Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Alexander County

Perfect home on the lake for us while in town for a long weekend! We will book again next time we are in Hickory!

I am a travel nurse working a long contract and have stayed here for several months. Patsy and her husband are great hosts, super friendly, easy to contact with a quick response, and always willing to help with anything as I also work long overnight shifts. It is a very quiet location and very convenient to work. There are a lot of things to do and see not far away in surrounding towns. I would highly recommend staying here and would stay again.

Perfect place for my family and I to stay to visit my sister and her family. Very clean house comfortable beds and a great kitchen. Will definitely stay here again when I come to visit my sister.

This place was very well-appointed. It was inviting, relaxing, had beautiful surroundings, and was the perfect place for an extended family gathering. It fit all of our needs!

I have stayed in a significant number of AirBnB properties and I cannot say enough wonderful things about this one! It is beautifully decorated, comfy, and quiet. Thank you for including things that most properties don’t include such as food wrap, plastic containers, tape, and scissors! I can tell that the owners are detail oriented! The coffee station is great! I loved the cookbooks! I will be back!

This home is one of the best we have ever stayed at. It is beautiful, well appointed and perfect in every way. So quiet and peaceful yet close to shopping and great restaurants. Easy ride to Blowing Rock and Boone. Sit on the back porch for morning coffee and enjoy the sunrise and the front porch for evening sunsets. We appreciate Amanda sharing her home. It was the perfect setting for our family visit. We will be booking this home again when we are in the Hickory area. Thank you Amanda for your hospitality.

A great house with a beautiful view! We couldn’t have stayed at a better place to see our nephew play baseball for the Hickory Crawdads. The drive to the stadium was a quick one. Relaxing on the dock, kayaking and enjoying the fire pit made this even better. The main family and kitchen area with windows to the lake view is a perfect place to gather too. Owners are very responsive! We loved it and would stay again.

I have to say we travel cross country and have been staying in cabins and homes for years, this is one of the best! I could live in this home, it's perfect, everything was immaculate. Fully equipped kitchen that had everything you need. The view is beautiful on the lake, its a quiet off shoot of Lake Hickory a few boats and jet ski traffic but extremely quiet. The master bedroom is extremely large with a huge bathroom and walk in shower, there is also a large 2nd bedroom with attached full bath plus a half bath off of great room area. Hosts both Wendy and Tina are the best! when we arrived I messaged Wendy if there was a Kurig, wasn't a show stopper for us there were 2 drip machines, a while later Wendy stopped by to make sure everything was OK and found the Kurig for me. Tina also responded immediately about a check out question I had, Perfect Customer Service! We had a wonderful stay here and will definitely return again, next time for longer.

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.

We really enjoyed our stay at Lakefront Serenity. The view was beautiful, house cozy, and loved the friendly cats! ❤️ We felt right at home and had everything we needed. The pedal boat was fun, too.

Skylar’s place was just what I needed for my stay. As soon as I walked in, I was shocked at how big the space actually was. The bathroom was bigger than I expected and all the amenities were truly useful. Had a great stay at Skylar’s, will definitely be staying again.

I had a lovely stay at this Airbnb! The place was nice and cozy—just what I needed for a relaxing trip. Everything was clean and well taken care of, and the atmosphere felt very welcoming. The host was friendly and responsive, which made the experience even better. I’d definitely stay here again!

Our stay here was Awesome! It's exactly what we needed. The space was lovely, beautiful, and very peaceful. I was in town handling some stressful business and I was able to escape into an oasis at Jaime's house. Thank you so much for being accommodating to me and my family.

Diane was extremely understanding and easy to work with, you can't ask for a better place to stay in the area with room to sleep 4. Note there is a half bath/laundry room and 2 couches on the first floor. The rest is on a second floor of this duplex.

A charming private space in a nice area of Hickory, convenient to everything. We would stay again!

Small cozy location that was very clean and comfortable. Had everything you would need for a great stay. Easy to find from the road. Would stay again.

Very secluded beautiful spot for those who are looking for good vibes and a break from everyday reality.

This place worked perfect for what we needed. Loved it!

Great vacation rental, perfect for a mountain vacation. Amazing Views and location!

Initially, we were disappointed that the two single beds were in the living room (my fault for not reading the description carefully) and that we'd have to go through the bedroom to get to the bathroom, but by the second night, we were used to it. We loved having breakfast on the patio. It was so quiet and peaceful, and the view was delightful. Being able to partake in the Art of Living grounds was a definite plus. The trails were fun, and the view from the dining hall was stunning. We enjoyed our visit.

If you stay somewhere three nights and as you're packing to return to life in the real world and you have the thought, "I should make staying here an annual tradition" - there's really not much else to add by way of endorsement or review. 🙂

Another Great experience at Amal’s place.
