Lake Hickory cottage in NC foothills in Lake Hickory

Relax and enjoy the delights of western North Carolina in this 1,100
square-foot cottage on a deep-water cove of Lake Hickory just 12 miles
from downtown Hickory. Enjoy swimming, fishing, jet-skiing, and
boating from the dock, or just watching the blue heron, geese, and
ducks from the sunroom or patios.
3-level home down slope of hill; 4 steps from upper level with
bedroom, bath and entrance/utility room to great room (kitchen and
living room w/ wood fireplace), and 2 steps down to sunroom (study

overlooking lake and walkway to 16'x16' dock on deep water.
The spacious great room and sunroom (each 30 feet long), in addition
