About this cottage rental

Beautiful Lakefront cottage on Lake Hickory in North Carolina within an hour and a half of Charlotte, Asheville, Greensboro and Boone. The gently sloped property boasts wonderful views of Lake Hickory. Pass peaceful hours on the large deck; hammock, or dock where you are sure to be entertained by the views, fish, ducks, geese, turtles, and more. The home includes 2 bedrooms - the master with a queen size bed; and the second bedroom with 2 sets of Bunk beds(3 Twin Beds and 1 full); 2 bathrooms, and large living room/dining room/kitchen room.

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.

Swimming is at your own risk. All under 18 yrs of age MUST wear a life jacket when in the water or on any dock. Many life jackets are provided, but we cannot guarantee your size will be available, so feel free to bring your own. All children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult. 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.

Guests have access to the swimming dock equipped with a ladder and a double boat slip dock as well. Boat rentals are available minutes away and boats can be parked in the double boat covered dock if needed. The shut in metal boat house on property is OFF LIMITS for guests.

NO PETS ARE ALLOWED. NO EXCEPTIONS.

ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING INSIDE. IF THIS IS DETECTED, A $200 FINE WILL BE IMPOSED.

The property needs updates and maintenance. Location is great, outdoor space is great and host was responsive. We had several maintenance issues (broken shower, broken freezer, new cleaning crew did not clean some areas) during our stay and overall the property needs alot of TLC to bring it up to standards, especially insude.
