A couple of kayaks will be provided for daytime adventure, the coves have calm waters for beginner adventurists. Swimming right off the dock is always an option as well. Paddleboard sessions are available as well. Riverbend Park is within a 15 minute commute with beautiful walking trails that wind in and out of the trees through open fields and next to Lake Hickory. Within a 30 minute drive we have Rocky Face Park which has 6 miles of moderate to strenuous trails. Winery's, Breweries, and Distilleries are popular attractions within a short distance. Lake Hickory while picking up in popularity is still mostly natural landscape with beautiful views. We have a keyless checkin system with a 4 digit code. It includes parking space for at least 4 vehicles. Our home is nestled in a quiet cove. 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. It is not a fancy place to stay but a good place to make memories. Our property is situated on the water so please watch young children closely and stay aware when near the water's edge ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Billiards/pool table - Kayak - Hiking/biking trails nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 4,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/27000000/26270000/26269700/26269674/ce74257a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### #1 Rated Vacation Home w/ Deep Water on the Main Channel Taylorsville - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 148 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-10&endDate=2025-11-11&selected=26269674&PinnedHotelID=26269674&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/66000000/65510000/65507100/65507040/023a5d6a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Heavenly Harbor - Lake Life at its Best!
