Outside:
Hickory Haven is set on almost two acres in a private lake community. The home is nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac. There are days that no one but security will travel down the street. It is so quiet and peaceful that we have a lot of local wildlife that walks through the yard. You will almost certainly see deer and you may see other various types of wildlife on the property. Last winter we had a fox who made several appearances running across the terrain in search of a meal!
We have several comfortable areas for you to enjoy the outdoors without even leaving the property. You can sit with your cup of coffee or beverage of choice upstairs on the covered porch. There is a comfy outdoor patio set that is the perfect place to enjoy viewing the wildlife. The first floor deck boasts a beautiful propane fire table, the perfect spot to share stories and stare up at the stars. The deck also has an outdoor table and chairs for those who like to enjoy meals or family game night in the fresh mountain air! There is a fantastic Gorilla Playset within view of the house! The little people in your life will be entertained for hours right outside the back door! It is the perfect place to come home to after an afternoon of exploring or swimming! We also have custom-made cornhole boards, Jenga, and GIANT Connect Four for outdoor fun! The Weber gas grill is directly off the patio, and provides an easy way to have dinner at home. The fire pit area is on the side of the house and can be seen from the covered porch. This area has 10 comfortable Adirondack chairs arranged around the firepit and is perfect for fire pit chats, scary stories, and, of course, roasting s’mores! String lights add to the ambience of nighttime fire pit fun!
If you decide to venture further away from the house, but still want to remain in the community there are so many fun things to do at your fingertips! The amenities offered to our guests include a beautiful lake with swimming and fishing (with PA license), breathtaking views of nature's bounty and wildlife, USTA tennis/ pickleball courts, volleyball and basketball courts, and a playground area for the young at heart. There is also a private sandy beach for swimming with a lifeguard on duty!
