Great Stay!
We needed a rental to accommodate our off-road race team for an event, and the setup was perfect for what the guys needed. They were able to spread out, cook meals and relax between race days. The house was comfortable, very clean, and we wouldn't hesitate to stay again when back in the area. Highly recommend!

Family Fun & Day Unforgettable Memories
We absolutely loved this property and made family memories that will last forever. Where To begin… after our first night, everyone woke up saying it was the best night of sleep and the beds were so comfy. Location location location…. While you only have a peek-a-boo view of the lake, the walk down to the dock is easy and beautifully special. The privacy and seclusion and beauty of the natural environment is so peaceful and relaxing (in the sun as well as rain). The canoe was super fun too! We had 10 people in our group and loved the room set ups - totally worked for us!! We had several family members in town for our moms 90th Bday (all of whom had various extra fancy lake front rentals but it was Whispering Pines where we came together for an incredible afternoon BBQ (four generations ages 1 to 90). The laughter and joy experienced by all was incredible - the outside layout is just as awesome as inside. The property is unique with lots of Character and charm. The kids especially loved hanging out and playing at our property - we are outdoorsy kind of peeps so Whispering Pines suited us perfectly. The host was super Fantastic! Can’t wait to come back - it will be our forever spot when in Hickory.

Remodeled trailer house with lake access .
Pictures of the property look better than reality. It is remodeled trailer house with all that it comes: 7ft ceiling, poor airflow in the bedrooms , poor water pressure in the bathrooms. Super clean surfaces! Not sure why house was full of fruit flies . The nest was in the pipes of dishwasher. We tried to make a dent in population and it was a war zone for two days stay .Good kitchen and nice TV room. You need to walk downhill to the water and uphill back . Property has limited access to the lake so don’t picture yourself swimming in the lake . We will not be back . Ever ! Just not for us .

Nice time with family.
Very clean and well maintained home. The ad gave the impression (to us anyway) that the lake was adjacent to the house, but it was actually a walk down a trail. Not too far or inconvenient. Trail to lake and outdoors could use some grooming, but again not a hindrance to a good time. Price is right. We enjoyed ourselves and would use again.

Beautiful lake
We enjoyed our stay at Freddy's property. The property was spotless and well appointed. There was ample bedding and bathrooms, as well as dining space. We took advantage of the boat rental for 6 days and so glad we did! It's a bit of a hike down to the boat dock (back up is worse ;) ), but well worth it. Lake Hickory is beautiful and peaceful. We had a little issue with the thermostat continuing to reset at a higher temp than we would have liked, but it was manageable. Freddy was responsive and very easy to work with. The only suggestion I would make is to have some sort of a nightstand and possibly a small dresser in the large bedroom that houses 2 king beds. We had to use a dining room table as a nightstand. All in all, it was a great stay!

Super Clean, Quiet Wonderful Place!
This place was a charming sanctuary and a great stay. First of all, I will say that I am a bit of a clean freak when it comes to hotels and vacation rentals. But this place exceeded all expectations with impeccable cleanliness and thoughtful set up. Laterally I have stayed in world class luxury hotels that could take some lessons from how clean this home was. The home is tucked into this quite little spot that really feels like a sanctuary. There is nice outside space and the home itself is well appointed. The property manager was responsive to request and super nice to work with. All in, one of my best stay experiences anywhere. THANKS!

Thanksgiving 2022
Property was as advertised. House was very clean. Kitchen is well stocked. We cooked our Thanksgiving dinner without any issues, I would suggest you bring storage bowls for left overs and prep, besides that there is a good collection of pots, pans, blender to use. We had 6 adults and two children stay with us and my daughter (and family) and son who live in the area came to hang out with us. We did did not feel crammed. We enjoyed the yard, firepit and the dock area. Owner responded in a timely manner to our questions. Definitely a great place to rent.
