Exceptional Home - Exceptional Rates - Exceptional Mountain Views!

WELCOME TO THE NEWLY RENOVATED HICKORY NUT LODGE! Spectacular mountain views straight up the Hickory Nut Gorge are yours from the windows and decks of HICKORY NUT LODGE. You will not believe your eyes as you enjoy phenomenal 180 degree mountain views all year long. The spring and fall colors are fantastic as life returns to the mountains in the spring and the rich colors of fall take hold towards the end of the year. Any time is a good time to visit Hickory Nut Lodge. The home itself is richly appointed with a fully equipped kitchen with a gas stove and a large live edge walnut dining table on the main level. The main level features two ensuite bedrooms each with a queen size bed and private bathroom. The main level is anchored by a floor to ceiling stone wall featuring a large flat screen television and a linear fireplace. The main level can be accessed from an enclosed two-car garage. The second level of the home has a huge master bedroom with a large walk in shower and jacuzzi tub along with a very spacious walk-in closet. Outside the master bedroom is a family room with a gas log fireplace, leather double recliner and another flat screen television so you and your guests are able to enjoy two separate and very comfortable viewing areas. Are you bringing a few extra kids? The second level also has its own kid's room with a bunk bed featuring one full and one twin sized bunk. They'll love having their own private area. Finally, the third level has a very large game room area complete with an air hockey table, a very solid and sturdy foosball table, and a very nice professional poker table. While playing the games you'll be treated to another gas log fireplace to maintain both your warmth and the mountain mood. Of course you and your guests will want to spend some time outside on the decks. The expansive main level covered deck features a gas fire table surrounded by Adirondack chairs, a dining table and chairs, gas grille for cooking as well as other comfortable seating. So pop the cork on your favorite bottle of wine and enjoy the good life here in the mountains of Lake Lure. Grill up your favorite foods and enjoy unbelievable mountain views just down the street from all that Lake Lure has to offer. Book early because anyone who stays in this beautiful home will book quickly for next year!

We had a great stay at the Hickory Nut Lodge. The views of the valley and Chimney Rock are beautiful. The house is very comfortable and well equipped. Dining and shopping were close by and the game room was a plus.

Outstanding Mountain View
Hickory Nut Lodge has an outstanding mountain view. The house is beautifully decorated, very clean, fully functioning kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. It's located in a quiet neighborhood, yet only 5 minutes from beautiful Lake Lure. Would love to stay here again.

Hickory Nut Lodge - A Great Place to Stay
Fantastic home! There are 3 floors, with relaxing areas on each floor. Plenty of room for everyone. The game room on the lowest level made evenings very enjoyable, whether playing cards or foosball. The view is absolutely breathtaking from the two upper floors and it's so quiet outside. When we return to Lake Lure, we will check a date so we stay at the Hickory Nut Lodge.

This place is absolutely perfect. The view, kitchen accessories, game room and everything about it. Super clean and beautifully well kept. The daily hummingbird show was a plus along with the cardinals and yellow finches. Spent our 41 anniversary and it couldn't have been any better.

Jaw dropping scenery!
We opened the front door and there was a collective gasp. We have stayed in MANY mountain houses and have never had such a view. The house made visiting easier….gates and fun times on the lower level and the older set upstairs. We had a week’s stay there and it was wonderful.
