Best rental I have ever stayed at! The house was immaculate! It was exactly what the pictures showed. There was plenty of room, yet it was so cozy! We ventured nearby towns during the day and stayed at the cottage at night. Built a fire on the outside porch fireplace and read each night we were there. It was the most relaxing few days away that we both needed!

The Hickory Cottage was absolutely fantastic for a four night stay for us. It's a beautiful home in a lovely and quiet location. It was perfect for us to work from home during the day and go to Greenville for dinner in the evening. The cottage had everything we needed, and Stacey is a phenomenal host. We have stayed at a lot of VRBO's, and this one ranks at the top for value, convenience, and location - outside of the city, but close enough to venture in when we wanted to. It's truly a hidden gem. I highly recommend it for a solo traveler or couple who don't want to stay downtown.

This cottage is darling! Spacious, bright, beautifully decorated! We enjoyed the screened porch where we watched TV one afternoon. The bed was really comfortable, and kitchen had everything we needed. The hosts were so accommodating. The photos can’t do justice to how lovely this cottage is in real life.

This was the most wonderful place to stay. It was decorated for Christmas, and it was so warm and welcoming. I am a designer, and my husband is a custom home builder. We noticed right away the beauty of the cottage, warmth and everything you could want or need for your stay. Our host was great! We will stay again and highly recommend this VRBO

This was a beautiful home in a quiet, peaceful setting--perfect for a getaway with my wife. We loved how secluded it felt with all the trees around us, and then how close it was to downtown Greenville (about 20 minutes) or Greer (15 minutes). It's a fairly new home, and every detail was perfect. We loved sitting out on the screened porch with a fire one evening. Inside there is a gas fireplace, but the weather was nice so we didn't use that one. Bed was comfortable, bathroom luxurious, and the kitchen had incredible appliances. My wife enjoyed having her morning devotional time on the front porch swings. I almost chose not to write a review, because I don't want this to become too popular were we to visit again. ;-)

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!

Rented this amazingly beautiful cottage for a girls weekend with my mom. It is just as pictured. Beautifully decorated, clean and in peaceful setting but close enough to restaurants and various shopping if you want to venture out. Can’t say enough nice things about the hosts, Stacey & Kenny! We had car trouble upon arrival and Kenny got us up with a mechanic that had our vehicle repaired the very next day where the dealership told us it would be 10 days. Will definitely visit again!!!

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.

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.

It’s beautifully decorated and has all the creature comforts including a well-stocked kictchen, comfortable bed, and spa-like bathroom.

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!
