Relax as the sun reflects off the water. Visit the sights of western and Piedmont North Carolina.

Winston-Salem, Charlotte, Asheville, and the mountains are all within an easy drive. Enjoy shopping for furniture at the Hickory Furniture Mart or along US 321, gem mining in Hiddenite, races at the tracks in Hickory, Charlotte , or golfing at local courses.

Perfect Lake Retreat

Loved it. Everything was as listed. Quiet and clean. Loved sitting on the porch watching the boats go by. Super close to our friends marina so boat pick up and drop off was perfect. We met One of the owners, Faye. She is lovely. Highly recommend if you’re in the area. The town is super cute too! And Twisted Vine Winery was a perfect Saturday afternoon stop!

Great property in a great location!

My husband and I had a great time getting to know a bit more about Hickory. This property was in a great location to go kayaking right off the back dock, then go over the bridge to a nearby trailhead for hiking, then to the city walk for dinner and socializing. We plan to come back during the summer. Thank you!

Hickory "hideaway"

This property is a perfect spot to stay while visiting friends & relatives in the Charlotte/Hickory area. Fay & Joe provide a spotless ADU which gives you privacy & a beautiful view off your deck to Hickory Lake. If you are looking for great scenery & a quiet retreat I highly recommend this property. We had a wonderful week stay & won't hesitate to stay with them again when we are in the Hickory area. Allan & Julie Paterson

Peaceful Getaway

Husband and I went for a quick getaway. Everything was clean and convenient. The cats were so sweet and nice company to have while you sat on the balcony and looked at the lake. Fishing was extremely relaxing as well. They had board games for the rainy night we had and the kitchen was well stocked. Loved it and would definitely try to go again.

Relaxing Time On Lake Hickory

We enjoyed our stay. It was close to what we were doing in Hickory. The deck was relaxing and the home was well equipped with everything we needed to cook in the kitchen. The owners had the lights on for us because we were arriving late. We appreciated that. Next time we’re in Hickory we will definitely stay here!

The home was welcoming, comfortable and nicely appointed. Driving directions, check in and check out were simple and straightforward. The location was beautiful, we particularly enjoyed sitting on the dock by the water and listening to birdsong.
