Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Lake Hickory

We had a beautiful stay at the BEE-N-BEE! The home was spotless and nestled in a peaceful, mountain setting with tall trees and fresh, clean air. We loved walking across the street to the honey store — our daughter enjoyed the animals and playground, and the honey was delicious. The owners were incredibly kind and hospitable, and there’s a meaningful mission behind the property that made our stay even more special. It’s close to Boone and Valle Crucis but still felt like a quiet escape. We expected road noise but hardly heard a thing. Sunrise and sunset over the ridges were stunning. The porch was a favorite — mosquito-free with rocking chairs and soft lights that made it feel magical. The kitchen had everything we needed, and it was amazing knowing honey is processed right behind the home. We’d absolutely stay again — 5 stars all around!

The house was great and there’s plenty of space, if there was anything we needed Skylar was responsive and good with communication. We will definitely be staying again.

This is a fantastic getaway location to unwind and live the lake life! Fantastic home, fantastic host. 10/10 Recommend

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!

Beautiful cabin close to everything but feels private. Heartily recommend.

We had a great week at Pie in the Sky. The views are spectacular and the home is welcoming. Although there are other homes nearby, the neighborhood feels so peaceful. We enjoyed quiet mornings and evenings on the deck. Options for daytime activities are plentiful in the surrounding area. (Grandfather Mountain, Boone, Blowing Rock, Linville, Asheville) Corinne was very responsive with any questions that we had. Any issues that we had were quickly resolved. The home was well appointed with everything we needed to settle in and make the week easy. We picked up groceries at Lowes - a short drive west. The hot tub was so nice after a long day of hiking. My kids loved the separate lounge area and the cabinet of games. We would love to stay here again.

Absolutely fun little get away area! I was there for my birthday weekend and it was nice and relaxing. Landon is very proactive with reccomendations and making sure you've got everything you could need. Would reccomend

It was a very nice place to stay and visit.

Amy’s place was perfect! Exactly as shown in photos, had everything we could’ve possibly needed, & she left water bottles on the counter for our arrival :) We had a quick one night stay and Amy’s rental was great for us.

the place was great. very private, even though an apartment, it had no neighbor's. very clean and well laid out. thank you!

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.

Rick and Judy's place is an amazing find! They thought of everything you might need and is such a great location. They are very friendly and all the lake amenities are top notch! We plan to stay here again next year!

Johnny’s place offered everything I needed and more for a night. It’s easy to walk into and around the little town Banner Elk, but it also has beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Johnny and his wife are very friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed my visit!

We’ve stayed at this Jahan's place several times and keep coming back every time we visit Charlotte, it truly feels like our home away from home. The beautiful interior design, spotless cleanliness, and the warm, friendly hospitality of the host make it an easy choice for us. The location works perfectly for our needs, and having Camp North End nearby with its great food and drinks is a fantastic bonus. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for comfort, style, and convenience in Charlotte for short, mid or long stay.

Thank you so much Udo!! We cannot recommend this place enough. It was so wonderful and cozy. The location was perfect, so nice and walkable. Udo was so helpful and the best host.

Loved the 2nd Street Inn. It was a unique building, and very comfortable accommodation. Just what we were looking for. It was easy to walk to restaurants and breweries.

Simon and Julia are super helpful and kind. The place was just as expected, kitchen was fully equipped, everything was clean - and beautiful views. You can hear the neighbors pretty clear upstairs - but you can’t do much about that - plus it was disclosed in the listing. So overall I give 5 stars to Julia and Simon because THEY were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING - super responsive, I will definitely be returning ❤️ p.s. my bro forgot his wallet in the bnb after we checked out and there was absolutely no issue going back to find it - they are a delightful couple.

Whitney was very personable, couldn’t figure out the gate and she took a personal call without hesitation to help. So close to all the great places in town.we will be back.

Kyle was helpful and responsive. The place was very clean and the decorations were beautiful. My friend and I had a girl’s weekend and wanted different rooms (because we like to sleep in opposite temperature) and this fit us perfectly. We each had our own bathroom and the beds were very comfy. It was nice to have a kitchen and laundry option too. The directions were easy and Banner Elk is a 5 minute walk. The best part was the 180 degree view! I miss it already and didn’t want to leave! There were deer outside our window both days so that was a bonus. We would stay here again for sure!

I really enjoyed my stay. The view of Grandfather Mountain was beautiful and peaceful. The thoughtful decor of the condo felt welcoming and modern. The location is great as a base for hiking and outdoor activities in the surrounding area. Downtown Boone is about 15-20 minutes away, which has cute stores and some good restaurants. I liked Kimberly and Lauren’s food recommendations of The Cardinal and Lost Province.

This place is in a beautiful area. It's private and quiet surrounded by nature's wonder. Every morning I woke up to a beautiful sunrise on the balcony with my coffee listening to the birds sing. I slept on the sofa bed facing the balcony and it was comfortable. My kids enjoyed the bed in the bedroom. We made breakfast and dinner and enjoyed how comfortable and cozy the ambiance felt in this condo. I took morning walks nearby. Otter falls is nearby and you can hear the creek from the balcony. The condo was very clean and had the basic necessities for our weekend stay. Definitely coming back again.

Outstanding location and quality apartment. Josh was so helpful both before arrival and during stay.

Our stay at Dean’s perfect home away from home was absolutely incredible!! The view from each room was breathtaking. The furniture and decor were impeccable. The beds were so comfortable!! We will be back!!

This was the perfect getaway we were looking for. The owners did an absolutely great job at providing clear and precise details on how to get to the unit. Additionally, it was helpful that they mentioned that there was no AC so that we could bring our own fans with us. The location had a beautiful scenery in the morning. Also, there was even some wildlife that we spotted from the porch during our morning coffee. The little touches of coffee being provided and dog toys for our Happy boy was very sweet. We would definitely stay here again
