This was a quiet and beautiful place, close to Hickory yet off the beaten path. The beds were very comfortable. Sitting on the deck and looking out over the lake and visiting with our friends who had joined us was such a pleasant experience. This was a wonderful place to stay.
My husband, dog, and I had a wonderful time staying at the Lake Hickory Retreat! We had a great time at the community beach and seriously need to know where they got the downstairs couch from because it was SO comfortable! We probably would’ve barely gone upstairs if there was a bathroom and fridge in the basement, however, the view from the upstairs balcony is incredible at all hours of the day! Our only recommendation is to either provide a portable fan or improve the ceiling fan in the king bedroom. We would love to stay here again once the stairs and dock are done!
The view from inside the house and the decks is phenomenal...from sunup to sundown. The house is a 1970's ranch, remodeled inside. Spotlessly clean, new furniture,appliances,cabinetry. The exterior is not remodeled. Don't be put off by it.....the home is very nice to stay in. The materials used inside are high quality and the floorplan is perfect. This is an easy house to stay in. We had a small dog and he got along fine in the house and it was easy to walk him in the front and back yards. The Beach access is convenient and it is very nice to sit down there and watch the boats and Jet skis come in and go out. There is a starbucks 10 minutes away and downtown Hickory and the Viewmont section are also 10 minutes away. The Riverwalk is 7 minutes away and the City Walk only a little further. There is plenty to do and see. We enjoyed sitting on the deck (Both decks have there strong points) and watching the comings and goings across Lake Hickory. We have a Ford Expedition and were easily able to park in the driveway,under the side deck. It is a quiet and private location.
