Cottage vacation rentals in Hickory

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.

Great stay, will come again

Nice stay just outside of Blowing Rock with close access to the Blue Ridge Parkway and beautiful views of Grandfather and Sugar Mountains. Host is very responsive and made sure we had what we needed.

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!

Really enjoyed our stay. The view and sunsets were spectacular. The beds were extremely comfortable. We really enjoyed the hot tub. Great place!!

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!

We enjoyed our stay with our 2 dogs! The cottage was very comfortable and had a well-equipped kitchen with everything we needed.. including coffee and tea! The beds were comfortable and the open living room was perfect. We loved the seating on the deck, and the fenced-in backyard overlooking a creek was perfect for our dogs. Location was great with a short drive into Asheville. Our dogs especially loved the visits from the cows next door!! Hope to return soon!!

We recently stayed at the Stargazer Airbnb while we were in town for MerleFest and visiting family, and it was absolutely perfect. The property is stunning — a beautiful, peaceful setting that felt like a true escape. The cottage itself was cozy, spotless, and had so many thoughtful touches, like towels for the hot tub, plush robes, and even a bottle of wine waiting for us. There were even supplies ready for making s'mores! The hot tub was a wonderful bonus, and we loved relaxing under the stars. The hosts were fantastic communicators and so accommodating throughout our stay. We would absolutely stay here again. Thank you Benjamin and Sommer for an amazing weekend!

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!!!!).

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

Had a great stay, everything I needed. Will stay there again, Harry is a great host.

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

We really enjoyed our stay. Beatles between blowing rock and Boone we were able to enjoy both, and the tweetsie railroad! It is a small little place, as described, but worked for our family of 4!

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.

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.

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

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.

We stayed at the Airbnb for our wedding weekend. Ashely and Madeline made everything seamless— if you’re having a wedding at emerald hill, staying at the Airbnb is a must. It made things to easy at the end of the night to drop things off/change as everything progressed

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.

Location was great with plenty to do and beautiful surroundings!
