Villas in Hickory County

"An Absolute 10/10 Lake House ExperienceIf you’re searching for the perfect lakeside vacation rental, stop here — Porto Cima is it. From the moment we arrived, we were completely blown away by the property. The views of the lake are nothing short of stunning, the kind you just stand and stare at because you can’t believe it’s real.The game room was a total highlight — massive, well-equipped, and honestly kept our entire group entertained for the whole stay. Whether it was raining or we just wanted to stay in and have fun, that room delivered every single time.The kitchen was a dream to cook in. Fully stocked with every utensil and tool you could possibly need, thoughtfully organized, and completely ready to go. We didn’t have to run to the store for a single thing.Sleeping arrangements were top-notch — comfortable beds that actually gave us a great night’s rest, which can be hard to find in a rental.And then there’s the lake itself. On the nice weather days, we were able to rent the boat right from the property and take it out on the water. That experience alone made the trip unforgettable. Waking up to that lake view every morning felt like a luxury we didn’t want to leave.Porto Cima checks every single box: location, amenities, comfort, and that wow factor that makes you immediately start planning your return trip. Highly, highly recommend to anyone looking for a lakeside getaway that truly delivers on every promise. We’ll absolutely be back. "

"We were on a ladies golf trip and stayed at the property. What a beautiful place prettier than any of the pictures. Very convenient to the courses we played. We enjoyed all the amenities of the house. Will book again when back in the area."

"My family and I had a wonderful trip. Couldn’t have asked for a better location, we spent a lot of time on the dock and kayaking. We also played connect 4, ping pong, and the arcade games in the community building. My husband read on the deck with the beautiful lake view. My family and I had a perfect trip here."

"This place was perfect! Mark is an exceptional host, and his communication is above and beyond. We will recommend this cozy home-like spot to anyone. Our stay was simple, and exactly the right kind unplugging we needed -- also, we will be returning on a yearly basis. All I can say is thank you to our wonderful host, and I wish you many more years of operations."

"Air worked well was good for one night but wouldn't stay multiple everything was cleanish but their was stuff on the bathroom wall behind the door also a cigarette burn on the duvet on one of the beds. Other than that was an okay motel. Did not eat the breakfast can't comment on that."

"Staff was great. Clean well maintained. Breakfast was good"

"We needed a one night stay on the way to our vacation destination. This place was perfect! Extremely comfortable and clean. Would definitely stay again."

"We took our niece (14) and nephew (11) on a spring break trip as their Christmas gift. The resort had everything we were looking for. We rented a 3 bedroom cabin with a 4th bed in the pull out couch. The cabin was clean, had a full-sized refrigerator and stove/oven for cooking, plenty of seating in the living space for the 4 of us, and had a great view of the water. We sat on the porch and watched the sun set over the water. It turned out to be 95 deg while we were there, but the cabin had air conditioning that worked well. The fire pit was supplied with wood so we were able to grill hot dogs and makes s'mores. The Wi-Fi worked well. It was the first week open for the season, so it wasn't busy like I'm sure it is once summer comes. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay there again. The resort is a few miles from town and restaurants, but we bought groceries for our stay before we got to the resort and cooked simple meals instead of driving into town to eat out."

"Staff was wonderful! Nice room. "
