Cottage vacation rentals in Hickory

A beautiful and peaceful place to stay, located near lots of great hiking spots. The mountain view and running stream provided a peaceful atmosphere. The short drive to two towns where there is dining, coffee and groceries, made our stay more flexible and pleasant. The hot tub and starry views were amazing.

The Loverly is truly lovely—you’ll feel at home! With a fireplace, a chaise lounge, a hot tub, and more, it’s the perfect retreat. Plan a shopping day in Hendersonville. The local consignment shop, which supports hospice care, offers great prices. For a meal, check out Shine—known for unique dishes and excellent service. In Fairview, The Local Joint is a must-visit. This old-fashioned diner, owned by a single mom, serves hearty meals that last all day. Their eggs Benedict, with fresh spinach, avocado, and homemade skillet potatoes, is a standout. Watching “CoCo” cook—his energy is unmatched—is an experience! Get there early; we went twice, and it was packed. Consider contributing to The Local Joint’s “pay it forward” option. A $10 donation covers a meal for someone in need. This region of North Carolina was severely impacted by Hurricane Helene. The destruction is heartbreaking, but the community is rebuilding. Many businesses and walking trails remain closed, so keep that in mind.

“Had a great stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Check-in was smooth, and the host was friendly and responsive. The location was perfect — quiet but close to everything I needed. Definitely recommend and would stay here again!”

Cute Airbnb perfect for a couples getaway weekend. Perfectly located close to numerous coffee shops, hikes, fishing and restaurants.

Sweet guest cottage in the mountains. Theme decor is very welcoming and comfortable. Gives rustic chic vibes. Feels spacious. Sofa bed linens and mattress pad made for a v comfortable place to sleep. Two bathrooms and ample hot water and towels. Up a steep hill, choose the one minute longer route up Possum vs Sunset road and it is not as twisty and steep. Probably not a walk to town kind of place due to the hillside perch but close enough that you wont mind the quick drive. We saw deer, bunnies and a bear in the neighborhood. Thoughtful host, lots of nice little touches (S'MORES!!!!).

Great stay, will come again

This was the perfect weekend getaway from the chaos of the city! Emily and Hunter were amazing hosts and I couldn't have asked for a better place to spend the weekend. Everything was as described and we left feeling recharged and stress free! Thank you for hosting us!

This lovely home with its pastoral view really exceeded our expectations. The house was roomy, well laid out and we enjoyed sitting on the back deck in the daytime and using the hot tub at the end of the day after hiking the Blue Ridge PWY. The beds were very comfortable. The location was 20 minutes from Asheville. Our host was responsive and helpful. Definitely willing to use this house again!

Very nice accommodations, comfortable bed! Conveniently located right off the main interstate.

Stayed for three months while work was happening on our house. It was as close to feeling like home as it could have been. Loved sitting outside in the rocking chairs or around the fire pit (that I now need to buy one like it lol). Beds were very comfortable and it had everything needed. Hated to leave and would stay again if needed

Great and very nice place to stay in the area. Very comfortable and very clean. Will stay again and leave a 5 star everytime

We have stayed here before, we always feel at home. Roger and his wife are very responsive. we look forward to staying here again soon.

Truly a great experience! Deb and Tony are the ultimate hosts. We added family members and a pet to our original reservations due to coordinating schedules for family members. They responded promptly to our requests and our trip was a huge success! I highly recommend this location for anyone visiting the Travelers Rest/Greenville area. The vineyard and grounds were peaceful for walking. Wine tasting was a plus!!! Thank you Deb and Tony

The place was absolutely gorgeous and very peaceful, Bill the host was very responsive and friendly. This place was great I would absolutely stay here again

Wonderful stay in this charming cabin. Had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and was very clean upon arrival. Loved sitting on the front porch amongst the trees enjoying the cool mountain air and hearing the birds chirping while enjoying a cup of coffee. The location cannot be beat. Very easy access to everything Boone and Blowing Rock have to offer. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful relaxing four days stay. The house was sparkling clean and comfortable. I would suggest that you put a hand rail on the front steps. We are elderly and the steps were a challenge.

This cozy cottage is perfect for any getaway! Just a drive away to popular towns or a perfect place to just relax, listen to the breeze and enjoy the porches!

This home was a very peaceful location with abundant windows and views of the lake. Very private with comfortable beds and plentiful bathrooms for our family of four.

Thank you to Tami for letting us book her house for the time we did! It really helped my father out in the aftermath of hurricane Helene. The house is very cute, and has really neat vintage appliances (I love the old fridge!). The area is quiet, the Internet works well, and the house has everything needed for a comfy stay.

Just was the perfect hostess! She was friendly, answered all my questions quickly and made our arrival seamless. The house was clean and stocked with everything we needed. We were immediately comfortable and we were able to settle in quickly. Both the house and surroundings were impeccable and well maintained. Highly recommend staying here!!

We stayed in the Gala Getaway cottage and it was wonderful! The description given by Jennifer was spot on. The cottage is extremely private and clean. Next time we visit the area we definitely hope that the cottage is available as it is close to everything. It is convenient to access downtown Hendersonville, wineries and several apple orchards . It is minutes from highway 26 while providing a quiet peaceful setting. We recommend it to anyone visiting the area

This was my second visit to Marthas and once again it did not disappoint. This time we decided to book specifically for a father son fishing trip. We had a blast caught plenty bass blue gill and some catfish. I normally never catch any bass but they were pumping on my hook all weekend. Martha is always helpful very responsive and so polite she always leaves a little snack in kitchen when you enter. The furniture is cozy and very comfortable the setting is relaxing and beautiful view. The neighbors are polite great restaurants nearby and easy to drive to with many grocery stores close by the locals are so friendly and welcoming.

It's a really charming, comfortable, clean, and quiet place. It has the best kitchen equipment of any place I've stayed: a large set of dish- and glassware, pots and pans, plush towels, comfortable bed. The host communicated well and quickly. I would definitely return.

Lovely little cottage in a holler with creek and privacy. We had some light snow but roads were passable. Great place for small family and close to numerous activities.
