Humble Family Escape w/ Ping-Pong, Near Downtown Hickory

Very nice. The family enjoyed the stay.

This property was exactly what they advertise and the owner was so helpful! Would definitely stay again!

Excellent communication from host. House was just as described. Great location to everything in Hickory.

Havr stayed at multiple homes and this was very clean, good location, and roomy. My only ideas would be to upgrade bed frames (too antique to sleep on), dressers (too antique to use - knobs/handles falling off), and mattess could be firmer. Would stay here again if needed because the location gave us the ease to move around Hickory well.

Perfect stay for a few guys on a golf trip. It was clean and comfortable. It was also very close to quite a few restaurants and downtown. I would definitely stay here again.

Delightful home in beautiful NC. Will definitely be back.

Everything was perfect spent a week with no problems thank you

Such a great place to stay for the price and location! Would definitely stay here again.

Close to everything

Clean. Comfortable. Accommodating. Great host!

It is a cute house and very accommodating. I would rent this house again.

Absolutely cute property with comfortable beds and nice linens. The cleaning and maintenance was very disappointing. Cleaning products used left a strong enough odor that required opening all of the windows to air it out in 60 degree weather. (Our hostess promised to speak to the cleaning crew.) We pulled out the two cookie sheets to warm up pizza but both were rusted but it didn't really matter because the oven had so much baked on residue on the bottom we would not ever have used it. Didn't think about using the toaster oven for the leftover pizza since it was pretty soiled as well. It seemed odd that as guests we were requested to start the washing machine for our towels. It's normal to take out the garbage but doing the laundry? All in all, the total price was comparable to staying at one of the hotels in the area (4 people, 2 rooms at a hotel). First impression was wonderful! Unfortunately the property was disappointing in the kitchen detail.

It was a cute clean, nice home. I would stay there again.

Liked home layout very much…only issue we had were beds were like cots. Steel bed frames and just adequate mattresses were disappointing. Really need to upgrade those beds to be more sturdy & comfortable. Otherwise the place was great.

The house was very clean, nice smelling, and the owner left drinks and snacks on the table which I thought was a nice touch. The house exterior was nicely maintained, the neighborhood was just ok. The location was close to the main road and therefore close to a lot of things. There were two things that I found challenging: 1. All the beds were extremely uncomfortable. All the bedrooms had mattresses on a basic wire bed frame; no box spring, headboard, etc. It did not feel good at all. Also, any movement in any of the beds echoed throughout the house; we could hear every move our teenagers made in their own beds across the hall. It was not a good night for any of us. 2. Communication with the owner was challenging; took a few attempts each time. I reached out twice; the first time prior to check in, and she said did not receive my message until I followed up the next day. The second time was after check in - I reached out to ask a question. I sent email, texted and called...she did not respond to any of those things but did immediately text after not taking the phone call. After some polite exchanges, she abruptly stopped engaging in the conversation; I assume she was annoyed with results (I was not able to find something that ended up being on the kitchen counter. From that point on, the only communication was the auto messages sent through VRBO. We checked out the next day, a day early. Will most likely switch back to a hotel.

Located close to LR for easy access to and from the school daily. Home had everything we needed and was located on a quiet street. Only suggestion would be bed toppers or better mattersses, after 2 days the beds become uncomfortable. Stayed 4 nights.

Property was very nice for the age of the structure. Well kept yard, building, and interior amenities. Two lavatories were very slow to drain and reported to the Property Manager. We hoped they would be repaired during our stay, but were not (reason for 4 star overall review).
