Hickory Hill Retreat
Rustic bones, refined within
Tucked into a forested hillside above Sautee Nacoochee, Hickory Hill Retreat earns its name. Arriving via a gravel mountain road beneath hardwoods, the cabin presents itself with quiet confidence — unhurried, intentional, wholly itself.
Inside, warmth takes priority over ostentation. A gas fireplace anchors the living space, while layered textiles, swivel chairs, and a deep sofa invite relaxed, unhurried evenings. The kitchen is fully stocked and ready — not a hospitality afterthought, but a room designed for use.
What makes Hickory Hill distinct is its balance: enough detail to feel cared for, enough rusticity to feel honest.
A room built for slow evenings
The living area’s fireplace casts a warm glow across timber and textiles. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the treeline, bringing the mountains inside. Swivel chairs invite conversation, the deep sofa holds the weight of a full day, and the coffee table sits low and honest — for wine, board games, or nothing at all.
Why Locèlle Loves It
Hickory Hill Retreat is where modern design meets rustic charm. Carefully chosen furniture and original wood details create spaces that are both comfortable and inspiring. Natural light highlights textures and finishes that balance warmth with contemporary elegance.
The mix of sleek furniture and timeless wood gives the home authenticity and depth. It’s a retreat that feels curated yet lived-in, offering calm, beauty, and effortless style — exactly the kind of place Locèlle loves to share.
A stay that feels considered from the start
This is a home with a point of view. Every detail—quietly resolved, nothing overdone—creates a space you feel the moment you arrive. It’s not about more, it’s about better. Bullets:
