A Lakeside Tradition of Warmth & Refinement

What began as a family dream has grown into one of the Hudson area's most cherished retreats. Hickory Creek HideAway sits on the peaceful eastern shore of Lake Bloomington, where the only thing faster than the breeze is the reason you'll want to return.

Every cabin, every detail, and every sunrise has been thoughtfully considered — because a true getaway isn't just about where you sleep. It's about how you feel when you arrive, and how reluctant you are to leave.

A Way to Unwind

Whether you're seeking adventure on the water or stillness among the pines, Lake Bloomington delivers both in equal measure.

Lakeside Living

Dock your boat, cast a line at dawn, or simply watch the water change color as the afternoon light drifts across the surface.

Forest Trails

Miles of wooded walking and biking trails wind through the surrounding bluffs — perfect for morning jogs or quiet evening strolls.

Quiet Evenings

No crowds, no noise — just starlit skies, crackling fireplaces, and the kind of silence that reminds you what peace actually feels like.

Group Gatherings

Reunions, milestone celebrations, or a girls' weekend — our lodges accommodate groups with ease and privacy.

Year-Round Escape

Fall foliage, spring wildflowers, summer lake days, winter snowscapes — every season reveals a different face of this place.

What Our Visitors Say

The best measure of a place like this isn't in the amenities — it's in the memories guests carry home.

We came for a long weekend and left wishing we'd booked two weeks. The cabin was immaculate, the lake was magical at sunrise, and the silence — real, deep silence — was the most restorative thing we've experienced in years.

Our family reunion here was everything we hoped for. The kids spent every morning on the dock, the adults never wanted to leave the deck, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook together. Already planning our return.

I've stayed at resorts from coast to coast, and Hickory Creek HideAway is the rare place that feels genuinely special — not because of luxury, but because of the care woven into every detail. This is a place that cares.
