Memorial Day at the lake 🇺🇸

As another summer begins here on Swartswood Lake, we’re especially grateful for the freedom to gather with family, slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy moments like these together.

Wishing everyone a peaceful Memorial Day filled with gratitude, reflection, and time spent with the people who matter most.

The sailing season is officially underway on Swartswood Lake ⛵

Our latest blog post takes you inside one of our favorite traditions of lake life — the return of sailboats, friendly races, and weekends spent soaking up the energy on the water. Whether you’re a longtime sailor or just love the peaceful charm of watching the boats glide across the lake, it’s one of the best times of year at Hickory Hollow House.

Find the full blog in our Bio and see why sailing season is something special around here.

They’re back… and yes, they still refuse to pay rent.

Our tiniest seasonal guests have officially arrived at the lake—purple martins swooping in like they own the place (and honestly… they kind of do).

If you need a sign to slow down for a minute… this is it.

🪶 Spring is doing its thing.

Some places don’t need much…
just clean water, open air, and a little quiet.

We’re lucky to have that here.
And we don’t take it for granted.

30 years ago, we said “I do.”

Somewhere along the way, we figured out our secret…It’s the quiet mornings, the boat rides, the sunsets, and just being together by the lake.

Life gets busy. The lake brings you back.

30 years strong ❤️

In town for a wedding?

Weddings are busy. Where you stay shouldn’t be.

Choose a place where you can slow down before…and fully unwind after.

That’s what makes the whole weekend better.
