Spring is a good time to come to Hardy. It is very peaceful and quiet if you just want to get away. Enjoy the deer sometimes spotted in the back yard. You can sit and enjoy the still cool quiet evenings from the deck or roast marshmellows in the new firepit.

While visiting the many shops in downtown Hardy you can rest and relax in the little park on mainstreet. The new stage next to this area will be having local entertainment.

There are many great places to eat in and around Hardy from BBQ, Catfish, Southern Home Cooking, Ice Cream Parlors, Fast Food, Chinese, Mexican and Italian.

It's not hard to spend a day in Historic Downtown Hardy going throuth the many antique, craft, art and speciality shops.

Don't miss visiting our spot in the "Cluttered Cupboard" downtown!

Learn about the "ghost" in the Hardy Hotel!
