Hickory House History
This house is one of the most unique properties in Delaware. A simple look around will tell you that this is not a conventional build, moreover it is a completely custom hand-built home.
Its history begins in the mid 1980’s with the clearing of many acres of farmland in Maine. The collection of Hickory, Wormy Chestnut, and Locust timbers would in time become a realized dream for New England farmer Patrick Hunter.
The wood was painstakingly cut, debarked, cut and hand notched to later become the skeletal structure of a typical New England “salt box” cottage. It took Patrick over 12 years to hand cut, notch, every beam in this home. In 1998 the numbered beams were loaded on to 4 semi-trucks and hauled to its current location. Patrick now 63 years of age and his older brother Mike began their 3-day odyssey of assembling the current structure. The huge hickory beams are all mortise and tenon joints with locust pegs. There are but 2 dozen spikes(nails) in the entire framing along the ridge beam. The rim joists and floor beams are dove tailed to the vertical beams. The wide plank floors are also dove tailed along the perimeters. The house also boasts a vintage standing seam metal roof as well as matching she shed. The outer covering of choice just had to be traditional cedar shakes. The lack of a solid ceiling or insulation between upper and lower floors allows for the perfect convective air flow between floors. Patrick did not get to enjoy his dream for very long as his young life was tragically cut short by cancer after only 3 years in his hand-built cottage.
Situated on over 1/2 acre, so plenty of yard for kids to play in. The home has received some significant upgrades over the years including removing the old school baseboard heating in favor of a more modern heat pump\ac unit. In keeping with the industrial look of the interior the ductwork for the upstairs was left exposed. A whole house water filtration system was added as well
The cottage served a Va. family as a vacation home from the early 2000’s until it was purchased by its current owners in 2021.

Summary: The house is super cute and is just a short drive from the beach! Perfectly decorated to give you a cottage near the beach feel. It was clean and we felt like we were welcome and at home the minute we walked in. Joyce was great to work with and quick to respond to questions!

Summary: We had a wonderful stay at this house. It took us less than 15 minutes to get to Bethany Beach. We loved being close to everything yet being able to feel like we truly got away. Where the house is located it is quiet and peaceful. Inside the house it is gorgeous. My kids loved picking a new bed to sleep in each night. The family room and kitchen are wonderful places to gather together. The outside deck was the perfect place to read. We loved it. If you are thinking about it, just book it. It really is a beautiful place to stay.

Summary: We had a wonderful stay and hope to return in the future! Within the first ten minutes my daughter had written in the guest book about this being the "best trip ever:; I believe because the house's charm. The house is a destination of its own and though the pictures are accurate, once you get into the house you will find it is even more charming, spacious and well appointed then what is described. The home was extremely clean and well stocked, it had everything we needed. The home is within minutes of Ocean View and Bethany Beach and was perfect for our extended weekend for our family of five. Thank you!

Summary: Opening the door to this charming house, we felt at home. Everything is bright, fresh, and clean. We played games on the huge kitchen table. The owners thought of so many details- great books, fun yard games, fire pit, gorgeous kitchen for meals, even charging cords and travel sized toiletries. Going the first week of April, the tourist season isn’t high. We loved our trail hikes nearby and exploring Lewes’ Henlopen State Park/Fort Miles. The deck is just perfect for dinners and the family room is so comfortable to unwind. My husband appreciated the internet speed and slot machine….so unique and fun! Add an extra day to what you have in mind- you’ll be glad you did!

Summary: We spent a weekend getaway at the hickory house. Played board games, watched movies, and enjoyed the lovely house. Although my neck got sore from admiring all the hand hewn beams! Would definitely recommend.
