Second stay here, and it's always perfect! Close proximity to the spa at rock barn and a few great resteraunts. Perfect for a mom/friend/ girls get away!
Had an Amazing stay. House was extremely clean and had all the little details and things needed to make the stay amazing! Bed is beyond comfortable and pillows were perfect. Will definitely stay here again!
Everything about the actual room was exactly as described and the location was great. Easy walk to downtown and Kim was a great host. Would definitely stay again.
Beautiful property! The furnishings and decor are fun! The king size bed is incredibly comfortable! The space had everything we needed and was in a convenient location. The owners are friendly,and communicate well.
This property was beautifully decorated and wonderfully appointed. The owners have gone above to make their guests very comfortable. We would definitely book this property again.

Comfortable, high quality accomodations in a very nice neighborhood!
Kim and Peter are wonderful hosts! Kim kept in touch letting us know we could use the pool and have the room stocked with pool towels and sunscreen. I couldn’t have asked for a better weekend rental!! We will recommend to friends and family for sure!
Everything was as pictured, SO gorgeous! Perfect little spot for a girls weekend, a short drive to the spa at rockbarn which was amazing! The bed was so comfy & the pool was beautiful & well kept. Owners kept their distance & were sweet & accomodating. 10 out of 10 stay & will likely be back!

The Lounge was spacious, private and beautifully appointed inside and out. Our host was responsive and helpful. We highly recommend the Downtown Hickory Lounge.
We fell in love with this property. Great decor, loved the interior & exterior. So comfortable & just a fun place to spend a few days in Hickory. We will be back very soon.
It is an excellent stay! Would for sure come back and stay longer to see the sites after I get my work done. It would of been nice to use more if the amenities that were available.
We were in town for a wedding, and we found this beautifully decorated studio apartment in historic downtown Hickory. It was the perfect little get away and very clean! We also got to use the pool table room and the private pool area. Everything we needed was right there and we could walk to restaurants and shopping! 😃
My wife and I came to visit hickory for our 1 year anniversary. This was an amazing get away. The property was in a wonderful location. About a 6-8 min walk to all the shops downtown. So we really never had to drive our car and worry about parking. The property was also very clean and well kept. Kim was super responsive and very polite. Would def stay here again when we are back in hickory!
Beautiful property in the heart of downtown
Secluded and quiet, the bed was amazing.
Extremely clean and they have a huge under counter ice maker if you’re a cold drink fanatic like me. I would love to stay here again if we return.
From the ease of locale to shops and dining to the friendliness of the owners it is a must stay. Did not have any “vacation anxiety” as the neighborhood is historic and peaceful. The garden and birds made you feel like you were at a cottage far from a city. Would go again for sure.
This was a gem! Beautifully decorated and immaculate! I only wish it hadn't rained so I could have enjoyed relaxing at the pool. Next time, for sure! Highly recommend!!!
Stayed here for a trip to Rock Barn Spa about 30 minutes away. Wanted a place close to downtown Hickory area in walking distance to restaurants. Owners have converted a portion of their garage to a suite as well as a separate workout/game room which you have exclusive access to while staying with them. They also have a pool and spa that would have been awesome had the weather been nicer during our stay.
They have done a great job with the conversion and the accommodations are cozy and decorated well including a comfortable mattress and kitchenette.
Will stay with them again if traveling back to the area.
Every little detail you can imagine was covered. Had one small problem with TV. Owner was quick to respond and he took care of it himself. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to stay and intend to rent it again.
The studio is well-sized. Created from a garage, it is now a stunning pool house. The design is trendy and cool. It had everything we needed, plus extra thoughts from the owner, like little add-ons like suntan lotion for the pool. It is quietly placed behind a grand home in downtown Hickory. If you are in good shape, you can walk to downtown. A short car ride led us to some great restaurants, and just outside of town is Lake Hickory.
The owner was very responsive.
One little hiccup I had was the use of feathered pillows; I am highly allergic and should have realized right away. BYOP if you cannot use feathered pillows.
We were in town assisting a loved one at Frye Regional and we could not have chosen a better lodging. The inn is located a short distance from the hospital and the accommodations were just what we needed.
The inn was exactly as described (and very, very clean)…but was MUCH more than what was described regarding the attentiveness of the host.
Our host responded almost immediately to every changing request that we had (we needed to keep adding days to our stay). She was sensitive to our situation and not only added days, but made sure that we didn’t have have to change rooms during those days. We stayed in a 2-bedroom on the first floor that had one dark and quiet bedroom that enabled us to sleep especially well.
The inn is also located close to many restaurant options. We can highly recommend!
