Four years ago today, we welcomed our very first guests to Hickory Hollow House. 💙

If you know me, you know I give 110% to everything I do. I’m always thinking ahead, noticing the little things, and asking myself, “What would make someone feel more comfortable, more relaxed, and more at home?”

Hosting takes a lot of work—often behind the scenes—but hearing laughter from the lake, seeing families enjoy time together, and reading a message from a guest who felt truly at home makes every bit of it worthwhile.

Over the past four years, we’ve welcomed so many wonderful people through our doors. I’ve genuinely enjoyed getting to know our guests and being a small part of their family vacations, wedding weekends, celebrations, and quiet escapes.

That personal connection is one of the biggest reasons Hickory Hollow House is direct book only. You’re never just a reservation number to us. From your first message until you head home, you’re our guest—and making sure you feel cared for is personal to me.

Four years later, that is still the part of hosting I love most. Thank you to every guest who has trusted us with their time away. It has truly been a pleasure welcoming you to our Lake Home Away from Home.

And if you’ve been thinking about a stay of your own, we’d love the opportunity to welcome you through our door, too. Visit hickoryhollowhouse.com to learn more.

The final school bell has rung for the summer!

Today marks the last day of school for Pete, my husband, co-host of Hickory Hollow House, and a dedicated high school science teacher. After spending the school year inspiring young minds in the classroom, he's ready to trade lesson plans for lake breezes and sailboat races on Swartswood Lake.

If you've stayed with us, there's a good chance you've met Pete—whether lending a helping hand, sharing local recommendations, or chatting about life on the lake. When he's not teaching, you'll usually find him out on the water or making sure everything is ready for our guests.

Here's to summer sunsets, steady winds, and a well-deserved break!

⛵️ Happy Summer, Captain Pete!

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.

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.

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.
