The house was lovely & clean. Great location! We would stay here again.

Fantastic house. Where to start, from walking in to leaving, we were just blown away by personal touches in this property. So tastefully done and little details are everywhere. Great location, very quiet location near the dam with very little boat traffic compared to other houses further down the lake. You're likely to see more blue herons, eagles and Osprey than boats. Super comfortable beds and great air conditioning system with a lot of control for all over. Being up on stilts means you get a 2 car garage to keep your car out of the sun on full concrete. This are underneath the house is a great space with full patio and lounge seating options. Additionally the screened in porch offers great sunrise sunset options as well as the adjacent open deck and another covered deck on the front(street) on the second floor with yet another open deck off the third floor master bedroom. All are well furnished with comfortable seating. Owners were very responsive and did a great job of keeping in touch. We enjoyed the new Hickory Aviation Museum only a few miles away along with convenient location within shirt distance to plenty of dining options and shopping. Would we stay here again absolutely! Having our boat in the water a few steps from the front door was most awesome!

Couldn’t have asked for a nicer getaway. The river views are amazing and it is so peaceful. Bonus was the Copper Penny Cafe that was walkable with great food and drinks! Hope to be back again in the future!

The property exceeded our expectations. it was comfortable and brand new. Everything you need was there and the river view was very peaceful. The weather was warm so boats and jet skis were going by. There is a restaurant at the end of the street that people travel to on the water and dock while they eat. That will be first on our list of to-does next time. The hosts provided a Handy notebook with instructions for how to run the HVAC,the dishwasher,etc....nothing came up that he had not provided instructions for.We know the area and found it easy and quick to go to Hickory ,Granite Falls and to Morganton. Hickory is a 10 minute drive.The Riverwalk and aviation walk are no more than 15 minutes.This cottage will definitely be our go to place for a peaceful getaway when we come to Hickory a few times per year.
