Couldn’t have asked for a nicer getaway. The river views are amazing and it is so peaceful. Bonus was the Copper Penny Cafe that was walkable with great food and drinks! Hope to be back again in the future!

The entire place was so peaceful and I had everything I needed. When I was forced to extend my stay due to an ice storm they made sure I was safe and made it easy to extend my stay.

Lake Days

We enjoyed our stay very much. Our host was very attentive to our needs. The dock was very nice to have to lounge and swim from. The area under the house was our favorite hangout spot. We would recommend this property to others.

We loved the house! It was so clean and modern…. The area was quiet and relaxing. We spent most of our time fishing off the dock. We especially enjoyed the screened porch at night. We hope to be back!

Waterside weekend

We really enjoyed the home and loved that we were able to walk to the local restaurant and live music! Unfortunately the dock pictured was not in use do the hurricane damage but we still did some fishing from the bank and relaxed in the hammock under the home. Would definitely stay here again.

The property exceeded our expectations. it was comfortable and brand new. Everything you need was there and the river view was very peaceful. The weather was warm so boats and jet skis were going by. There is a restaurant at the end of the street that people travel to on the water and dock while they eat. That will be first on our list of to-does next time. The hosts provided a Handy notebook with instructions for how to run the HVAC,the dishwasher,etc....nothing came up that he had not provided instructions for.We know the area and found it easy and quick to go to Hickory ,Granite Falls and to Morganton. Hickory is a 10 minute drive.The Riverwalk and aviation walk are no more than 15 minutes.This cottage will definitely be our go to place for a peaceful getaway when we come to Hickory a few times per year.

Most VRBO's are older houses that are showing their age a little. Not this one. We walked into a essentially brand new house..new furnishings...new appliances...new dishes/cups/knives. etc. It has great view of the river...just a few steps away (new dock). It feels relatively remote but it is within a 10 minute drive of shopping and restaurants (though there is a very nice restaurant a few hundred feet away. The area under the house is great place to relax on a warm summer day. Watching the Osprey dive for fish and the Great Blue Herons perch on the trees across the river was another thing I looked forward to each morning. I simply can't say enough nice things about this house. We will be back.

Fantastic house. Where to start, from walking in to leaving, we were just blown away by personal touches in this property. So tastefully done and little details are everywhere. Great location, very quiet location near the dam with very little boat traffic compared to other houses further down the lake. You're likely to see more blue herons, eagles and Osprey than boats. Super comfortable beds and great air conditioning system with a lot of control for all over. Being up on stilts means you get a 2 car garage to keep your car out of the sun on full concrete. This are underneath the house is a great space with full patio and lounge seating options. Additionally the screened in porch offers great sunrise sunset options as well as the adjacent open deck and another covered deck on the front(street) on the second floor with yet another open deck off the third floor master bedroom. All are well furnished with comfortable seating. Owners were very responsive and did a great job of keeping in touch. We enjoyed the new Hickory Aviation Museum only a few miles away along with convenient location within shirt distance to plenty of dining options and shopping. Would we stay here again absolutely! Having our boat in the water a few steps from the front door was most awesome!
