We have 2 exterior cameras that are only accessed if security concerns arise. They focus on the front door and back yard. The focal points do not touch screened areas or interior in order to maintain the privacy of our guests.
This cottage is one of those small cottages that has been added to as the family has grown. So the layout may seem a bit quirky but we think, like us, you will find the additions fun, especially the 2nd level and game room.

Our property is situated on the water so please watch young children closely and stay aware when near the water's edge

Nice little lake house
Great house for the price. Obviously it’s a older home which was to be expected. We brought our own boat. The driveway, dock, and boathouse made it super accommodating. The bar area

Awesome outdoor space
The outdoor bar was very nice and inviting. The beach part of the lake was also great! I love that this house had several areas for outdoor entertainment. The property has a super sweet cat named Bucket that hangs around, she was another highlight of the house! The photos and price of the home did raise expectations and once we arrived I felt the home was a bit run down. However, the house was well equipped and the game room was updated and very enjoyable! The home being dog friendly was an absolute selling point! Overall, it was a great trip.

Sleepless at Lake Hickory
It did have a lot of space to hang out in and gather. It was very dated but pretty clean. Was very accommodating of our fur babies and did have a good view. But did not sleep well at all on those beds, very uncomfortable. They needed to change their air filter...we all woke up with soar throats and stuffy noses. Couldn't use paddle boat because it was full of water, there wasn't a gas grill , just charcoal...it was a good rental for the off season price...but would not rent this for full price in the full season... I rate this rental as okay..

Good for family or group vacatio
The home is well set up for a group, including a great game room, access to the lake, and conveniently located. It could be cleaner, but acceptable on that front.
