Exceptional VRBO

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!!

Beautiful Stay

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.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

Absolutely beautiful house with breathtaking views of the lake. House has everything you could ask for and more. The owners truly thought of everything. 👍👏🏼 Located 50 minutes from the airport. Roughly $65.00-$70.00 from Charlotte International using Lyft/uber. No issues getting there and back. Grocery Shopping within 7 min drive. Tons of fun toys for all to enjoy on the dock. Paddle boards/kayaks/fishing equipment for all to enjoy. Downstairs game room also packed with fun toys/games to enjoy. Enjoyed large fire pit outside making s'mores and telling stories. Marina 5 minutes away where you can rent Pantoon/fishing boat. We spent 1 day on the water on the Pantoon boat. Everyone enjoyed. Copper penny bar and grill was short 5 mile boat ride. Great food, drinks and atmosphere.. We will definitely be returning!!! Thanks again for sharing your home with us. 😁

Wonderful family lake vacation

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.

Beautiful Home

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!

About the host

Hosted by Diane S Weyant

Host profile image
My husband, Kenny, and I have lived in NC most of our lives with our now adult kids. We have designed our place with family fun in mind and hope our guests make special memories here. We often travel with extended family and wanted our second home to reflect what we look for in a vacation home. We hope you enjoy it!

Why they chose this property

We explored many lakes in NC and VA and settled on Lake Hickory because of its cleanliness, size - not too big for overcrowding but big enough for all the amenities, and the relaxed, peaceful atmosphere.

What makes this property unique

The view and peacefulness of the screened in porch with a morning cup of coffee or tea is extra special. If it is a bit cool, the fireplace is ready to take the chill off.

The lower level game room is a great place to gather for movie night, a game of foosball or darts, or walk out to the patio with the grill and nearby fire-pit offering a relaxing evening gathering place.
