
The kitchen is equipped for easy meals and relaxed mornings, with a full-size refrigerator and freezer, four-burner range, toaster oven, and coffeemaker.

Step outside to the deck and fire up the gas grill, where propane is provided for your convenience. Inside, you’ll find a flat-screen TV in the living room and complimentary WiFi throughout your stay.

When it’s time to unwind, take a soak in our shared hot tub, located under the spa building and available to guests of both properties at no additional charge. You can also enjoy the shared fire pit, explore the woods and farmland, or simply sit back and take in the peaceful surroundings and star-filled skies.

Cell service is extremely limited, making Fairy House an ideal place to disconnect and recharge, while WiFi keeps you connected when you need it.

Whether you're enjoying coffee on the deck, cooking a relaxed dinner, soaking in the hot tub, or cozying up for a movie, Fairy House offers a comfortable home base for your countryside escape.

This is a beautiful property and the owner is wonderful! We brought our fur children and there was room to exercise them without hazards. Everything in the rooms were great- and the decor was magical! I don’t know who the artist or artists are that made the various fairy houses but they were really cool. Thanks again and will recommend!

Okay I actually think the cabin is even CUTER than the photos. I think the photos don’t do it justice. We really enjoyed the property. They were very communicative and the space was so cute. We were in town for the Athens marathon and weren’t at the cabin super long during our stay. But it provided everything we needed - comfort, basic kitchen fixings to cook a meal, a hot shower. If we come back to Athens, we’ll stay here again!

Absolutely loved our stay! The house was amazing, the hot tub was great especially after hiking all day. Loved how secluded and relaxing it was and how much the property offered. Would definitely recommend it to anyone staying out that way! We would definitely love to come back for all of our future hiking trips there!

Great little cabin. Clean when we arrived, and host was great with communication. Check in and out were very easy. The location was convenient for visiting Hocking Hills (the main itinerary of our trip) and the cabin was very reasonably priced for the Hocking Hills Area. We also found some really good places to eat and some interesting touristy things to do in the general area. The little hallway between the main living area is adorable, as well as the fairy decor! The cabin was easy to find, quiet and well kept.We did see a couple spiders that moved in during our stay, but that's nothing that wouldn't be expected in a wooded area. The cabin is located near a train track, but we only heard one train in the 4 days we were there, and and it was barely noticeable (sounded like a little thunder in the distance). Cell service at the cabin could be a bit spotty, but the WIFI in the cabin worked great for anything we needed to do on our phones.None of those things are complaints or deterrents, just observations of what others can expect.Futon beds (2 of the 3 sleeping arrangements) were as comfortable as could be expected. The only issue we really had was that the framed bed's mattress was a bit saggy, or perhaps, not well supported in the middle, so, when shared, you'd both get sucked to the center of the bed.Overall, it really was a nice place to stay, fit well with our plans, and would book again! We were very happy with the expeience, the cabin and the host!

A divine retreat away

My family had a wonderful time at the cabin. It was peaceful, searing, and just simply splendid to spend the time there: Steve the owner was exceptionally helpful and thoughtful and extremely kind. I highly recommend staying at this wonderful retreat. There’s a hot tub, Sauna and a salt room to try out. Also 23 acres to explore me and my family would love to go back soon.

What makes this property unique

Morning Dew Hop Farm offers a peaceful rural escape where you can slow down, breathe a little deeper, and truly get away from the everyday hustle.

Set on 23 acres of woods and farmland, our property provides plenty of room to explore, relax, stargaze, and enjoy the simple pleasures of country living.

At the heart of the property is our shared hot tub, centrally located under the spa building and available to all guests at no additional charge.

For an added touch of relaxation, guests can also ask their host about rates for our Himalayan salt cave and wood-fired sauna.
Each cabin has its own gas grill with propane provided, while the shared fire pit offers the perfect gathering spot for roasting marshmallows, sharing stories, or watching the stars come out.

After a day of exploring, snuggle up inside with a movie or simply sit outside and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
Cell service is extremely limited, which makes it wonderfully easy to disconnect from the outside world. Both cabins do include free WiFi, so you can still stay connected when needed.

Whether you're here for a quiet weekend, a relaxing getaway, or simply a chance to reconnect with nature, Morning Dew Hop Farm offers a comfortable, peaceful setting where the stars are brighter, the pace is slower, and there’s plenty of space to just be.
