Thank you so much and I'm so glad you enjoyed yourselves!
We really enjoyed our stay - the space suited our family so well. Comfy beds, very homey feel, beautiful view, large kitchen and dining area. Would love to stay again.
It was a nice home with plenty of room. It was nice to be able to eat at the large dining room table with family. It was also great to be able tovacation with our fur baby. We had a wonderful time and the host was quick to respond to any questions I had. Thanks for a great place to stay.
We had a lovely time staying in this VRBO near Deep Gap. The property was very inviting and the view was just beautiful. We would stay here again in a heart beat.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Aubrey was fantastic to communicate with, she even checked in on us during our stay to make sure we didn’t need anything. The house was clean, had everything we needed, was close to Boone/West Jefferson. We will definitely be staying again!
This was our 3rd time at this property. Absolute quiet once you get there. Plenty of deer to watch. This time we had wild turkeys pay a visit too. If you like to star gaze, this is the place.

We're so grateful for your repeated stays and I'm glad you've gotten to see some good wildlife! We hope to see you again!
Cabin had plenty of room, had everything we needed and nice and secluded on top of a mountain. Owners were really easy to work with and responded immediately when we reached out.
Four of us stayed here for a long weekend. This home is in a beautiful and remote location. We had no problems with the home it is very well stocked and the host was excellent.

It was my pleasure to host you again and I'm glad y'all enjoyed yourselves. Thanks so much!
We had a great time with family and friends. Plenty of room for everyone and very comfortable. Property is just as it is listed. However, would definitely need 4 wheel drive for winter months.

I'm so glad you and your group enjoyed yourselves!
Hickory Lodge is a secluded gem with easy access to anywhere you’d want to go! We brought the family dog and met up with our college student to spend Thanksgiving together. We enjoyed a trek in the woods and hung out around the fire pit. House was clean and well-stocked. Would definitely come back. Thank you to the host for sharing your beautiful property with others!

We're so glad you had a good time and you enjoyed your holiday!
Very comfortable house - works well for a large group.
The only draw back was the road up to the driveway- fortunately we didn’t meet anyone on the road since it’s not one I would want to back down.

I'm glad the place was a good fit for your group! We only have a few houses on the road so on the extremely rare occasion someone else is coming the person heading down just pulls into a driveway.
Review
We loved our stay at Aubrey's property! The driveway is definitely exciting but the house and views are spectacular! The house has everything you need- plenty of shampoo/conditioner/body wash, towels, blankets, box fans and ceiling fans, games, books, comfy beds, cozy covered porch to sit on and listen to the rain, and a great fire pit in the backyard to watch the sunset while you enjoy roasting marshmallows. Easy check in process, and Aubrey was available anytime we messaged. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Thank you so much for the nice words! I'm glad y'all enjoyed yourselves!!
We loved this place. It was very roomy, clean, and dog friendly. There was nothing that wasn't provided that we lacked. The owner was super accommodating and gave us all the information we needed up front. Is the driveway steep? Yes. Will you need 4-wheel drive? Yes. However, its not the kind of climb where you feel like your going to fall off a mountain. Such a beautiful place and very convenient to all of the surrounding towns. We will absolutely stay there again.

I really appreciate the kind words and I'm glad that we could make your stay so positive.
Every year our family goes to the mountains to cut down our Christmas tree. This cabin was absolutely beautiful and had all the comforts of home! We had a wonderful weekend. The driveway is very steep as we were told. Got a little scared but it was so worth it!

I'm glad we could play a part in your tree-cutting trip!
We loved the place and the seclusion of the home. It had rained a lot the week prior which made the driveway a bit difficult to get up. I would recommend a 4WD or AWD. The owner was great to stay in communication with us to make sure we got in and the place was well worth it when we got there. Everything in this cabin that we needed!

I'm so glad you enjoyed yourselves and that I was able to let you know about the driveway condition the day before your arrival. That is certainly why we've included the AWD/4WD year-round recommendation on the listing!
You have complete seclusion and a long range view. The property is exactly as described. Aubrey is a wonderful host, extremely responsive and helpful. Everything you need is at the cabin, very thoughtful. There is even a hiking trail that takes you up to the Blue Ridge Parkway and a short walk along to the overlook to connect to the Mountain to Sea Trail. Highly recommended. Thank you Aubrey!
Had a great weekend during peak season to visit Boone and surrounding areas. The house was great and we had no problems. The host messaged us and was available if needed.
The drive to the property is secluded and parts are steep, just to be forwarn. Driving through areas like that is nothing new for us so we didnt mind.
Overrall it was great and our kids 3 and 6 loved it!
The house was great. Renters need to be warned about the driveway getting there. One way, washed out and all-wheel, 4 wheel drive just about MANDATORY in all seasons. once we got there everything was great however. Sheets in the bunk room weren't all that clean as they had some pet hair on them. I took pictures but it's hard to see. Not that great of a deal to us however as we threw blankets over the sheets and went on about our business. Neat house though and the owners were there and very quickly responsive to questions that we had.

I appreciate your patience since Hurricane Ian came through that weekend and the heavy rain made driving the mountain road more challenging. Thanks for the feedback on the sheets and we'll have our cleaners pay them extra attention in the future!
