Love how quiet this location is despite its being so accessible to nearby restaurants and shopping. The hosts are very friendly and easy to work with. The bed is comfortable and the screened in porch is a delight. Will definitely stay there again.

As other reviews have said, this home is incredibly clean, well maintained, well appointed and has been nicely updated. The setting is a wonderful dog and family friendly area with lightly traveled streets and sidewalks. The location is convenient to Hickory’s downtown area. The host is very courteous, responsive and accommodating. Highly recommended.

Excellent hideaway!

This comfortable hideaway was spacious, quiet, and well-appointed with amenities. Plenty of space and in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to and a short distance from the main thoroughfare in Hickory (127). Bonus is that it’s just minutes from one of the top 50 sushi restaurants in the US: UMI. When we head back to Hickory, this will the top of the list for where to stay.

Nice quiet neighborhood and probably the quietest lower level house apartment we've stayed in. Firm king mattress. Lots of snacks provided. Only suggestion we have is for brighter bedroom nightstand lamps for reading since there isn't a ceiling light. There is a TV in bedroom but we are more readers before bed than tv viewers. Plugin scent was a bit too strong for my nose, but we just unplugged it while we were there. Would stay here again.

This quiet little gem was tucked away in a lovely neighborhood with it's own parking. It was beautiful and larger than pictures showed. The bed was amazingly comfortable. It had everything we needed and not far from Union Square. The screen room was a plus also. We would definitely stay here again.
