Waterfront Cottage
Perfect home on the lake for us while in town for a long weekend! We will book again next time we are in Hickory!

Rhodhiss Bliss 3
Lisa was a very responsive host and we appreciate that the property is dog friendly! The kitchen was stocked with all the necessary items for our stay and the bathrooms were pristine. It's a new home, so everything is spotless and comfortable. The host lives on site, but we barely heard them while we were staying there.

Lake house
Loved staying here, it’s a cozy little spot right on the lake. Neighbors are so friendly, since there’s a shared dock, you do walk through the neighbors yard just a little to get on the dock. Loved waking up to the lake everyday. My son LOVED seeing fire flies and catching them. Only two things missing, the cushions for the outdoor patio furniture and bath mats to step on after a shower. The location is perfect, not far from Publix and general shopping needs. 10/10 would love to go back again :)

Log Cabin Lake Living
This beautiful home was perfect for our wedding guests for a busy wedding weekend. We loved sitting out on the spacious deck overlooking the water and visiting with everyone. Just a short distance from Chickadee Hill Farms if you’re looking for a good place for your out of town guests.

Egret Escape
Egrets Escape was perfect for our short stay in Lake Norman. As with most lake areas, you’ll find that miles on a map equates to much longer times on the roads to get anywhere but this place was conveniently located not far from a Publix in an easily accessible area. While the place is small, it has everything you need, whimsically designed and was absolutely spotless!! It was beautiful to just sit outside by the lake. We took the canoe out briefly, caught a very small fish with the baby rod provided 😄 and cooked out on the blackstone. We really appreciated the little coffee bar upstairs. Highly recommend!

Shady Shoals - Lakefront; Dock; Kayak; State Park;
Wonderful stay, we had so much fun with the kayak, paddle boards, swimming off the dock! The house is beautiful and had everything we needed!

*LUXURY*DEEPWater*VlEWS*HOTTUB*
Very cozy home on the lake. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t very cooperative but we enjoyed our time and the home. The inside of the home is very clean, spacious, and accommodating. The outside could have used a bit more cleaning, but it had been raining a lot and I’m sure that contributed to the dirt along the decks and outdoor furniture.

Lakefront A-Frame: Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Beach & Boat
My family and I stayed at Austin’s home for a Father’s Day getaway and it did not disappoint. Austin’s house was exactly as pictured. Super clean, had all the things I needed away from home, and was so peaceful. My kids did not want to leave as his house provided them with all things outdoors that we don’t typically do. They enjoyed fishing, campfires, paddle boarding, jumping off the dock onto this floating island mat, touring Lake Norman on his beautiful boat and best of all having a BLAST on the water tube. My husband and I appreciated the relaxing hot tub while taking in all the beauty of the lake. Austin was so quick to respond to my questions and was just a joy!! We shared some special bonding time together as a family because Austin’s house provided the perfect space to do so. We would absolutely come back and stay at his place in the future.

Tranquility Cove - Beautiful Lakefront Apartment
Wow, what a location right by the lake! We absolutely loved this accommodation. its tastefully decorated, calm, peaceful and private. the living space is sociable and the front porch allows you to enjoy the view of the lake, the birds and just the wonderful peaceful atmosphere. there are kyaks and paddle boards and a beautiful dining area on the jetty. Comfortable beds, pretty linen, great bathrooms and a well equipped kitchen make it feel top end. Clearly this place is loved by the owner and we recommend it to anyone looking for a tranquil stay. we came to Charlotte for the Speedway but we're so happy we got out of town to explore the countryside and enjoy Lake Norman. Downtown Moorseville is about 20 mins away and was a lovely place for a bit if shopping and some nice coffee ☕️ Thank you Patricia. we highly recommend your beautiful place at Tranquility Cove x

Karen was helpful in sending recommendations and communication regarding the impact of Helene on the area. Always answered questions and put us at ease. The suite was beautiful and the amenities were nice and the views were great. Instructions were helpful. I would highly recommend this suite

It was an absolute pleasure for us to stay at Sherry's place. We really had a nice time and of course meeting her two dogs was the highlight! We would stay again.

Waterfront Penthouse | Fun for Families&Long Stays
My family and I really enjoyed our stay! The unit had anything you could possibly need. Was great not having to run to the store to get this or that as they already had everything available. Very clean!

Davidson, entire apt, Private,next to College/Lake
Lisa and David were exceptional hosts. Lisa communicated with me many months prior to my father’s stay and was exceptionally kind. She went as far as to speak with me on the phone. The home was immaculate and the style was current with clean lines, plush pillows and was extremely inviting. The area in which the home is located is safe, quiet and private. Access to town (as my father cannot drive) was perfect walking distance to coffee shop, diner, restaurants, town green, library and the college campus. Perfect stay. Perfect hosts.

Onyx River Cottage
What an amazing place to stay! Every detail of this house was thoughtfully planned and decorated and included everything you need to make yourself at home. The kitchen and open area living space is fantastic with all amenities to create delicious meals while still hanging with family and friends. Very spacious and comfortable. Loved the lakeside deck, the screen porch and extra entertaining space under the main level with a grill. The lake has beautiful views from both the house and dock, great for boating or just relaxing. Thank you for making us feel right at home! We can’t wait to visit Hickory again!❤️

Sandy Beach Cottage On Lake Hickory
Beautiful property! Ideal proximity to Rock Barn Spa & Golf and great restaurants (Fourk!) but so private and peaceful.

"The Kiser Cottage" #1 on Lake Norman w/Pontoon *
Had an amazing stay at the cottage. Plenty of outdoor activities to take part in, including easy access to the lake! Earl was a great host. He was friendly and responsive, and proactive in his communication. Would recommend to anybody looking to stay at Lake Norman!

Rustic Lakefront Retreat w/Hot Tub & Pet Friendly
After Hurricane Helen damaged my home, my insurance placed me in Ron’s property and it turned out to be one of the best experiences I’ve had. The home is immaculate, beautifully designed, and fully stocked with everything from cleaning supplies to spices. It truly felt like home. Ron is incredibly kind, responsive, and attentive. He replaced a driveway light and changed the BBQ gas the same day I mentioned them. The house is pet-friendly, which was a huge plus for my daughters, our dog, and our cat. The hot tub, pool table, dart board, and lakefront setting made every day peaceful and fun. It’s rare to find a place this clean, cozy, and well cared for, with hosts who genuinely go above and beyond. We’re so grateful for the comfort and joy this stay brought us during a difficult time. This is a hidden gem I’d recommend to anyone without hesitation. Thank you, Ron, for everything!

Catawba River Cottage w/game room
If I'm in the Hickory area again I will definitely try to book this house. It was very clean with plenty of amenities. The view was beautiful, and the hosts are very easy to work with. I would absolutely recommend staying here to anyone that asked.

Sun-filled Lakefront Cottage Oasis
Tim’s wife - “This place was SO CUTE. Even better than the photos, and the dock was everything. As soon as I walked in I started planning our next trip to this same house because it was so perfect for us. So cozy and beautifully decorated. We look forward to staying here again in the future!!”

Dreamy Lake Norman Cottage w/ Panoramic Lake Views
Great vacation spot! This home was very clean and had all the accommodations for a fun trip. There are beautiful views of the lake. We spent most of our time on the upper porch and the dock. We would definitely rent this property again.

Heron's Cove at Lake Hickory
This home was a perfect place for our family with plenty of room! The views were breathtaking, location was peaceful and close to everywhere we needed to be, stores, and restaurants we love, while visiting our hometown and family, for my niece’s HS graduation! The Hosts were very attentive, responsive, & accommodating to our questions and requests! We enjoyed spending time with family sitting out by the firepit, playing games, and corn hole, we even rented a pontoon boat for a day! The kids loved swimming by the dock, using the water foam to play on, and the kayaks! Thanks for letting us make wonderful memories in this beautiful home!
