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.
