Super easy check-in and out. Responsive host. Gorgeous place with lots of extras (screened-in porch, inside and outside fireplaces, porch swings, huge walk in shower, and more). It’s amazing and the attention to details (artistically and functionally) are superb! My wife was in heaven!

This is an exceptional guest cottage. The experience was beyond what words could describe. The cottage itself was peaceful, quaint, and impeccably decorated. Every amenity that you could possibly desire was at your fingertips. The hostess was readily available but respectful of privacy. The pictures couldn’t possibly capture the charm of this cottage. We’ll be returning when visiting the area in the future. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

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 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 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.

We stayed here for our wedding weekend & it was perfect. We have traveled a lot and this was by far our favorite place we have ever stayed. We even kept talking about how we would love to live here! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a very nice & adorable cottage. We hope to return here every year to celebrate our anniversary. The hosts were incredibly kind and left us a nice card and surprise in the fridge for us to celebrate our marriage! We were very touched by their thoughtfulness. This property has any & every thing you may need. Our last full day was a little chilly & my husband built us a fire on the outdoor screened-in porch and we watched movies all day while listening to the wildlife behind us. It was perfect. Cannot recommend this place enough!!

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.

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful cottage in Taylors, SC! From the moment we walked in, we were struck by the warm ambience and the incredible attention to detail. It’s clear that so much thought and love went into building and decorating this space to make guests feel truly comfortable.The cottage was spotless, cozy, and full of charming touches that made it feel like a home away from home. The host was incredibly responsive and kind—helping us with any questions that we had and even giving us a much-needed donkey visit -which was such a fun and unexpected treat!This was the perfect getaway for our girls weekend. We left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and already dreaming about our next visit. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a peaceful and welcoming escape!
