Perfect for viewing the stars or summer firefly shows! A spot to truly enjoy the great outdoors. Enjoy this private mountain location from the 2-person hammock in the front yard or the ample deck seating. Plentiful hiking and other outdoor activities nearby - the property backs right up to the National Park Service & the Blue Ridge Parkway!

Only 5 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and Highway 421. Only 15 minutes from Boone, Soggy Bottom tubing and kayak rentals, and Rocky Knob Mountain Bike Park. 30 minutes from Blowing Rock, Appalachian Ski Mountain, and Tweetsie Railroad.

Amazing views!
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!

Family Tubing 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!

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.

Great Weekend Getaway
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!

Thanksgiving Getaway to the mountains
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!

Perfect remote getaway
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!

Great house-access somewhat challenging
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.

Wonderful weekend
I met several college girlfriends for a rendezvous weekend at Hickory Lodge. The cabin was clean and comfortable. We especially enjoyed watching the sunsets on the front porch. The location was remote, and the road was rather narrow and steep for us city folks, but the destination was worth it.

Great Mountain Getaway!
Awesome place to stay for a long weekend. Only 10 minutes to Boone, even closer to a grocery store. It was a perfect jumping off point for hiking, rafting, and sightseeing. Our dogs loved the place as did our family. Aubrey is an excellent host and the house is delightful. Trust her when she says you need all wheel drive. Driveway is steep but still did it with a Honda CRV. Recommend this place for anyone interested in disconnecting from email and spending time with family.

Quiet, secluded
Sweet, older cabin with a great view from the super front porch. This property was the best equipped of our prior rentals. There were even supplies to prepare and enjoy s’mores by the backyard fire pit. We were in the area to attend a bluegrass festival and plan to rent it again next year for the festival weekend.

Absolutely amazing!
Aubrey was the best host! Her property was the perfect place for our spring break vacation and offered more than we could have ever hoped for! She is extremely responsive to messages and so super helpful and kind. We also loved being able to bring our pets as they are a part of the family. This property was so accommodating and beautiful and in just the perfect location. I highly recommend staying here! Bring an suv to make it up there; we had one 4wd and a jeep Cherokee and made it up just fine. Can’t wait to come again!

Great location and beautiful views!
Loved the location of the property and the amazing views from the front deck. The drive up is a bit steep but manageable. The house was very comfortable with everything you could need as far as kitchen and linens, and plenty of space. My only complain would be that the inside of the fridge was a bit dirty and with some leftover food, but other than everything else was pretty clean. We enjoyed our stay and will be back!

Nice view
The house was well stocked with most everything. Fire wood for outside and a sled for the snow was fun! Plenty of room for us. Lots of land to walk and a nice view from the front porch. Host was available for questions and responded quickly. Just fyi: if you are coming at night it is very dark. There were no outside lights on when we arrived making it difficult to get in since there was snow covering the path to the front door. After we found the light switch in the basement we were fine.

Beautiful top of the mountain cozy house!
We had a great stay during Christmas week in this beautiful and cozy top of the mountain house. Amazing scenery, great location just minutes away from Boone and Blowing Rock. The hostess was very attentive to every detail, the house was very clean and had everything we need it. We enjoyed so much with our children and our puppy who had so much fun in the forest. Definitely we will stay again in this beautiful and cozy house.
