My husband,Mike, and I are teachers from southern New Jersey. We have five kids and we all love the outdoors. We bought this little piece of heaven as an investment in our family and hopefully future generations. Hickory Haven gives us a place to be together doing the things we love. Every season gives us a new opportunity to make unforgettable memories. We want to share that with other families!
