Welcome to the Sleepy Hollow Lot Owners Association Website

Here lot owners can access the SHLOA By-laws, Restrictive Covenants, a roster of the SHLOA Board of Directors, SHLOA newsletters, Lot Owner's Resource/Information Packet, and relevant news and events.
SHLOA Rental Guidelines and House Rules: The Board finds that the manifest purpose and intent of the covenants governing the lots in the Sleepy Hollow community, when properly read as a whole, is to preserve the character and nature of this development as a stable residential community, free from transient use and occupancy, free from commercial like activities and free from uses that may become an annoyance or tend to interfere with the security of lot owners in their property.

According to the WVDOA, Sleepy Hollow could potentially lose 80% of its hardwood trees in just 2 years if we fail to control this destructive pest.

Resolution to Adopt Interpretative Rule Regarding Campground Development Sites
Incident to the Association's covenant enforcement responsibilities, the Board of Directors has been met with questions regarding the proper interpretation of the restrictive covenants as they relate to the use of lots for purposes other than for "one residence." Specifically, the Board has been asked whether a lot or combination of lots may be used as a location for multiple individual camping site or as a campground. After careful consideration, the Board adopted an interpretative resolution on this matter. Please click the following link to review the Interpretative Rule Regarding Campground Development Sites.
