From one family to another, HHM now enters a new chapter
Hidden Harbor Marina (HHM), located at 2685 Casey Cove Road in DeKalb County, is under new ownership, according to a recent announcement. Former owners Brian and Stacey said they stepped away “with a heavy heart” after 28 years at the marina.
“… Being part of this marina has been more than owning a business. It has been our lives. Work. Play. Family. Friends. Long hard days followed by celebrations. Sweat and tears, yes, but nothing compared to the laughter and fun times,” they said in a letter.
“… To our lake family, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your love and support. For the last 28 years you have been a very important part of our family. From those within the marina and traveling from the other marinas. Traveling from as close as Smithville, TN to as far as countries around the world. We could not have asked for better friends. In many ways this has not been our marina but yours. It has been a privilege to be your steward.”

With every ownership transfer, there are questions, concerns and doubt. New owner Bobby Davis recently addressed those concerns.
From the letter:
I would like to address a few items to alleviate as much uncertainty as possible right now.
· The full time staff are all staying to work at the marina. From the very beginning of this process I have seen how important they are to the success of Hidden Harbor.
· We are keeping the same phone number for the property and main email address. The voicemail for the marina was inundated this last week during our transition. I promise we are working diligently to get back to everyone.

· Look for a revamping of the website and social media pages. This is where we will be making announcements like this one. We will be adding an Instagram account and also using the existing Facebook page as well.
· SOON we are going to be introducing a new marina management system where you can sign your contract, upload a copy of your insurance and take care of invoicing. Be on the lookout for more information in the next week.
Lake season is fast approaching, and I look forward to meeting each of you!
Davis, a Dallas Texas native, says he has been in the industry for years, is grateful for the opportunity and understands the assignment: preserving the family atmosphere treasured by the community.
“… While also bringing it into the modern world,” according to Davis. “I have overseen marinas of all kinds across more than 10 states, both on the coast and lakes. In 2019 I had the pleasure of visiting Center Hill Lake for the very first time. It was then that I met my now wife Andie and this last fall we were blessed with our first child, Lily,” according to Davis.
From one family to another, HHM now enters a new chapter.
“Hidden Harbor is a special place because of its family-like tenants and guests, and we want to keep that feeling as alive as the new operator of the marina. Our focus is to keep the family-oriented environment that is treasured by this community,” according to Davis.
HHM offers boat rental, cabins and camping. For more information, call (615) 597-8800, request a quote or book online.
