We have stayed at some amazing VRBO’s but this place is now at the top of our list. The photos alone make you want to stay here but seeing it in real life is even better. Saw deer and turkey cross the driveway every night. The owners did an incredible job building and furnishing this place!

This cottage is amazing. If you're into hiking and scenic views, this is the place for a couple to get away. The kitchen was well kept with plenty of tools for cooking. The cottage was beautiful and very serene. So many state parks nearby for hiking. We didn't even go into Greenville as there would've been huge crowds due to fall fest. 10 out of 10.

Perfect is an understatement, we loved the home!We were impressed as soon as we opened the front door. The home was beautifully decorated, super clean, and updated throughout as well as very comfortable. It has everything you could need, including dishes and cooking supplies. Being centrally located made it easy to visit sites that we wanted to see. Stacey's restaurant suggestions were spot on, enjoyed every dinner! After a day of site seeing, what a treat to return and enjoy a beverage on either porch. We would stay here again without hesitation!

Rented this amazingly beautiful cottage for a girls weekend with my mom. It is just as pictured. Beautifully decorated, clean and in peaceful setting but close enough to restaurants and various shopping if you want to venture out. Can’t say enough nice things about the hosts, Stacey & Kenny! We had car trouble upon arrival and Kenny got us up with a mechanic that had our vehicle repaired the very next day where the dealership told us it would be 10 days. Will definitely visit again!!!

I can only echo the previous reviewers in that this cottage is simply exceptional! This was our first visit to the Greenville area, and we can't wait to come back to stay at Hickory Cottage again soon, as it was located within 20 minutes of downtown Greenville. We hiked Table Rock/Stool Mountain (saw a black bear!) and visited Paris Mountain State Park. Both parks were super convenient to HIckory Cottage. Again, such a gorgeous property, and exactly like the photos. A wonderful long weekend!

We had an absolutely phenomenal stay at Stacey and Kenny's Vrbo! The home itself was even more stunning in person - every detail was thoughtfully curated, creating a cozy yet luxurious atmosphere. The home was equipped with everything we needed and more. The kitchen was a dream for cooking meals and the washer and dryer added such convenience to our stay. We especially loved the spa like bathroom and hanging out in the 3 season room to read and listen to the birds. The location was perfect, with easy access to downtown Greenville, other charming towns such as Greer and Travelers Rest and so many fantastic restaurants. Also nearby are Paris Mountain State Park and the Swamp Rabbit Trail, where we had some lovely hikes. Stacey and Kenny's Vrbo is a true gem, and we would love to return again in the future for another unforgettable stay!

Caught kissing on a Jumbo-tron and need to lay low for a while? This is the place to go. The photos and descriptions for this listing are super accurate, no surprises. The owners have poured their hearts into this place. It's super quite and a great place to relax and just enjoy your time away from home/work. The owners are great and easy to deal with. Looking forward to staying there again.

The Hickory Cottage was beautiful with so many thoughtful details. Tucked away in a wooded section of a very nice rural suburban neighborhood, the cottage was very private and surrounded by trees. The owners (Stacey and Kenny) provided everything we could have wanted for an amazing and relaxing stay. The home was immaculate and beautifully styled. The communication with the owners was easy and friendly. We can wholeheartedly recommend this property as your place to stay while in the Greenville, SC area.

Simply beautiful...I absolutely love coming back here. Stacey and Kenny are genuinely the best hosts! The cottage has everything you could want to make your stay here enjoyable. To the walk-in shower with it's spa like feel to the fully equipped kitchen. Everything is so clean and bright. I loved going out on the porch bed swings whether to catch up on some reading or just relax and listen to everything going on in the woods around me. I also enjoyed a fire since the evenings there recently turned cooler. It was nice to finally meet Dora and Squirt and see all the deer that visit from time to time. Thank you Stacey and Kenny for making my stay a memorable one. Looking forward to my next visit soon.

Hidden gem in idyllic setting

Hickory Cabin rivals any high-end boutique hotel with the benefit of feeling like being home. It’s beautifully decorated and has all the creature comforts including a well-stocked kictchen, comfortable bed, and spa-like bathroom. The exterior spaces and tranquil, wooden setting are perfect for relaxing and down-time. The home is convenient to the Upstate region for a local visit, or it serves a great get away. The hosts are delightful and even had the cabin beautifully decorated for the holiday. Stop searching now and book this amazing cabin.
