Relaxing, peaceful lake cottage
We so much enjoyed our stay at the Lake Hickory cottage. The back porch overlooking the lake with the four rocking chairs was the perfect spot to enjoy our morning coffee and evening glasses of wine. Our daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter joined us and we all enjoyed going out on the lake in the kayaks. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. We enjoyed exploring downtown Hickory, but we were always happy to get back to the peaceful lake cottage and relax with the gorgeous lake view.

Making memories of us
Enjoyed our stay at the lake house. Taylorsville is a nice quiet little town. The weather was a little cold and it rained two of our days. Would recommend to anyone staying in or near Taylorsville NC.

Best trip ever!
Sometimes when you plan a trip, you are never sure of what you are getting. Our trip to Lake Hickory Cottage was just the best. I tear up thinking of the great time we had and how convenient everything was. We loved the patio and fishing from the dock. We were able to rent a pontoon that just capped our trip off. I wish we could have stayed longer for it is certainly worth the peacefulness, rest, and relaxation we encountered and enjoyed at Lake Hickory. Thanks, VRBO for a fantastic respite.
