This cabin is so beautiful. The views were gorgeous. Tim was outstanding. My family would all agree that the screened in porch was our favorite spot. The swinging bed added such a nice touch and was super cozy. We would eat and play games on the table on the porch while we enjoyed the peaceful lake and beautiful scenery. We made lots of wonderful memories during our stay. We did have some trouble with the boat while we were there but it was handled quickly and efficiently so even though things didnât go as planned we all had a great time and enjoyed our time
Felt like we were visiting friends. Kitchen condiments, cleaning supplies, body wash and shampoo - all were available. Personal photos were set around. Nicely appointed with lots of comfy blankets for snuggling. Beds were very comfortable. Plenty of towels. Lake view was beautiful. We had a mechanical hiccup with the pontoon (add-on) but owner did everything he could to make it right. Younger guests LOVED the tube and kayak. Plenty of parking for guests. Will absolutely stay here again.
The location of this house was absolutely perfect. Peaceful setting but close to restaurants and stores. Tim was the perfect host. We rented his boat docked in the slip at the house. We had an issue the first day with the boat, and he had someone out that evening to fix it. I messaged him several times before and during our stay, and he was always quick with a response. The house had everything needed for a great vacation. Highly recommended!
Hickory Hideaway is top notch. The beautifully decorated home has gorgeous views, every convenience you could want, comfortable beds, and a perfect porch. We found the host to be personable, kind, and quick to respond to questions and requests. The whole experience was positive in every way.
I stayed with my wife and two boys. The house was very comfortable and is in a great location. We fished off the dock and took several kayak rides through the cove. We Would love to come back in the summer.
We booked this location to bring together our sons and their families. It was raining the entirety of our stay but we had plenty of room for all of us to play games and just get together with plenty of seating. We enjoyed our stay.
Wanted to get away for the weekend with my family before having spinal surgery in a few days. This home was absolutely, spectacular! There were lots of steps down to the water so we all got a workout but was well worth the view. We plan on making this lake house a yearly tradition as long as it is available. Highly recommend!
This is a trip we take every year. This is by far the best house we've ever stayed in. The location is amazing. The house is cozy and welcoming. Just perfect.
We absolutely loved everything about our stay. It was the perfect setup for the teens to gang in the basement. We rented the pontoon boat which was super convenient. We had a great time and canât wait to return!
We had a wonderful time with our family. The home was very well appointed and decorated very nicely. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you could think of or might need for cooking. The dock has a very nice area with lounge chairs and there was no wake in the cove, perfect for swimming and floating. The screen porch is a very comfy place to hang out. We had a very relaxing day and did not want to leave this beautiful home.
Had a wonderful stay! From the minute you walk in, you see a very luxurious, but casual and comfy home. Beautiful fireplace. Open floor plan. Wall of glass looks out onto screened in porch which has an amazing swing and overlooks the lake.. the screened in porch gives a second seating area for meals and relaxation. Rented the pontoon boat, which is what sold us on the property because itâs so convenient. You can take it out for an early morning fishing trip, come back and relax, go back out in the afternoon and even go back out in the evening. So convenient, which made it so much easier and more likely for us to spend the time out on the lake. Also has kayaks and inner tube to pull behind the pontoon boat. How much easier could it get? You could swim off the dock, although we did not do that because we spent most of our time out on the lake in the boat.
Only negatives are what you see in the listing, which is the fourth bedroom has an exterior entrance. We did not use that bedroom with its sleeper sofa. Just be aware with any lake house, there are many stairs going down to the lake. Even though the stairs have a handrail, It is still quite a hike down to the lake.
We plan to make this an annual trip. Exceeded our expectations. Wonderful much needed getaway.
Hickory Hideaway was the perfect place for our family gathering over the 4th of July. With 3 adult children and their wives, it was great to find a home with enough bedrooms that all had king or queen beds! This home is as beautiful as all the picture show. We had plenty of room to gather around the dining room table and sit in comfort in the living to talk, play games and sharing our special time together. This home is truly a gem.
Canât say enough about this beautiful property. Fully stocked with anything you might need. Beautifully furnished - we felt at home the second we walked in. Communication with the host could not have been better. Will definitely return soon.
My family and I have stayed 3 times at the lake house over the past 2 years. The home is consistently clean. The host is quick to respond and very accommodating! One of our favorite things about The Hickory Hideaway is the open floor plan, wonderful lake view, and well stocked kitchen. We plan to return!
This is the 2nd year we have stayed in this lake home for Thanksgiving. The place is so well stocked, clean and cozy. The open living room lay out allows for the perfect family atmosphere. Fireplace on, games being played, cooking in the kitchen. The host is easy to communicate with and very accommodating. I canât say enough good things! Itâs also conveniently located, close to Winchester. We are looking forward to staying again in just a few weeks.
We had a great visit and enjoyed some early fall colors while kayaking on the lake. Really appreciate the fully stocked kitchen; we made birthday cake for one of our family members, and Hickory Hideaway had all the pans we needed. My family just adores the covered porch and bed swing; it is big enough for our whole family! Only wish we could have stayed longer⊠but weâll be back!
