Loved this house! We had a large family group in town for a wedding and this was the perfect house. The location is great, very close to town square, lots of shopping and dining places. The house was very clean, rooms were spacious and kitchen well stocked. We did not bring our dogs this time but it has a great fenced in yard. The host was very kind and quick to respond. Super easy check in and check out process!!

The front yard is fenced and offers a nice safe area for your pet. Located across from HEB so very convenient for fuel and groceries. Short walk to downtown Lockhart which is charming with the Caldwell County courthouse as the centerpiece. Enjoyed great BBQ and a convenient location.

The Hickory House was the perfect stay for our last-minute Labor Day weekend trip to Lockhart! Two king bed suites with en suite bathrooms is hard to find, but makes it easy for two families to travel together so no one feels like they get stuck with the smaller bed or sharing a bathroom. We were pleasantly surprised by how comfy all of the beds were. They were luxuriously comfortable, beyond what we’ve come to expect in a vacation rental. However, The top quality of this home is the location. When it comes to Lockhart, you want to be walking distance from the square, or else what’s the point? From Hickory House you can grab chaparral coffee in minutes, hit up 5-star bbq, or pick up takeout from a number of great options and enjoy back at home in the comfy living room. We loved being able to spend the day shopping and eating then get home quickly to rest when we hit our wall. Bonus points for HEB being right across the street for quick grocery runs. We didn’t take advantage of The spacious backyard or fire pit because it’s still too hot but a small pool would send this property over the top and we would never look anywhere else when coming to Lockhart!

Great Home in the BBQ Capital of Texas

This property was a fantastic place for a long weekend in Lockhart. Just a short walk to the square and a wonderful place to unwind away from the rush and get a taste of Texas. The beds were great too! I highly recommend this property for those looking to escape to Lockhart for food or festivals.

We came in for the F1 race. This location was south of the track. It cut against most of the traffic.

Wonderful home, tastefully decorated and well stocked with whatever you might need. Backyard is fun with disc golf and croquet set provided. It's a pretty busy spot with the HEB across the street, but owner handled that issue with noise machines in the bedrooms. Slept great as a result of those and the super comfortable beds!That being said, it was also super convenient to have a store writhing walking distance Highly recommend!!!

Fabulous Family location!!

We brough 5 kids and 2 dogs to the Hickory House and had a fabulous time! The home is perfect, exactly what you need for a stay. We were sampling as many BBQ places as we could. Great walking distance to downtown Lockhart. Short drive to places that are too far to walk in the summer. Owners were fabulous. Very easy check in and check out. No onerous requirements for checking out. We will look forward to doing it again.

Home away from Hone

We had a wonderful time in Lockhart. This house was in the perfect spot for us. We were going back and forth between Austin and San Antonio for the USATF Regional Track meet. We were able to walk to the historic downtown area. They have cute shops and great places to eat all within a 10 to 15 minute walk. There is also a HEB directly across the street from the house which made groceries for the week super easy. We highly recommend staying here if innthe area.
