Absolutely perfect! Location perfect for our multiple college tours. The property is amazing. Bird song, deer, private pond. House is perfect for 4. Definitely will return.

Sweet Summertime on the Lake: Modern Home near Hyc
We absolutely adored this house during our stay! House had everything we needed to make a comfortable stay. Coffee station is stocked, and just about everything you may need to cook/grill a nice meal (lots of spices in the drawer ;)). Bathrooms and bedrooms had all the essentials and very clean! This home has a lot of different hangout spots that made us feel like there was never a dull moment. Screened in porch was perfect for rainy hours, or the front deck was great for morning coffee, record player filled the house with music and boat deck on the water for a different view of the house and lake. (Definitely inquire about boat rental!) Secluded but not far at all from town. Our hosts Taylor & Dylan provided phenomenal service! Above and beyond I would say, to every detail on checking in and finding the place - to nearby recommendations - details on checkout - and sending a message throughout the entire experience to know if things are going well. 10/10 would recommend!

New Listing! - Lakefront Cottage
We enjoyed our long weekend at the lake, and Joe was a responsive, helpful host. The house is just as described and photographed...cozy and comfortable. The fresh coffee grinds and filters were nice extra touches. We spent a lot of time on the paddleboards and kayaks, which were easily accessible in a locked storage room off the dock. The dock is nice and wide for sitting by the lake on the Adirondack chairs with a good book or speaker for music, which we enjoyed doing. We cooked in each night, having brought food from home, and we also made a grocery run to Wal Mart about 20 mins away. We returned home today rested and relaxed after our lake weekend, and would stay here again!

Pickle and Paddle at Hyco Lake. Private Pickleball
My family and I had a wonderful stay at Scott's beautiful place. The home felt so inviting from the moment we walked in. The house was immaculate and the views unbeatable. The kitchen had all of the amenities we needed to cook our meals. Scott was responsive to all of our questions. We enjoyed every bit of what the property had to offer.

Lakefront with Million Dollar Views on HYCO Lake
This house was amazing and the host was extremely responsive. We were looking for a place to relax and fish, and this was perfect. We were only there for few days but managed to catch so many different types of fish and probably close to 60 fish total. The house was clean and had everything we could imagine. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing adventure.

Secluded home minutes from DT Raleigh and NC State
Perfect spot for 5 people. Great kitchen and lovely backyard.

Studio apartment near hiking trails.
Michael & Clara were great hosts! They were very responsive, flexible and helpful. The apartment was exactly what was described. I highly recommend their apartment to anyone looking for a place to stay for a few nights! Would definitely stay again if I’m in the area.

Panoramic Lakefront Oasis at Hyco Pointe
We had an overall 5 star stay here. The house and area itself is quiet and lovely. The hot tub and wood stove made the space very cozy. The views were amazing! Because there wasn’t much boat traffic or many neighbors around, it was very peaceful and quiet (there is probably more noise in the summer). Nearby uptown Roxboro is fun place to walk around visiting shops, bakeries and restaurants, even though it is small. And even though this is a rural area, it’s easy to get groceries. We also appreciated having soap and toilet paper and tons of board games provided. None of the house quirks bothered us, although in the summer months, being asked to limit laundry after lake activities might be more impactful on our enjoyment. We did have less responsiveness from the host than we are used to. None of our communication was a vital part of our comfort/overall enjoyment, but I do think it’s worth mentioning that since I’d be concerned if there had been a more serious issue to correct.

Lovely two bedroom apartment, close to downtown.
I give it 5 star, it not mean it’s good. there’s no hot water for the shower. I tried many times, but it just wouldn’t get hot. The other faucets have hot water, but not the shower, which is really strange. So, I haven’t showered for five days—it’s miserable. There are two rooms. The one near the door is nice and quiet. The inner room, however, is very noisy—every time the air conditioning turns on, it makes a loud noise. Plus, there’s no blanket in this room. I eventually found one in the cabinet, but it’s thin—not really a proper comforter. Pretty rough experience.

Charming Studio #1 w/Walking Trails-"Farm Time"
The Farm Stay studio was perfect! It was beautiful and bright and cozy, with gorgeous views of the farm and pond. The use of space was incredible with every amenity needed available. Great shower as well! Betty sent us so many ideas of places to see in the area and was a wonderful host! We hope to stay again when we return to the area.

Lakeside Condo near a Greenway
My husband and I came to see our nephew’s baseball team in a tournament. Location was great, very clean condo and we had a little time before checkout to walk down to the lake! It was beautiful and worth the short hike. The neighborhood was very quiet and we enjoyed our stay?

Cottage on the Lake
A serene, relaxing setting right on the lake. Comfortable, clean accomodations. The hostess went above and beyond to make our stay the best possible. Every detail was attended to. Would definitely go back.

Private Lakefront Cottage with Panoramic Views
Loved loved the stay. Great for my family including my dogs. Only thing missing was a few sauce pots but I made it work without them just fine. Will definitely be back to spend more time at the boathouse.

Charming cottage w/ a beautiful, secluded yard
Molly’s place was the PERFECT location for our family anniversary. The doggos loved the huge yard and spent hours exploring every nook and cranny. I honestly can’t put into words how absolutely incredible this home was. We will be back!

Laughing Waters - Cheerful cottage on Lake Hyco
We had a great time paddle boarding the lake and chilling on the screened porch. Went out for drinks to buoys to break up the stay.

Warm + Peaceful Home w/ Fire Pit on Haw River
We loved our stay at the Mill Cottage. It was the perfect base camp for us as we travelled to Pittsboro and Silk Hope to visit family and attend a funeral. The Hobbs family was extremely friendly and accommodating. We loved the views and sounds of Terrell’s Creek! We hope to return for our next visit with family!

Hyco Hideaway
great place if you are the outdoors type. beautiful surroundings, lake is right there you can catch fish right off the dock. very secluded, private and plenty of woods. keep in mind it is North Carolina, and it's not flat ground. so there is a lot of hills, but it was a great stay for me. the host is great, and very responsive if you need anything.

Wine Down in 5BR Lake Front Home at Hyco Lake!
The location is a very peaceful getaway! The house feels just like home!

Private Retreat Cottage on Hyco Lake
My daughters and my sister and I had a great time visiting John's place for a quick get away! What a peaceful place to stay. The views were great. The lake so lovely to look at and hang out on the doc. The cabin is bigger than the photos make it appeared. The kitchen is new and very well equipped. AC worked great in 100 degree weather too! We were glad we had a nice SUV to drive down to the doc to take our chairs and rafts to the doc due to the slope and one of our family members needing to have some help down to the water. I enjoyed waking up to deer in the field grazing before starting our day. Lovely time and would love to come back next summer too.
