The season is officially open – the sun is bright, the lake is at normal level and the fish are biting! We only have a couple of openings left for the summer season, so if you haven’t made your reservations yet – give me a call. Our hot tub and pool will be open into the fall this year since we can heat them both.

We are getting off to a great start this year with friends and relatives visiting. We are grateful that the weather has been wonderful and the water is warm enough to jump off the end of the dock with Sadie and swim in the lake, float around in the new pool or relax in the hot tub spa with our fellow guests. Most of the attractions in Branson have recuperated after the Leap Day Tornado and there are many new and exciting shows open in Branson and of course, activities at Silver Dollar are in full swing. Come and see us for a fun and relaxing time!

Here is a picture of me checking out the pool with our great-niece who spent spring break with us from California, Cierra. Her brother Mason started us off by catching nine fish from our dock. Many of our regulars have returned and they are having fantastic results fishing for bass as well as crappie and catfish. Thanks to our guests who recently shared their crappie with us – it was delicious! We are already having great fun. Don’t forget to enter our Big Bass Contest when you arrive. Check out more pictures of the pool and grounds on Facebook and Trip Advisor. See you here soon!

Here’s a picture that I took last week from the roof of Cabin #5 looking toward the Loft Cottage. We’ve been working all winter to get ready to open and we are ready for you – our guests! Spring is a great time of year for fishing at Table Rock Lake and the weather has been fabulous this year. Our contractor assures us that our beautiful pool will be open for business by the first of April. If you don’t already have your reservations made, give us a call or click on the “Contact us” button to send us an email. See you soon at Happy Hollow!

Have a happy and safe holiday season… See you next year!

God Bless and Keep You!

During this special time of year, we want to take this opportunity to thank all our loyal guests who stayed with us this year and those who will be coming back in 2012. We wish everyone a safe and happy holiday – see you in 2012!

Canned and Non-Perishable Food Drive – We know that we’ve been blessed with Happy Hollow and for getting to know each and every one of you. We want to share this blessing with the local community and those who are less fortunate. We’ve decided to work with our local food pantry in 2012. So, when you come down this year, how about bringing an extra can of food or non-perishable item such as flour, rice, powdered milk, or powdered baby formula?

We will match each can or food item and donate it to the food pantry. We are starting this immediately, so if you are coming down this winter and can bring a donation – we’ll see that it gets to those who need it most. But let’s not stop there. There is a need all year long– not just during the holidays. Help us make a difference!

Aluminum Can Recycling – As many of you know, there currently is no recycling pick-up service available at the resort. But we are not giving up in our effort. We will provide large containers throughout the resort to collect aluminum cans and take them to the recycling center ourselves. Please look for these containers and place your aluminum
cans in them instead of the trash cans.

Swimming Pool and Hot Tub Spa – Construction of the new pool and hot tub spa is coming along very nicely. We are assured that it will be ready for occupancy in early spring. I can’t wait!

Big Bass Fish Tournament – Once again, we are planning a Spring Tournament, scheduled from March 18 thru May 25, 2012. We will collect an entry fee of $10 per person which will be put into a pot and divided into 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Good luck to all!

2012 Deposit – If you’ve already made your reservation for 2012, you should have already received a Reservation Confirmation. Please make sure we receive your deposit by January 15, 2012. If you haven’t already made your reservation, give us a call today or use the “Contact Us” on our website to request a reservation.

to everyone from beautiful Happy Hollow Resort! What a wonderful time of year – check out more of the pictures of fall colors on our Facebook page. The sun is shining brightly making the lake shimmer in the light breeze. The mist slowly rises like puffs of steam and the bright oranges, reds, yellows and gold on the hillsides are absolutely stunning. The drive along Hwy 86, Ozark Hollow and Happy Hollow Road is the prettiest I’ve ever seen. One of our frequent guests said his coffee tastes even better than normal out of his Happy Hollow mug and with this view from the cabin porch I understand what he means!

Like most of you, the theatres and attractions all around Branson are getting ready for the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays. A few of the many, many events happening across the Ozarks include the Trail of Lights at Shepard of the Hills, the Holiday Light Parade and Living Nativity are ongoing at Silver Dollar City, not to mention the great sales at the Outlet and Craft Malls.
Construction on the swimming pool is proceeding nicely. You can really see the shape of the new pool and hot tub. One of our guests brought us a huge plate of fried catfish and said the fishing is getting better now that the weather is cooler. We will be closed Monday thru Sunday over Thanksgiving (11/21 thru 11/26. Other than those dates, we will be open until Christmas. We have cabins available – so come down to spend some time this fall at Happy Hollow Resort. Hope to see you here!

It’s hard to believe but the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays are coming up soon. We will be closed for the week of Thanksgiving but open through Christmas. Many of the attractions and shows in Branson and Eureka Springs have Holiday specials starting soon, too.

We’ll be closed during January and February, but we’ll be open again for fishing season in March, 2012. We’ve sent out reservation confirmations for 2012 with deposits due by January 15, 2012.

You can send us a message or make a reservation request using the “Contact Us” tab. You can also follow us on Facebook and post a review of your stay on TripAdvisor. We appreciate all comments and suggestions!

Come on back down for a visit soon!

As many of you know, we have to replace the swimming pool this fall since the old one was damaged in the storms earlier this spring. Our new solar-heated pool and hot tub will be open for business in the spring. We will be open until the end of this year and we still have plenty of room available for October, November and December – come see the fall colors and decorations for Christmastime in the Ozarks.
