My grandsons are 2, 4 and 5 - and there are some toys there. The back bedroom has a projector on the ceiling with color-changing nebulas and stars (for the kid in all of us). There are some board games, puzzles and coloring books (for kids and adults) in the armoire in the living room as well. A pack and play (with sheets and blankets) is available.

You are welcome to smoke on the front or back porch, there are ashtrays in the bottom drawer to the left of the stove. Please do not leave cigarette butts around the property.

    The host was very nice and accommodating. She replied back quickly to my questions.The house was spacious, colorfully decorated and had lots of amenities. Great house for families with children. Our granddaughter loved the dollhouse! Nearby roads were noisy but didn't really bother us. Our family enjoyed our time here! Thank you for sharing your house with us!

    House is located in a not so desirable neighborhood. Not able to walk downtown. Outside adequate lighting would be a good start. I wouldn't recommend it. I left after a few hours due to police issues with the people/house across the street.

    Very good! My 88 yr old father was easily able to get around in the house also a ramp to enter. Nice outside seating areas. Very enjoyable just a little dim lighting in some areas. Otherwise perfect!

    House is very eclectic and charming. Location is great. Fenced yard A if you have pets. It is backed up to a busy road, but no breaks in the fence, so dogs are safe and when inside you go not hear the traffic. Communication and response by owner was fast and very pleasant. We would visit again if we're in the area, for sure!!

    Bathroom has black mold growing in corners. Ceiling paint is falling off onto your face in the mng. I mean it was constantly falling in huge chunks onto the bed, the floor, everywhere. There was nowhere inside that home to accommodate groceries. There was no pantry no cabinet to put them in. Huge lack of storage so this is not geared for extended stays. The kitchen floor felt like it was about to cave in. The fenced back yard had no grass. There appears to be some type of shelter directly across from the unit however every time we went outside, we felt like we were on stage because people at the shelter would be sitting on the porch, staring at us. Keep in mind this is a neighborhood area that I would not feel comfortable walking alone during the daylight hours. One night we actually heard gunshots turns out a young man had been shot.

    The good: Older home that has been decorated with very lively/fun accessories. Lots of space to move around in. Off-street parking could hold a couple of cars (we only had one). It is close to downtown Hickory. Being pet-friendly was nice. The kitchen worked for what we needed. It was a much better set-up than a hotel room for us on this trip.The not quite as good: The floors are not even and show some pretty good signs of wear. The paint on the ceiling of one of the bedrooms is hanging off and looks like it is ready to fall. It was just not as clean as previous VRBOs we've stayed in - it may just be the age of the home.

    Beautifully loved and decorated, this older home had everything you could want, and more. It is a large space, so it wouldn’t feel crowded, even with kids, or a pet. The one downside was the proximity to traffic noise.I loved how I could quickly zip to nearly everywhere, whether downtown or out at Baker’s Mountain. Communication was great, and the house was well-stocked.
