Wonderful Stay

We enjoyed our stay here. We usually don’t book the same location twice but loved the place so much we already booked it again for later this year. Highly recommend!

Perfect Retreat

We love Lake Hickory and love staying at properties owned by Travis & Lesa Roffler. The properties are always well equipped, super clean, and have comfortable beds. They are also super responsive to questions and concerns.

Peaceful Christmas on the lake!

We enjoyed spending the week of Christmas at Heavenly Harbor and we didn’t regret our choice! Everything was as listed but even better in person. The owners were so helpful & responsive before and during our stay and we also appreciated the house being decorated for Christmas and the many personal touches left for us when we arrived. We fished the lake and caught a few spotted bass and enjoyed the cozy fireplace inside to warm up. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks for sharing your beautiful lake house!

Perfect home for our family

We had the most amazing time at the Lake House. It was clean, a perfect size for our teens to have their own space, the hosts where fast to communicate with me if I asked any questions and the outside decks and lake where beautiful! It was the best vacation we have had in a long time and would definitely come back.

Lovely Lakefront!

The lake house was very clean and stocked with everything we needed for the weekend. So many amazing outdoor decks and sitting areas to enjoy the view - even a nice little fire pit. The kayaks were a nice bonus as well. We hope to be back again!

Lake weekend

It was everything they said and more. Big oak tree in the back gives plenty of shade if wanted. Marina is just across the lake and boat ramp close as well.

Wonderful fall vacation

This was our first time spending a week at the lake for vacation and having this property made it perfect. We loved the easy access to the lake and the close proximity to wonderful hiking in the Blowing Rock area. The rental was super clean and had all the comforts of home. Travis and Lesa thought of every detail and provided everything needed for a wonderful trip. Their communication was always on point and we appreciated all the restaurant recommendations. Would definitely stay here again!

Short stay but great time !

First time renting lake house. Wanted some quality family time together with nice setting and something to do together. Got all we wanted with this house, it's owners and available options to enjoy life's pleasures. Spent day on lake with pontoon rental (highly recommended from Lakeside Marina). Hiked at Rocky Face Mountain park and visited Shadow Line Vineyards.

Definitely Coming Back

This was a great house with great owners. They communicated with us about the property and gave recommendations for the area. The property was clean and spacious and had everything we needed to enjoy time on the lake. Located in a quiet cove, we fished and floated to our heart's content. We rented a boat from a Lakeside Marina twice and enjoyed time out on the lake. We ventured into town for dinner and had dinner lakeside one night. We have already planned our return trip and can't wait to visit Lake Hickory again.

Labor Day Staycation

This VRBO experience was hands down the best one ever! The house itself is beautiful! You can tell there has been so much thought and love put into this home! The owners are so helpful and accommodating. I love how they allow you to have additional guest during the day. This was truly one of my family’s favorite trips we’ve ever taken. Our kids (12 and 17) didn’t want to leave! With the property only 30 minutes from our home, I know we’ll be booking again! Thank you again for sharing your beautiful lake home with us ❤️

Lake House

Great location with nice views. Nice house, just wish the listing would have mentioned the all of the stairs. A member of our family has a mobility problem so the need to go down a flight of stairs to get into the house was a surprise. Based on the pictures it looked like the driveway went to the front door. We saw it was a common situation in the area, I don't think it was being hidden, but I think that listing in general should state if there are accessible issues.

Excellent! Will return!

The owners were great to work with and always quick to respond. This was by far the cleanest VRBO we have ever rented. The house looks just like the pictures. The decks and the dock are very nice. We had fun kayaking. We took our 2 dogs and they loved playing in the water! If your traveling with elderly or handicapped there is a lot of stairs but we knew that before we rented. There are several “rainy day” activities within 20 minutes. By looking at the pictures the living room looks tiny, it isn’t huge but it adequately fit the 5 of us (all adults). Wi-Fi worked great. The whole house had been remodeled and was very nicely done. Very comfortable and homey. The weather was amazing. It was quiet and relaxing. The lake didn’t have much traffic for spring break. Would be great for kids too. We can’t wait to go back!

We Are Now A Lake Family

Heavenly Harbor is, to put it mildly, Totally Awesome. Our family has vacationed at the ocean for the last 20 years, but now that we are dispersed across VA, NC and TN, we decided to try something more central to us all. Somehow we fell upon Travis and Lesa's beautiful lake house. After the week, we are now a Lake Family! The house had everything we needed. Obviously, we packed way too much and brought a lot of our "beach stuff". We didn't need any of it. The kitchen was big and allow all of us all to be in there making our lunches. The family room seated 6 (plus 2 dogs) and the huge lake view window just made it feel huge. The TV allowed us to login to all of our streaming apps which made our millennials happy. Each bedroom was perfectly appointed and even though we didn't really use it, the basement bunk room is perfect for kids. But the real gem is the deck/dock the leads to the most relaxing place I've been in many years. The huge oak that shades most of the deck area makes this place just too perfect. The floating dock allowed us easy access the deep water where we just sat in our floating chairs for hours enjoying family and making memories. Although we still love the beach, we are already planning to come back next year. It was just too perfect. Don't miss out on this gem... just don't take our week.

Annual family/friends vacation

We had a great time at Heavenly Harbor! Nearly everything we needed was provided. The house was very clean and well kept. The dock area was our favorite part. Plenty of room to dock a boat and lounge in the water all afternoon! We enjoyed evenings relaxing on the deck or playing games inside. Lake Hickory is absolutely beautiful and a hidden gem. We can’t wait to come back next year!!

Beautiful Place

What can I say? This place was incredible. The multiple levels of outdoor space, the fantastic lake, the cleanliness of the house… all superb. We had 2 families with 5 kids total and there was always something different to do. The lot is steep, but the stairs are forgiving because of the staging of the landings. The kitchen is great and well stocked. The bedrooms are all nice and updated along with the rest of the place. Really couldn’t ask for more. We benefited from great weather too. I would totally go back.

Great stay

We have stayed at many properties on the beach and other lakes, but these owners by far were the best we have ever experienced. All we needed was food and vanilla. If there is any con about the property, the bunk room beds are definitely for young children . Otherwise perfect stay

Quite Comfy Lake House

We are six retired firemen that get together at least twice a year. We all worked together back in the day and still enjoy seeing each other catching up with our lives. One in our group was not able to make this trip. I have lived here in the area for 18 years and thought my fellow retirees would enjoy the area and time on the lake. This lake house turned out to be the perfect choice. It’s location on a quite cove was ideal for swimming, kayaking, and boating. The fire pit was a relaxing feature in the evening sharing old fire stories of past. The Lake House was clean and stood tall on our arrival. We immediately felt at home. The beds were comfortable. Kitchen very functional. All the comforts of home. The host’s made themselves available although we never had to reach out to them. We highly recommend staying here for all seasons. Hats off to Travis and Lesa. A Lake House well done!
