My wife and I were in Hickory for a long wedding weekend. We really enjoyed our stay and this was a great alternative to a hotel in town. Convenient location, great views and comfortable accommodation. Would absolutely recommend and stay again!

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

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.

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. The friendly kitty's welcomed us every time we came in and out and we're a wonderful perk. The hosts were wonderful and responsive and we recommend this property wholeheartedly.

Such a beautiful place, so peaceful and just the right place that I needed to seek some alone time. The owners of the property were so sweet. I would definitely come back again!

We really enjoyed our stay! It was everything that was described and we couldn’t have asked for better owners. We would definitely stay again in the future
4.8
The owners were very nice and great at communication. The instructions for check-in and check-out were very clear. If we have the opportunity to stay here again, I am sure we will. We loved the lake view and the use of the kayak! There are several steps up to the apartment, so it would not be good for those who cannot do a lot of steps. For us, it was not a problem. The apartment was well-furnished and comfortable.

Our hosts kept the place pretty clean, included more amenities than expected. Super friendly and helpful with the chat through VRBO. Gave us a generously late check out when our travel plans took a turn for the worst and it looked like we might have COVID. The cats were delightful.
Hepa filter was really appreciated so the apartment is like an allergen-free zone. (We are allergic to the cats despite loving to spend time with them)
Kitchen was fairly clean and everything was well organized. No pests in the apartment.
Only criticisms were that some of the dishes were dirty upon arriving, and that it was not clear to us by the listing that this is in fact an in-law apartment. The hosts were pleasant enough to where this wasn’t an issue at all.

We enjoyed our stay, it had been three years since we’d visited our old home in NC. The house a was a perfect location closely situated with the shopping and family destinations we had. The house was immaculate and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed a bit of fishing on the pier and my daughter caught 7 fishes! The area was quiet and peaceful, perfect to get away from busy life but close enough to amenities.

Nice, cozy, comfy apartment in a quiet neighborhood. Fay & Joe were good hosts and answered any questions we had promptly. We really enjoyed relaxing on the upper deck overlooking the lake in the mornings and evenings, and lounging on the lake in our kayak. Our 4 year old granddaughter and 2 year old grandson enjoyed playing on the beach with the beach toys provided and riding around the lake in the pedal boat. Very nice relaxing stay, we'll definitely be back!

First off, the communication was great! We got checkin information well in advance of arrival. Everything was exactly as described and expected. Comfortable, relaxing, cozy, and clean! The appliances worked well, the check out instructions were simple, the water pressure was good, and the bed slept great!
Beautiful waterfront view! We will be back!

My husband and I celebrated our 15th anniversary here and it was the perfect place for peace and quiet. We enjoyed sitting on the high deck and overlooking the lake. We also enjoyed sitting on the pier in front of the house and watching boats go by. The cats were so fun to sit with and enjoy the solitude of the lake. We will definitely go again!
