We were very happy with our stay. The communication from beginning to end was absolutely amazing. The cottage was clean and inviting. The back yard made it a great place for our dog to play and hang out. Very comfortable and peaceful setting. Great neighborhood and friendly neighbors! Zero complaints! So glad we found this cottage for our stay. Would definitely book it again if we get up to Hickory again. Thanks!

Southern Charm

Really nothing special. Furniture in back was thrown all around. Nothing was set up. Dirty ashtrays sitting on tables in back and front of home. Ants in bathroom. It wasn’t as pleasant as we thought it would be. Some of the towels looked dirty etc. very surprising.

explored Hickory

The house was perfectly situated for me to explore areas in and around Hickory. Quick and easy 5 minute drive to Hickory Lake Park to walk my dog and ride my bike on the off-road trails. 20 minute drive to Bakers Park and Riverbend Park for more trail walking. House was pleasantly cooled with a/c, ceiling fans above the bed, and the mattress comfortable provided for a great nights sleep.

Perfect Location

Everything was terrific for our stay! We spent a few nights here while my Lenoir-Rhyne student son recovered from a surgery. It was the perfect place for our needs; comfortable, very quiet and very close to the University, hospitals and all amenities. The neighborhood is lovely, and you’ll spot lots of friendly walkers, runners and dog-walkers. I 100% recommend this home!

Visit college daughter

My father and I and my dog stayed at the cottage to visit my daughter who attends LR for a track meet. The beds were super comfy. My dog loved the yard to play frisbee and round around. The neighborhood is very relaxed and safe even when walking late at night. Definitely would stay again. Thank you John M Chuluota,Fl
