Our entire stay from start to finish was great. The house was stocked with everything you could possible need. It has 3 floors, and all three were white socks clean. Firewood was fully stocked on the front porch. The circular drive made entry and exit from the house quick and easy (no turning around to exit). The pool table was fun and all the TV's made watching the Masters a breeze. Our host Brooke, was easy to contact both prior to and during our stay, and quickly responded to any question or request. A very enjoyable stay that was conveniently located.
The house is welcoming and comfy from the first steps of the front porch. The furniture and decor is wonderful. The beds are dreamy. All too of line bedding, sheets and towels. My family and I quickly left the city stress behind. The kitchen is a dream and the back porch fire place and TV nice touch.
We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful, clean and very well appointed home. The owner was very communicative and made everything so easy. We cannot wait to stay again.

Thank you, Beverly! We're so glad you had a nice time. We hope you'll come again! :)
Beautiful house with lots of comfortable space to hang out with the family. We especially loved the large balcony and downstairs pool table.
Great host, very responsive and accommodating.
We enjoyed a long fall weekend with our family at Sweet Hickory. Everyone had plenty of room and the outdoor deck with fireplace was an awesome spot to spend time together. The property is easy to get to and had plenty of parking space. The host was very communicative.
We loved the location of the house and the decor/furniture made it so cozy. We spent way more time in the house than out and about, because we enjoyed hanging out there so much

Thank you, Melanie! We're so glad you had (another) great trip! Looking forward to next time! :)
This home is comfortable and very well appointed. The covered porch with a fireplace and a tv was our favorite sitting spot. We ventured to Cashiers and Highlands nearby.

Our family and friends loved this home as much as we do. Easily accommodated the 8 adults in our group. The management company responded quickly to a small plumbing issue and to our request for additional firewood. Would highly recommend this property!
We had such a lovely time. The house was perfect and fit our need’s perfect. The outdoor fireplace was so relaxing. We stayed outside most of the time.
