Weekend getaway
We had a great stay at the Hickory Nut Lodge.
The views of the valley and Chimney Rock are beautiful.
The house is very comfortable and well equipped.
Dining and shopping were close by and the game room was a plus.
Everything was wonderful, the home was great for our family.
We all enjoyed the spacious rooms, game room & comfy beds/sofas.
The view is outstanding!!
Location & neighborhood great.
Definitely recommend!
We can’t wait to return!!
Fantastic home! There are 3 floors, with relaxing areas on each floor. Plenty of room for everyone. The game room on the lowest level made evenings very enjoyable, whether playing cards or foosball. The view is absolutely breathtaking from the two upper floors and it's so quiet outside. When we return to Lake Lure, we will check a date so we stay at the Hickory Nut Lodge.
We spent two weeks at Hickory Nut Lodge and we can't say enough about how Amazing this house is! Everything was Perfect! It was very clean, comfortable, great location and a view that is unmatched! Thank you so much for sharing your little slice of Heaven with us! It was really hard to leave.
This place was ideal. Each couple, person had his own bedroom with bath. That was primary. The location was great, close to everything. the only thing I would have liked would be able to do some walking outside. We had a great time.
Our family (Asheville, Seattle & Atlanta) had a wonderful stay at Hickory Nut Gap Lodge! The view "grabbed" us as we walked in & the beautiful 3-story house had everything we could possible need, including a fun game room on the bottom level. We totally enjoyed our whole family as we cooked & played, & enjoyed the area, as we do annually, treasuring our time together! Thank you! Thank you!
Would definitely stay again. Wow what a view! Downside— too many detailed chores required upon departure when everyone is scrambling to get out at 10am or be charged.
Held a short family get together. We rented 3 places between the family members and chose Hickory Nut as the main get together place in the evenings. Worked out beautifully. Only downside: finding pots and pans, etc., in the kitchen’s lower dark corner cabinets. We really loved the house and it’s convenient location!
We really enjoyed our stay at this property! The views were phenomenal from both decks. The layout was perfect for two families as we each got our own level. The kids loved the game room! We would definitely return!
I can’t say enough good things about this property. The view is exceptional, the house feels like a home and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to comfortably cook meals if you want to stay in. Plenty of space for a family gathering! If you are considering booking this property, do it! You won’t regret it :)
We opened the front door and there was a collective gasp. We have stayed in MANY mountain houses and have never had such a view. The house made visiting easier….gates and fun times on the lower level and the older set upstairs. We had a week’s stay there and it was wonderful.

Best All Time Family Vacation
Most beautiful view of the mountains from the huge windows all across the back of the cabin! Comfortable beds, nice thick towels and very clean! The kids enjoyed the lower level playing all the games in the lower level game room. Plenty of areas to hike and a must is Chimney Rock and visiting the shops of the quaint little town. The cabin provided plenty of space for each to enjoy time alone or be together as a family to have fun times! This cabin was the absolute best! It will not disappoint!
This was our second stay at this beautiful property. I brought my father and mother up for my dad’s 86th birthday! The view did not disappoint with the beautiful fall foliage. It was great for my parents because they were able to enjoy everything on one level. My husband and I used the downstairs bedroom. It was such a wonderful weekend. One of my favorite places to stay for sure!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home! The view was spectacular and the accommodations were more than enough for us! The place was immaculate and very welcoming! We will definitely consider this place in the future! The only complaint we have is that our stay was too short!

Weekend Getaway
We enjoyed our weekend getaway.
Hickory Nut Lodge is the ideal mountain home!
It's cozy but at the same time lets you enjoy the beautiful views through
the den windows and on the deck.
House was well equipped and beds were very comfortable!
We had a great time.
So close to everything but a world away- this beautiful home was so comfortable and was everything we wanted; Gorgeous views with a level, concrete driveway for motorcycles. Easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway and other beautiful mountain roads. Minutes from Chimney Rock, and Biltmore but away from highways. Well stocked kitchen, toasty fireplace and plenty of big tvs!! Loved it!
