We greatly enjoyed our stay! So clean and we had everything we needed, and more. Beautiful view down at the dock. Be prepared- super steep but made for a good workout coming back up :). The kids loved having the whole downstairs to themselves. Highly recommend!

We use VRBO multiple times a year for travel and hands down the BEST listing and property yet. The owners thought of everything that you may need and when I say everything, I mean it. Home was very clean, updated, exactly as described if not better. Quick response time when I had a question and would 100% stay there again and recommend without hesitation! VRBO should pay them to provide classes on how to maintain an excellent stay!!

Fantastic week of fun on our boat on Hickory Lake, exploring Hickory, Blowing Rock, Appalachian State, Linville Gorge, Linville Caverns, and more. Excellent communication with hostess via text and email. Highly recommend.

Breath taking view, so relaxing, and home was beautifully decorated with everything you would need for comfort Game room entertainment, fire pit, deck with fireplace, I will return again.

The house suited our needs perfectly and was a real joy. My only caution is the winding steep path to the dock, for fairly active adults it was an adventure with a spectacular reward at the end, but even we had doubts about doing it too many times.
Otherwise, the host was great; clear and prompt in communication and the house very well kept. Would absolutely recommend.

What A Gem!
Our stay was wonderful. The house couldn't be more comfortable as the hosts seem to have thought of every way to maximize the use and comfort of the house, and the lake experience.
The view is terrific, the dock totally great, and swimming & kayaking was enjoyed by all. I highly recomend a week here!

Our family of 6 had a very relaxing and enjoyable week at the fantastic home on Lake Hickory.
Diane was extremely proactive in all of her communications and very responsive to any questions. We love the lake life and this property was a great fit for our family. A lot of room in their home, very well stocked and furnished and a wonderful location on the lake. Only 15 min from the Lakeside Marina, which also made it very convenient.
We would strongly recommend this home for your family vacation.

The house was immaculate upon our arrival and well equipped for all our needs. I’ve stayed in many VRBO rentals but this was by far the best. The owners provided so many extras that made our stay that much more enjoyable. The dock and swimming area is very private and deep. Loved the kayaks and paddle board provided and kids caught fish right off the dock. We would definitely rent there again.

Amazing Property!
Wow, where to begin! We could not have been more pleased with Hickory Cove, and would give it 10 stars if we could! Diane was an excellent host and very attentive. The house was fully stocked and has everything you could possibly need. The screened in porch upstairs was a great hang out spot for breakfast or just to sit outside to hear / watch the lake. The foosball table and arcade game in the basement were great for the kids (we had a 5, 7, and 13 year old kids in our party) and there was plenty to do for everyone!
The boat house was a whole oasis by itself, with a small refrigerator for bait, drinks, etc. We spent several of the days down at the dock. The paved path from the house to the boat house is not for the faint of heart. It’s very steep and you get a great workout in walking up and down that hill. My family rented a GAS golf cart (electric might not make it up the hill) for the week, and that was very helpful getting to the dock and back. We rented a boat for the day and there’s a spot to tie the boat up at the boathouse. The lake was a great temperature and is located on a small cove which allows for private swimming.
Hickory is a great little town with food and grocery options just 5-10 mins from the house.
We will no doubt be back, and can’t wait to rent this house again!

The house was a bit smaller than we expected, but had everything we needed - it's clean, modern and everything works well! We spent a lot of time on the dock and the screened porch was our favorite spot! The walk to the lake is not for the faint of heart - it is steep, but is good exercise. We would stay again.

Awesome Property - Highly Recommend!
We had an amazing time at this gem of a lake house! It was spotlessly clean with modern amenities and absolutely everything you might need. Lots of space to spread out as well as to gather. Instructions were conveniently located in numerous places so we could self sufficiently enjoy all the amenities.
The little boathouse area on the dock is awesome - fridge, coffee maker, comfortable seating, fishing gear, kayaks - it wasn't a loading zone, but a destination on the property. We spent almost a whole day down there.
The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the stocked cupboards kept us from running to the store for the odds and ends we forgot to pack. We felt welcomed and relaxed.
I highly recommend this diamond on the cove!

Like Being at Home!
This stay was amazing!! First, the property was the best stocked place I've ever stayed. Nothing is worse than getting somewhere and realizing the place doesn't have a wine opener or a baking sheet. This home had everything we needed to eat, clean, lounge, etc. It was extremely clean, I almost hated to put my stuff down. Rooms were as described and plenty of space. The neighborhood is 5-10 minutes from the grocery store, but feels like you're out in the country. The view was incredible, even with our January stay we could enjoy the view from the porch with the fireplace on. Hosts immediately responded to all our questions and made us feel very welcome. They even provided a smore kit! Would recommend to anyone needing a place to stay in the area!!
