Cabin vacation rentals in Lake Hickory

We had a fantastic stay at this cabin. It’s a great location to take day trips and go out for meals. The home was in great condition and had what we needed. Danielle was very responsive. The pontoon boat is an amazing feature to have and we enjoyed taking it out. The hill to get to the lake from the house was quite steep and may be difficult for some people to navigate - just something to be aware of. The actual home / host / experience were all excellent!

Such a fun girl’s trip! We were welcomed with blueberry muffins and flowers, bed were very comfortable, beautiful and well appointed home. We kayaked every day, sat on the dock to watch the sunset. Walked the waterfall @McGalliard on the Valdese greeway 25mins away. Check out the Taste Full Beans cafe in Hickory, best soups, teas and art. Hope to be back soon 😊

Alicia & John were lovely hosts. Kitchen was well stocked with everything needed for cooking meals. There were extra towels & washcloths for our family of five. Lots of great info in their guest binder. Covered pier was an amazing place to spend mornings & evenings. Thanks for a fabulous stay!

We had a blast at Lynne’s place! It is such a cozy home with fantastic Lake access. Very private and felt right at home immediately!

We had a wonderful stay - peaceful, quiet and incredibly comfortable. The space was spotless, thoughtfully decorated and full of calming touches that made it easy to relax. The beds were very comfortable, and I slept deeply every night. The surrounding are was beautifully quiet, offering the perfect escape from the noise of daily life. Samantha, the host, was responsive and respectful. Everything was seamless from check-in to check-out. This stay was what we needed! Highly recommend for anyone seeking rest and tranquility.

Beautiful location with great hiking along the river. Close to restaurants. We had a great time exploring the area around the river and finding the waterfall nearby. Great response from host for our 1 concern. Directions to get there were perfect.

I had a truly lovely stay at this chalet. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by how clean and well-maintained everything was — spotless interiors, fresh linens, and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The peaceful surroundings made it the perfect place to unwind and disconnect. It felt like a little slice of nature's tranquility. What really stood out, though, was the host. Warm, attentive, and genuinely kind, they made sure I had everything I needed without ever being intrusive. Their local recommendations were spot on, and it was clear they put a lot of thought into making guests feel at home. If you’re looking for a serene escape with top-notch hospitality, this chalet is a fantastic choice. I will absolutely return.

This was the perfect place for our family to unplug and unwind. You can tell a lot of thought and details went into the home itself and it was a great location for us.

This place is amazing: the view is gorgeous and the cabin is adorable. We were especially impressed with the kitchen and the attention to detail (everything is themed and labeled). Highly recommend!

Great cabin! Very comfortable and serene. The waterfall was especially lovely to hear each day. Well stocked kitchen and overall home. Would definitely return!

Both the cabin and location were absolutely beautiful! Tucked away and private, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to get away. The hot tub worked perfectly, and was very clean. Highly recommend!

If I was someone on the fence about staying here, I would absolutely stay here! It was beautiful, very clean, well taken care of and very relaxing! It was the best way to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and we will certainly be back! The price was very reasonable for 2 nights in a beautiful relaxing cabin too! We were able to bring our puppy which made it even better! Firefly cabin is a must stay!

5 Stars! We stayed two nights at River Rock in Deep Gap, NC. It was pouring when we arrived, but the covered porch allowed us to still sit outside and enjoy the mountain air. The hot tub was perfect, especially with the rain coming down. The cabin is just far enough from town to feel peaceful and private, but close enough for a quick trip if you need anything. A great spot to relax—we’d definitely stay again.

This property is exactly as described in the listing. Gorgeous view, comfortable, and easy to settle in to. My kids loved the well stocked toy shelves and hot tub, and my husband and I were able to cook and enjoy the beautiful view on the deck. Heather was incredibly kind, helpful, and gracious in all our interactions. Will definitely book again.

The A-frame was exactly as described. Kitchen was well stocked, appreciate the coffee! Beds were very comfortable and plenty of towels, etc. we wished we had time for one more night here to enjoy all the board games!

Adorable little cabin! My best friend and I went for a girls trip and enjoyed sitting on the back porch, listening to the birds and creek flow. Perfect little getaway spot with everything you would need! Close to wineries and downtown.

Richard’s cozy cabin in fleetwood was a very good value for our 2 seniors + pet party. The cabin has a lot of outdoor space with a gazebo in front, a deck by the front door and a new beautiful covered deck with gas fire pit off the back door through the bedroom. We very much appreciated the $0 pet fee for our 4-legged friend. And our compliments to housekeeping, we do not take that for granted. Comfortable bed, kitchen is tight but well equipped and stocked with essentials. An advisory for seniors with a dog, the walks will be up and down some steep hilly terrain; consult your cardiologist.

My husband and son thoroughly enjoyed their stay. They kept saying how much I would love this place. They really had some meaningful conversations and wonderful father and son time. They enjoyed the photos at the cabin and apparently had a great conversation with a neighbor. They were disappointed in the fishing. A game warden advised that the stream wasn’t stocked this year because of the debris and impact of hurricane Helene but he did direct them to another stream just a 20min drive away and he gave them directions to a beautiful waterfall.

The creekside cottage was the perfect place for my family to enjoy a weekend filled with outdoor play. My daughters played in the creek most of the time and it was a beautiful view with my morning coffee. We loved everything about our cozy stay.

First time staying in an airBNB, and this place was great! Getting to the spot was a little testy at times, the roads to the cabin are very small and the roads are curvy. Overall the cabin looked exactly like the pictures, very clean! Jared had thought of everything, samples of toothpaste, extra toothbrushes, full size shower bottles, pantry with snacks, board games, etc. it was great staying here with my family and I’d 100% stay at any other property he’d have available. We had a running joke in the house “thanks Jared!” Because we’d just find more amenities he technically didn’t have to offer us! Pls stay here, it was absolutely great!

We loved the location near downtown blowing rock but also great views of the mountains. Very clean and well kept. Had everything we needed.

It was raining lightly when we arrived, we had no idea Hurricane Helene was also coming to the mountains. We lost power the second day and water, Kenny and heather came to check on us and brought us a propane stove to cook on and boil water. This community has been hit hard by the storm, but it was incredible to see how quickly people came together to help each other. Kenny knew someone who had satellite internet and solar power, and they were happy to let people use it to get messages out. Another person had a satellite phone and offered to send messages for people. There is a local monastery, and the monks worked hard to clear the roads of mud and debris. When this area recovers, you must show them some love and support. The property is beautiful and the area is worth a trip. Please pray for them.

We loved the cabin! Had beautiful views and very dog friendly. Such a peaceful and serene trip

I really enjoyed my stay! The place was incredibly charming, peaceful, and tranquil-exactly what I needed. I would absolutely love to come back! One tip for future guests: don’t forget bug spray 😅 I forgot mine and definitely missed it, though surprisingly, I didn’t get as many bites as I expected given the wooded setting. The driveway can be a bit tricky to find, so I’d recommend arriving before dark if possible. Thank you, Governor Todd, for a wonderful stay—I’m already looking forward to returning!
