✨ New addition at Mount Hope Hilltop Venue ✨

We’re excited to share one of our newest updates to the property!!! A charming vintage silo that has been transformed into a cozy gazebo gathering space!

Nestled just beyond our flowering vine arch, beneath our romantic evening string lighting, right next to our firepit and our new outdoor picnic tables (one more is on the way😜), this space is the perfect spot for guests to gather, relax, and enjoy the beauty of our little Hilltop.

At Mount Hope, each visit may bring something new as we continue to add thoughtful details and unique spaces to make your experience even more memorable. We can’t wait for you to see this newest addition in person and at night 😍!
