Why I love Hardy, Wow that is a good one to talk about. I heard about the area where Hardy is the first time talking to a friend at a social event. I was saying how I never have time to go on vacations and he told me about this great place in Arkansas called Hardy and the area called Cherokee Village. He had just purchased a fixer upper on one of the lakes.
I decided to check it out on a weeked along with my girlfriend at the time. We went up and drove to the town. When we walked around the Main Street area everyone was friendly, if we stopped to ask a question the person alwasy had information along with a great story to tell us. By the time you walked away you knew that person (sometimes more than you wanted) but that was still a good thing.
We finally after months of driving up on weekends found a perfect jewel of a place on the best kept secret (Lake Sherwood). Over four years later we still try to come up every weekend to relax, and enjoy the area, shop..eat…talk…hike..fish..explore..etc.
It's a place that not only do I love, but my girlfriend..who is now my Wife and our children ages 7 thru 15 at the time have also had laughter, happiness, and many memories made here. It is my HOME AWAY FROM HOME.
