About Us
Hi everyone and welcome! We are Staci, Elijah, Isabella, and Robert – the proud, excited new owners of Hidden Shady Nook – and that adorable pup over there is our dog, Lovebug. This summer, our goal is to connect and get to know all of you, which is why we have planned so many exciting, upcoming events. As a family we love all things outdoors: camping, campfires, swimming, paddle boarding, boating, hiking and being together. If you have any questions or need anything during your stay here at Hidden Shady Nook, just ask. We are happy to help! We’d also like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the previous owner, Jim, for his invaluable guidance and mentorship during our first season.
