Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Lake Hickory

We loved our stay at Bunny and Jeff’s place and cannot wait to come back! It’s literally 10-15 mins from everything in downtown Boone, within minutes to 3 different grocery stores, yet extremely cozy and peaceful, away from it all. I loved relaxing on the front porch swing and all the wonderfully curated special touches throughout the home :-)

Wow! We loved staying here. Such a beautiful house with great amenities! Highly recommend!

this was our second time staying here & it’s the most beautiful & relaxing home! we felt right at home immediately & it’s always clean & welcoming! can’t recommend this beautiful lake house enough!!!

Absolutely gorgeous location and the amenities were fantastic. Sadly we only stayed a single night but we enjoyed every part of the house. My wife and daughter were enamored by the creek and outdoor experience even though a flash rainstorm prevented us from experiencing it after dinner. Great place we recommend it!

I had a great visit in this adorable spot right on the water. I was able to meet my new grandbaby and have a quick but relaxing visit. Would definitely stay here again! The courtesy snacks were a nice touch!

Great location! Very responsive host! Game room and master bedroom upstairs was a huge hit!!

Our stay at the Green Creek Shipyard was absolutely wonderful and exactly what we need.. a peaceful relaxing getaway! Our 2 highlights were the daybed by the waterfall and the front porch swing! And the indoor space was extremely functional and well-designed!! 1000% recommend staying here!!

Pie in the sky was perfect for our family of 5! The views were absolutely incredible. It had everything we needed to cook, relax and stay for the weekend. Our family has stayed at dozens of Airbnb’s and this was one of our favorites. Highly recommended!

It is very cozy for a short stay. It is about 14 minutes to Grandfather Mountain. Great communicating with Amy prior arrival, she greeted us at the entrance.

What a great place to stay. Perfect surroundings, nice space and super clean. We loved it!

Bed was comfortable, bathroom was clean. The kitchen was well appointed - had everything that we needed. The area was very quiet and private - felt safe arriving home after dark. Happy to recommend - would stay again.

The place was great, even though it was a very quick stay. The mattresses were very comfortable, place was clean & inviting. My wife really admired their garden and has now decided we are adding a butterfly garden to our farmstead. We would def stay again.

We enjoyed our stay. Cindi was friendly, hospitable, and gave us great recommendations of things to do and places to eat nearby. We would stay there again.

Loch Norm Lair is beautiful and relaxing. Great neighborhood. Just the peaceful week we needed. Rick and Judy are extremely friendly. Rick loves to share his boat and will take you for a ride. We sat and talked with them on several occasions and shared a dinner at a restaurant. The place is well cared for and a great deal, very reasonable pricing. It was a shame the sailboat wasn't working, would have loved a ride. We are already talking about a return trip in warmer weather to fully enjoy the water. Thank you so much for the beautiful week. Debbie and Jim

Highly recommend! Quinsia was a great host, communicated check in details, checked in the next day to make sure we were doing well, very attentive! Everything was very clean and comfortable. Perfect location to walk to events in uptown! Would return if we are in Charlotte in the future.

This stay was a treasure! Very affordable, great location to relax and sweetly decorated and welcoming feel. The hosts provided us with everything we needed and prepared the space for a beautiful weekend! Will most certainly be back!! We also appreciated the reasonable rate, allowing us to pour back into the community. Restaurants and shopping options were first class!

What a peaceful getaway! This cabin on the river in Belmont was everything we hoped for, secluded, quiet, and surrounded by natural beauty. It’s thoughtfully tied into its surroundings and gives hints of the nearby botanical gardens, with beautiful plantings all around that made the whole space feel like a hidden retreat. The back deck was perfect for early morning coffee, with birdsong as our soundtrack. We didn’t get to use the fire pit this time, but we will be back for that! Highly recommend if you’re looking to relax and reconnect with nature.

What a delightful gem located a short distance away from West Jefferson. Peaceful, pastoral, private setting. Gravel road and parking, but easy to access. Maritza’s Cabin is new and has all the things we needed for a short stay in the mountains. Stove, oven, refrigerator, sink, small coffee, pot, glasses, dishware, etc. For those that count on microwaves, there was not one. It was not a problem for us. Downstairs bed, all towels and linens were good. We had issues with Wi-Fi, but really didn’t need it for a night. Great cell service there. Maritza was very responsive and I would recommend this cabin if you are in the area or thinking about heading that way! When we asked if we could buy some eggs from Maritza, she happily had a few delivered to our front porch for free . Loft sleeping area is a steep ladder and low ceiling, as clearly pictured in the description. Probably best for children or very agile people.

Walter gave us an amazing place to stay for our anniversary weekend. Very secluded and private, which is something we were looking for. We felt right at home when we walked in and wish we could take this cabin back home. Everything was very tidy, well organized and we didn’t have to go looking for anything. We didn’t get to use the fire pit because it rained a majority of the weekend, which we were bummed about, but that didn’t stop us from sitting outside and listening to the sound of the river, rain and frogs. Very peaceful! Being so close to the river it made it very easy and quick to run down and throw a few casts in the river. Thank you Walter for the very comfortable stay. This place is on our list of places to hopefully return to!

everything was as they described it. there were universal setbacks that were out of their control. however they responded immediately and professionally in resolving everything with us. highly recommended.

This place is so lovely. We had everything we needed and felt right at home. The location is perfect for Grandfather Mountain, Blowing Rock and even Boone. The view was gorgeous! I'd love to come back in Autumn to see the changing leaves. Sarah was an excellent host; very responsive when we had trouble with the door code. You can tell this place is well loved and very clean! The bed was sooo comfy. Not often do you see a king bed in Airbnbs, so that was a huge plus for me. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a peaceful getaway that feels like home! We'll definitely be back some day.

Great host! Jared was responsive prior, during and after our stay. Everything was so cozy and comfortable and had everything we needed or expected. The fireplace was an added bonus and the view on the balcony was a great place to sit and have coffee in the morning. We felt secluded and peaceful and would love to stay there again!

The A-frame with a huge patio is completely surrounds by trees is the prefect mountain get away but also very close to town. Very stylish and picturesque.

This place is incredible! It is a beautiful, thoughtful, and cozy home. I can’t say enough about how peaceful this place is for also being so close to in town amenities and hiking trails. All the host instructions were clear, every time I had a question I would read the guide first and my question was answered. We definitely plan on staying on our next WNC visit!
