I can only echo the previous reviewers in that this cottage is simply exceptional! This was our first visit to the Greenville area, and we can't wait to come back to stay at Hickory Cottage again soon, as it was located within 20 minutes of downtown Greenville. We hiked Table Rock/Stool Mountain (saw a black bear!) and visited Paris Mountain State Park. Both parks were super convenient to HIckory Cottage. Again, such a gorgeous property, and exactly like the photos. A wonderful long weekend!

Caught kissing on a Jumbo-tron and need to lay low for a while? This is the place to go. The photos and descriptions for this listing are super accurate, no surprises. The owners have poured their hearts into this place. It's super quite and a great place to relax and just enjoy your time away from home/work. The owners are great and easy to deal with. Looking forward to staying there again.

Wonderful property with every amenity necessary and more! Close to everything but you don't feel like it when you are on the screened porch or front porch. Do not hesitate to give it a try.

The Hickory Cottage was beautiful with so many thoughtful details. Tucked away in a wooded section of a very nice rural suburban neighborhood, the cottage was very private and surrounded by trees. The owners (Stacey and Kenny) provided everything we could have wanted for an amazing and relaxing stay. The home was immaculate and beautifully styled. The communication with the owners was easy and friendly. We can wholeheartedly recommend this property as your place to stay while in the Greenville, SC area.

Simply beautiful...I absolutely love coming back here. Stacey and Kenny are genuinely the best hosts! The cottage has everything you could want to make your stay here enjoyable. To the walk-in shower with it's spa like feel to the fully equipped kitchen. Everything is so clean and bright. I loved going out on the porch bed swings whether to catch up on some reading or just relax and listen to everything going on in the woods around me. I also enjoyed a fire since the evenings there recently turned cooler. It was nice to finally meet Dora and Squirt and see all the deer that visit from time to time. Thank you Stacey and Kenny for making my stay a memorable one. Looking forward to my next visit soon.

Hidden gem in idyllic setting

Hickory Cabin rivals any high-end boutique hotel with the benefit of feeling like being home. It’s beautifully decorated and has all the creature comforts including a well-stocked kictchen, comfortable bed, and spa-like bathroom. The exterior spaces and tranquil, wooden setting are perfect for relaxing and down-time. The home is convenient to the Upstate region for a local visit, or it serves a great get away. The hosts are delightful and even had the cabin beautifully decorated for the holiday. Stop searching now and book this amazing cabin.

Tucked Away Convenience

Hickory Cottage is now our favorite place to stay when visiting our daughter at college. The serene setting is convenient to so much the area has to offer. Stacey and Kenny are gracious hosts. Very clean, tastefully appointed and oh so relaxing. Our only regret is that we didn’t spend as much time there as we would have liked. Will be booking again and hoping to enjoy some down time at the cottage.

Great private getaway in Greenville

So glad we found Hickory Cottage! The cottage is so charming and so nicely decorated. It's a perfect getaway for a couple looking to relax and decompress. We loved the privacy of the surrounding woods and the views from all the windows. The screened porch and outdoor swings are wonderful for enjoying a good book and some coffee. The location is only about 25 minutes from downtown Greenville and some great restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The cottage is a real gem!
