Love the idea of lake living? Or are you looking for a place to work remotely for a week or two….or even a month? The Lake Hickory Cottage is perfect for you!

You’ll love the neutral decor and the inside is fully equipped. The kitchen includes a burner stove, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, coffee pot, pots/pans and all kitchen utensils. The oak dining room set seats 6 comfortably. There is also a cot and a pack-and-play available for additional sleepers. Also included are bedding, linens and pillows, bath towels, heat and A/C, wifi, a Roku enabled TV, and laundry facilities.

Outside the back door facing the lake you can relax on one of 4 large rocking chairs enjoying sunrises over the water; relax in the hammock at the water’s edge while reading a book; or have coffee at the picnic table on the covered porch.

You can take a swim off the dock to cool off; go fishing in this fisherman’s paradise where you’ll find bass, crappie, catfish, striper and bluegill, or hop on a kayak which are available for your use. Whether it's summer, spring or fall, you can always end your day around the fire pit under the moonlight roasting s'mores and sharing your adventures from the day.

When renting our Lake Hickory cottage you’ll have exclusive access to the water on 2 sides of the cottage as it sits on a small peninsula.

The Lake Hickory Cottage sleeps 6 people, but note that 4 of those sleeping spots are on bunk beds! This house is ideal for families, and some of our best days of the year are when we are here relaxing with our four sons.

There are groceries within 15 minutes, with Walmart offering grocery delivery so you never even have to leave. The Farmers Daughter is great for local produce and only about 5 minutes away. If you drive 20 minutes into Hickory, you will find many of the major grocery chains and is full of a variety of restaurants, shops, coffee bars and art galleries. You can even catch a yoga or fitness class.

Guest Access

We are unable to offer early check-in or late check-out. Our cleaning crew truly needs every minute between guests, so the absolute earliest you can access the property is 4 pm and check out is no later than 10 am. We appreciate your understanding.

Water activities of any kind after dark are strictly prohibited.

Fishing is allowed from the docks on the bank of the property. While we have fishing rods on the porch, we cannot guarantee that they're in good working order with heavy guest use so we'd recommend bringing your own equipment if your heart is set on fishing.
