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 didn’t go as planned we all had a great time and enjoyed our time

Amazing!

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 can’t wait to return!

Back for the 3rd time

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!

Fantastic Family Time

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 can’t say enough good things! It’s also conveniently located, close to Winchester. We are looking forward to staying again in just a few weeks.

Great spot!

We really enjoyed our stay and particularly the boat during our time. Place was clean and well stocked. Tim was easily accessible for any issues. Only complaint is that the 4th bedroom is not accessible from inside the house (have to go on the deck and outside to access) so didn’t work with our group of young kids. Otherwise, we loved it and will definitely be back!

As advertised!

We enjoyed our stay at this beautifully re-modeled and decorated family lake house. It was just what we needed. The swing on the covered porch was fantastic! The fall foliage on the lake was beautiful this time of year. We appreciated how close we were to the state park. We had a slight hiccup with the entry code not working; owner got a remote notice about a wrong code entered and called me before we could even find his number. Talk about responsive!

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.

Amazing Host

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!

Lake paradise

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!

Wonderful Relaxing Space

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.

Even better than pictured

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 it’s 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.

July 4th Weekend

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.
