This place was great for our family vacation. 6 Adults and 2 kids under 2. Very clean. The living space is what makes this place perfect. The non master bedrooms are kind of tight but worked just fine for us. Location is solid as its close to highway 321.Owner is very responsive too! Would recommend.
4.0 / 5.0
The house was perfect for my family. The only complaints that I have are the chairs on the deck were dirty and old. It rained overnight and we had no storage to put the cushions so they stayed wet. Also, I couldn't locate any check-out instructions so we just left the sheets on the beds, took out the trash and loaded and started the dishwasher. When we arrived the dishes in the dishwasher were dirty. Good location and good view.

We all loved staying at Ron's beautiful Lakehouse. I grew up in Hickory playing on the lake. Ron's hospitality, playing around in the floats and our kayaks - everything about our stay felt like "coming home." All of us loved the game room too! We got to spend some nice family time with my Mom who lives in Hickory, and eat at HOMERS! We hope to stay here again! So thankful that my family got to experience the easy-going feel of a weekend at the Lake, as well as all of the fun and excitement of staying in the lake all day...some of the things that I love about getting to grow up in this area. Thanks, Ron!!

My son and a handful of friends came to stay the weekend with me. Great sleeping arrangements to keep boys and girls separate and everyone was comfortable. Awesome view of lake! Fun with hottub, pool table, darts, foosball table, and large table to play cards and eat at as a group! Great value! Would stay again, and highly recommend.

5.0 / 5.0
We spent the weekend at this beautifully furnished and comfortable lake house with our college kids on their fall break. What a relaxing way to unwind with a gorgeous view of the lake! The house is conveniently located near shopping and restaurants which was so nice to go out with our family and then come home to a place that felt like we were miles from anything! We enjoyed the game room and the hot tub, and watched college football as well! We were lucky enough to also be in Hickory for the annual Oktoberfest and enjoyed the afternoon wandering around the historic downtown. The owner was responsive and gave us plenty of recommendations prior to our visit. One of my favorite lake vacations yet!
