There’s something different about arriving here.
You don’t have to figure things out.
You don’t have to ask where anything is.
You don’t have to run back out for the one thing you forgot.
It’s already taken care of.
Welcome to Hickory Hollow House—a private lakefront retreat on the east shore of Swartswood Lake, where everything is thoughtfully in place so you can settle in right away.
Start your mornings with coffee by the water.
Spend your days out on the lake—kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply taking it slow.
And come back to a space that feels comfortable, easy, and ready for you.
Inside, you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen, cozy living spaces, and details that make your stay feel effortless—from the basics you expect to the extras you didn’t realize you’d appreciate.
Outside, the lake is the main event.
Calm, scenic, and just steps away—perfect for quiet mornings, afternoon swims, or unwinding as the sun goes down.
Whether you’re here for a wedding weekend, a family getaway, or just time to reset, Hickory Hollow House is designed to give you something simple:
A stay where you don’t have to think about a thing.
Here's what you can expect during your stay:
