Don't trust the pictures
The property was not cleaned until 3 hours after our arrival from the previous guest! We had to clean the back patio & boat / fishing dock for us to wait on until the cleaning was done. Air filter & vent had not been changed or cleaned in awhile, trash outside in the back, boat dock taken over by cob webs, no working front porch light, & the front entry had been neglected from being cleaned for sometime. The kitchen drawers were almost inoperable, dirty dishes in them & the cabinets, stove was so dirty we chose not to use it, only the 2 small burners worked on the stove, & the fridge had to be wiped out before stocking w/ our groceries. A note on the fridge stated we would be charged for any service call so we dealt w/ only having the 2 burners! Mattress covers were soiled & per the PM there were no extras so we had to wash them ourselves. All the furniture had not been dusted & wasn't addressed when I had pointed it out to the PM. Pictures are deceiving! The property is not kept up or has sufficient cleanings. Owner never followed up after our initial call about the uncleaned property nor responded to my text. We bought cleansers to wash linens & to clean a bathroom to use while waiting for the cleaning crew. There are much nicer properties on the lake for the same rate or cheaper. Don't waste your $!

FIRST FAMILY VACATION
THIS IS A WONDERFUL HOME TO HAVE A LARGE FAMILY VACATION. THERE WERE PLENTY ENOUGH BEDS AND ROOM FOR ALL OF US TO SLEEP. WE HAD A PONTOON BOAT AND A SKI BOAT BOTH FIT PERFECTLY AT THE DOCK, THE PRIVATE BIOAT LAUNCH WAS A BIG PLUS FOR US. THE DECK WAS PLENTY BIG ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE TO SIT TALK AND ENJOY, THERE WERE FANS ON THE DECK TO HELP WITH THE HEAT A FIRE PIT WITH PLENTY OF ROOM FOR ALL OF US, AND A LARGE BACK PORCH WITH A LARGE FAN. OVERALL THIS IS A WONDERFUL PLACE TO VACATION. WE WILL MAKE THIS A YEARLY VACATION SPOT. THE LAKE WAS NOT OVERCROWDED EITHER. ONLY TWO THINGS ARE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR CLEANING SUPPLIES BECAUSE THERE ARE NONE PROVIDED AND MAKE SURE YOU BRING FANS BECAUSE THE AC CAN NOT KEEP UP DURING THE DAY. ONCE THE SUN GOES DOWN IT GETS BETTER, ALL THE BEAUTIFUL WINDOWS IN THIS HOME BRING IN SOME HEAT.

Camp with a great view!!!
My family had a great stay. We had a small issue but owner and property manager were quick to respond. The back porch and the bunk room were a huge bonus since we had rainy weather during our stay. The property was the perfect fit and we would definitely consider staying again.

Ultimate family getaway
Hickory Ridge hideaway was the perfect place for our families 4th of July getaway (6 adults and 7 children). It was very clean. The bunk/game room was a hit for the kids. The location is perfectly placed, right on the mid lake area. Only 5 minutes to the grocery and bait store. The best part was the boat dock and the seating area over the water. The kitchen and dining areas were sufficient with plenty of space. Also the back deck was perfect to sit and relax with a nice cooling fan through an afternoon thunderstorm. I give this place a 9.5/10. The only complaint we had was how warm it was inside at night with the a/c struggling with the July heat but box fans helped until the unit was able to catch up. I would recomend this place to anyone especially families with kids.

somewhat disappointing
Yes the property has been remodeled. But frustrating because you can't see the small stuff online and in the end the fancy new bathroom doesn't matter!!!!!! As you enter the front door the front area was full of dirt. I immediately swept so that we didn't bring it in the house. It was quite warm in the house. It took a long time to cool off, usually by the morning it was cool. Thank goodness they had box fans hanging around. Yes, they had a pool table but not all the balls - go figure. The grass needed to be cut and the dock was old and dirty - a little pressure washing would have helped. broken boards on pier. there were chimney swifts in the chimney- a bit noisey at times. Some of the rooms could use a good dusting. One bedroom needs a new bed!! The squeaking as you roll over was quite loud. Dirty dirty ac filter. No glasses to drink out of just coffee mugs and a few cheap plastic wine glasses. The master bathroom is an add on and no ventilation or a/c vents. It is a hot box. I hate to say lipstick on a pig but truly, if you are going to spend the money to fix it up inside maybe do so on the outside as well. It is a lake house, you want to be outside.Looked like no one cares and although hot, we came for the lake and to be outside. SO. somewhat disappointing and very confused now that I have read all the reviews. Not sure about the 10/10 and excellent. Makes me wonder about authenticity.

Weekend getaway
Property was recently renovated very clean. Nice up-to-date. It was a very chilly weekend, so really just chilled inside, our son and daughter in law braved the chilly weather and tried to fish off boat house, but no luck. We truly enjoyed the view. Definitely plan on going back late spring early summer. Would love to take grandchildren there.

Horrible
Pictures aren’t what appears in person. Place was not clean. There was holes in walls. Poor insulation in place due to not cooling off the whole house well. We was there for 4 hours and stayed at 78-80. Game room was a hot box. Owner was ugly about me calling to complain about how hot it was. And asked if I could wait 45 more min to call an AC man since it would cost her $250 to send someone out there. Didn’t want to chance that so I ended up staying somewhere else since I had two newborns that was staying in there. So we left and I would like my refund back since we didn’t stay there.

Back to school get away
The cabin is big and can accomodate large family. The location on lake is good and dock is nice. The grass had not been cut and there was trash in the yard. The inside had not been dusted is a very long time. Very thick dust on everything. Sticky kitchen floor. Dead crickets on deck, cigarette butts not emptied on porch, filthy bbq putts. It really needs a good cleaning top to bottom, inside and out!! Beds had clean sheets!!! We go to the lake often and would stay here if it were cleaned up!

Close to Toledo Town, the property was very much outdated but it worked for what we used it for. Be careful on the back steps, very steep, spider webs all over the back deck. The pier on the water could use a serious pressure wash. The webs were everywhere; I can expect a little from the lake but you had to wipe off all furniture before using. Enjoyed the lounging around. Will stay there again...
