About this property

#1 Rated Vacation Home w/ Deep Water on the Main Channel

This beautiful house has one of the best views on all of Lake Hickory! Complete with a new chefs kitchen, a Master Bedroom on the main, two more bedrooms and a rec room down below it is a perfect getaway for a relaxing escape. Both the covered porch and paver fire pit patio are wonderful places to enjoy lake life. It is the perfect place to relax and watch the stresses of regular life disappear! Incredible views of the lake from all bedrooms and all of the comforts of home. Our home is located on the main channel with over 110 feet of water frontage.
Our home features a Chef’s kitchen with all stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. Including blender, crock pot, toaster, Keurig, coffee pot, pots/pans, bakeware and dishware. Plus plenty of different types glasses for your favorite beverage and we didn’t forgot the corkscrew either! You won't even need to pack any spices, there is a spice rack with all the spices to cook up your favorite meal. We have a brand new propane grill just outside the kitchen with beautiful views of the lake while you cook! Our large farm style table seats up to 10 adults, with additional eating area at the kitchen island, also a table outside under the covered porch, and a picnic area downstairs- all with spectacular lake views!
We picked only the best mattresses for all of the beds with clean, soft sheets and big fluffy towels. We want you to feel pampered and spoiled!
Our basement rec room is fun for all ages with an air hockey/ping pong table, game table for cards and board games, comfy couch, TV, wet bar, additional fridge and microwave. The door opens fully to have a great lake view while you are playing games and enjoying time with family and friends.
At the dock there are several flotation devices to float on. The water is 18’ deep at the dock, so diving and cannon balls are a must! Take a ride on our kayaks and look for the many turtles, or do some fishing off the dock. We have a few fishing poles available for your use. Our family loves to tie all of our floats together and hang out in the water all day!
Enjoy your evenings sitting by the fire in the comfy Adirondack chairs, perfect for the summer evenings and cool winter evenings as well. The lake is beautiful all year long! There are four chaise lounges with comfy cushions to either curl up with a good book, or work on your summer tan! Feel free to browse our library of books, or trade with your own! We also provide Wifi and internet service as well as a DVD player.
Lake Hickory is one the largest freshwater sand bottom lakes in North Carolina. Lake Hickory was created on the Catawba River in 1927 with the completion of the Oxford Dam 11 miles (18 km) northeast of Hickory. The dam parallels the NC Highway 16 bridge over the Catawba River between Interstate 40 and Taylorsville. It is 122 feet (37 m) high, with an overall length of 1,200 feet (370 m). The spillway section of the dam is 550 feet (170 m) long. The lake was named after the City of Hickory and runs along its northern edge. It covers almost 4,223 acres (17.09 km2) with 105 miles (169 km) of shoreline. Full pond elevation is 935 feet above sea level. It is perfect for those who love to swim, ski, tube, boat or enjoy some of the finest fishing in the area. The lake is home to many different species of fish including Striper bass, largemouth and spotted bass, crappie, lake perch, bluegill, sunfish as well as a variety of catfish. Water quality is very good and fed by mountain springs. We are conveniently located about 1 hour from Charlotte, 1 hour from Asheville (home of the Biltmore Estate!), 45 minutes from Blowing Rock and about 3 1/2 hours from the coast. Beautiful mountain views from the lake!
As far as sports are concerned, Hickory is home to the Hickory Crawdads, a Class-A South Atlantic League minor-league baseball affiliate of the Texas Rangers. The Crawdads play in L.P. Frans Stadium located in the western portion of the city, near the Hickory Regional Airport.
Hickory is also home to the Hickory Motor Speedway, nationally known as the Birthplace of the NASCAR Stars. The speedway was opened in 1951 and features a 1/2 mile track with seating for approximately 5,000 spectators.
The Dusty Ridge State Park is a great park and public boat launch less than a mile from the house.
We hope you will come visit Lake Hickory and see all that this area has to offer!
Sit back, relax, you’re on LAKE TIME now!

About the host

Hosted by Travis & Lesa Roffler

Host profile image
We currently live in Charlotte with our 4 children. Both Lesa and I grew up in Naples, FL and were therefore more used to beach life than lake life. Travis grew up visiting their family lake house in western Carolina on Lake Hiawassee, so he has always wanted a lake house. Lake Hickory was a perfect fit for our family.

Why they chose this property

Charlotte is a quick 1 1/2 hour drive to Lake Hickory so it is far enough to feel away. When we first visited Lake Hickory in 2015 and fell in love immediately and we know you will too. There is just something about the lake that makes all of your stress & concerns just melt away. It's also nice that we are located just a short drive to the beautiful mountains of Boone, NC, and the unique city of Ashville and the Biltmore Estate. There are also several local wineries right here! Of course Hickory is the furniture capital of NC as well! Always something fun to discover nearby!

What makes this property unique

The first thing you will notice when you pull up to the house is the spectacular view of Lake Hickory from the covered patio. Once you enter the home you will discover equally amazing views of the lake from both the Living Room as well as the Master Bedroom. We love the updated kitchen with new appliances and granite counters. It even has a Keurig for your morning coffee! You can also cook on our new grill located just outside the kitchen with lake views! The family room has a huge vaulted ceiling with spectacular lake views- both day and night! The large farm table easily accommodates 10 adults, as well as the covered outside eating porch. You can then head downstairs to the paver patio complete with a large fire pit, where you can cozy up to the fire with your favorite beverage and enjoy the beautiful sunset over the lake. There are also four chaise loungers where you can curl up with a good book or work on your summer tan! Head down to the dock and lake for a relaxing swim or float in beautiful Lake Hickory where all of your worries just get washed away. The water is over 18' deep, so our kids loving jumping and diving from the dock. We often tie all of our floats together and just float the day away! Of course, looking for turtles in the kayaks is always fun too! If you like fishing, Lake Hickory has great spots! We have a few fishing poles for you to use as well. We love it here and we know you will too!
