About this property

The Pond House. This wilderness rich gem is close to Hickory!

  • Talk about unique... a 1 acre pond is feet away and full of fish. A tandem kayak is available however there is no swimming allowed. Plenty of visiting birds, squirrels and other animals may say hello. Cozy house with a full kitchen and peaceful covered front porch to chill on. Gas grill out there as well. Feel like your in the mountains while still a short 10 minute drive from Hickory. Come see the Pond House!

The property is absolutely beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the porch, listening to the fountain in the middle of the pond and watching the blue heron every morning. I loved it there and would love to go back soon! It is very convenient to many things and it’s very quiet.

Cozy and comfy yet modern

This is the cutest little house. Everything is updated and clean. We needed a quick trip close to Hickory - we loved this place. I wish this place was closer to our home town. This is a perfect getaway escape.

The pond house

The pond house is in a wonderful location to enjoy a little seclusion. The pond is full of fish that will literally follow you around waiting to be fed. The home has all the basic needs and everything works as it should. We enjoyed our stay and communication with Joey was quick and easy.

Relaxing

We were very happy. It is a cute little house and very spacious the way it is layed out. It was clean, the bed was comfortable. My husbands favorite part was the pond, he loves fishing and he was able to walk right out the door and do so. I enjoyed sitting outside at night and listening to the bullfrogs

Pond House

Very nice. Interior completely up to date and very clean. Outside still needs some landscaping but pond view/access was great. We needed to do some minor housekeeping upon arrival ( empty dishwasher) and a few cooking items were missing. I bought measuring cups and spoons- just small things. Manager was very responsive to anything we asked about. Overall very comfortable and nice.
