We felt very welcome to at this obviously well-loved family home. It was cozy and had plenty of room for sleeping for our 13 guests. The kitchens were very well stocked and the options for things to do when we weren't focused on our workshop were plentiful. We had excellent communication with the owners and they were happy to answer questions. Looking through the guest book we could see many others felt the same way we did. We would love to return.

My gamily (25 of us!) traveled to Camp Run-a-muk and loved every minute of the ~week. We all agreed that was one of our very favorite family vacations. We took full advantage of all your wonderful amenities; the teen boys loved the pool table! They also got a kick out of watching the adults play foosball. The house was the perfect size - plenty of comfy beds and clean baths. Overall- fabulous space. The lake front views were lovely, and the water was warm enough to swim in. One of my personal favorite things: the awesome eclectic art all around the house. So cool!!

Beautiful lakefront property, with such fun amenities. It was the perfect place to stay for our extended family - plenty of places to gather, plus plenty of spots to "retreat" when we needed a little quiet time. The owners could not have been more friendly and helpful.

Our family really enjoyed Camp Run a Muk. The 2 kitchens had everything we could possibly need. there was a slight glitch with a bedroom but plenty of room to spread out for what we needed. The dock was very nice for our son’s boat and plenty of space for us there as well. Loved the hot tub after dinner and got to see the fireworks from Crawdads stadium on Sunday night. Hope we get to come back!!

We really enjoyed our stay. The location on the lake is really beautiful. The home was a really good size for our large group. There was plenty of room to spread out & not feel like we were tripping over each other. The instructions from the owner for arrival were accurate & easy to follow. The home could use a really good cleaning. It did not seem as it had been cleaned very well after the last guests. The dishwasher was loaded with dirty dishes & we thought it had not been run so we ran it. The dishes still did not get clean so we unloaded & hand washed the dishes. It does not appear the dishwasher works properly. Overall a very good experience, just needs some cleaning & updating. I would recommend this property as it was such a fun place to stay. Wish it had been warmer so we could have gotten out on the water, but the morning view made up for that.

Camp Run-A-Muk was a blast for our family who is active and loves to play games. We were constantly having fun, from playing ping pong tournaments, to kayaking, to card playing and even getting in some reading. The house is very large and accommodated everyone very comfortably. We were also close to a few parks for additional hiking and biking. I would say that the kitchen could use some updating of appliances. But overall, we had a great time.

We had a family wedding to attend May 2015 and needed a place for 21 family members who were traveling from Oregon, Michigan and Virginia, ages 7 months to 82 years old. This house more than fulfilled our needs. The house is so big that even with 21 people you did not get into each other's way. 4 of the bedrooms have their own bathroom and that was sure a plus! Having two kitchens made it easier for us to make big meals for all of us. The view of the lake is wonderful and having a deck and dock right at the lake was so very nice. My family is already talking about renting this house again next year!

My group of friends have been coming to LR's homecoming for over 15 years and staying in local hotels. This year we decided to make a change and stay in one location. This place is awesome and had tons of space for everyone! We even rented a pontoon boat while we were there! We will stay here every year if possible!

What a wonderful home for a fabulous family vacation. We range in age from 1 to 70. This house was absolutely perfect for our family reunion. We watched heron's nesting in the trees above, canoed out to fish, kayaked all over, swam in the cool lake, relaxed in the hot tub and fished from the dock and along the shore as well. We were treated to Friday night fireworks from the ball park across the lake that we could see from the back yard. Our kids loved the spacious game room and the huge, grassy lawn - plenty of room for soccer, horseshoes, etc. We enjoyed a Crawdad's baseball game, an easy day trip up to mine for gold in Blowing Rock, a hike up to Catawba Falls, a fantastic day spent on a rented pontoon boat (complete with tubing!) on the lake. The perfect family vacation. Plenty of room to spread out or come together. 2 awesomely stocked kitchens, complete with enough dishes, silverware, bakeware, etc. to keep our hungry family well fed. Plenty of options for sleeping multiple families - 3 masters and lots of bathrooms. Sheets included was a huge plus. We had fun with the younger kids in the paved carport playing with the large assortment of balls and outdoor equipment. The older kids really enjoyed having their own private space tucked into the back of the game room. Wide variety of DVDs and VHS tapes provided plenty of options for movie night. Owners of this home were very accommodating. We will be renting Camp Run-A-Muk again soon. Looking forward to creating many more memories here. The Duffy Family Roswell, GA

Wow! what a wonderful home you all have. We came down from Staunton with a few friends and had the LR Womens Soccer team over for dinner Sat. night and you wouldnt have known they were there the house was so big! We brought down a jetski which they enjoyed despite the cold water. They had a wonderful time with pool table, foosball, pingpong, hottub and so much more. There was plenty of kitchens to cook for everyone and plenty of tables to eat at. Nice setting and dock was nice and sunny. So much fun was had by all. Thanks for sharing your wonderful home with us and allowing us to check out late on Monday since the soccer game was in the afternoon. That made it so much more convenient.We will be back.

I'd like to start by saying your house is fabulous. We were really very comfortable with just a few exceptions and I'd like to share them with you. More on that in a moment. First and foremost, the good: We loved the layout! We only ended up with 14 so we had plenty of room and privacy for everyone. This is the first home that we have talked about renting again. From the dock to the fire pit to the morning porch and the rec room, there was always a different spot for all us to get together and play games or talk or do what we do best, eat. Which brings me to my personal favorite. Having two kitchens and three refrigerators was a total blessing! A quick run to the store by one or two people was the only reason any of us left the camp all week. You guys have provided so many amenities and "toys" that we didn't need to visit an attraction to have fun. We loved all of the yard games and kayaks, canoe and other lake toys. The hot tub, pool and ping pong tables were used by all of us. We enjoyed playing cards in the game room off the main rec room. Have I mentioned How. Much. Space. there was?? We loved it! There's a rock right across the lake that we docked at and happened upon a trail that led to a boy scout cabin. What fun that trail was to walk. Speaking of fun, we held a field day on Tuesday and boy did we have a blast. Having the whole yard to play in was fantastic! Now the very short list of negative: Firstly, the spiders are unbearably bad. They are everywhere! And we aren't afraid of a few spiders (in fact, we have been known to take lots of pictures when we see one) but when they're making webs in the chair you sit in or crawling in the hoodie of your jacket, well its a bit much. The other issue we had were the appliances. If we had known that the dishwasher needed to be run twice at times or the oven heated to a much higher degree than you intend, we would have been better prepared and would have rinsed the dishes better and not burned so many dinners. The only other, very minor issue we had was the absence of tvs in the bedrooms. Some nights, after a long day of cooking, cleaning and playing with 14 other people, most of us just wanted to lay in bed and watch a little tv. Adding tvs to the bedrooms would be a huge plus for us but we weren't lost without them either. All in all, we loved your home. We are seriously considering returning next year. Thank you so much for opening your beautiful "camp" to us.

We held our annual women's retreat at this house -- we had 22, and all slept comfortably. The dual kitchens were a gift, and the view of the water is spectacular! The house has a wonderful relaxed feel. Its the kind of place you just want to never leave..... can't wait to rent it again!!!

This home was truly a home. You felt welcomed as soon as you entered. Everything was in working order. We had been recommended to try this house and I in turn have recommended it to many others. The lake views were specular! We did rent a pontoon boat for 2 days and explored the lake. The water was warm and the dock gave us easy access to it. We enjoyed the kayaks and canoe. The hot tub was very large and worked perfectly. We will be back! The toys provided for the youngest members was a pleasant unexpected surprise. The game room was large.

This property worked great for our family coming from VA, NC, PA, OH, and IN. We had 12 adults from 19 to 77 and everybody found a bedroom and bathroom that suited them (quiet/loud, early riser/late sleeper, private/shared) on three different floors. There would have been plenty of beds and bathrooms for more adults and kids without feeling crowded. The two kitchens came in handy, and the rec room kitchen is close to the big gas grill that we used for one meal. And there were plenty of tables on the main floor, in the basement rec room, and outside for indoor and outdoor meals, games, puzzles, reading, etc.. The pingpong table and foosball table in the rec room were great and well used. We even had room to setup a music area in the rec room (small drum set, PA system with four mics, small guitar amp, 2 electric guitars, about 5 or 6 acoustic guitars, and assorted smaller instruments). This is a BIG house. The hammock, lawn chairs (plenty of them), canoe, and hot tub were all used and enjoyed throughout our week. The hot tub especially is very large, seating 6 or more comfortably, sheltered from direct sun, and facing the lake so it was a favorite gathering place. The house is easy to get to off both I40 and Rt 321 which are the major arteries in every direction, although it may be a bit confusing to find the first time. The lakefront location is very close to a marina where we rented a pontoon boat for a day and had a great time cruising on the smooth, quiet lake. Highly recommended--if we come back we'll make sure we rent a boat for the whole week. Even on the weekend we were there, the boat traffic wasn't heavy or fast, so it was easy to steer and dock the boat at the dock right in front of the house. If our travels bring us back to Hickory, we would definitely rent this house again.
