We had a great extended weekend! The place was perfect for what our family needed. Halfway between NY and FL! Our only regret is not paying to heat the pool! There were some imperfections with the property but no deal breakers! Just a tip it was nice to be provided with shampoo and conditioner but it was not hotel quality. I am sure you can find a great price for better quality in bulk. The house was just rite for what we needed. Thank you for letting us stay! It was our dogs first vacation and he loved it!
A longtime friend and i discovered we would be in the same area and decided to rent this property instead of hotel rooms so we had space and privacy to catch up. We were there from 4 pm check in to 10 am check out the next day. Very nice neighborhood. The cleaning fee was quite high for such a short stay (200) and frankly there were some issues with cleanliness, but it wasn't enough to truly complain, given our short stay. It was nicely outfitted, had everything we needed, comfortable and the owner was accessible. We could not find any information on the house anywhere, so couldn't access Wi-Fi, but again it was such a short visit it didn't really matter.
This was a fantastic stay! House is beautiful and well taken care of. Host was very helpful and accommodating. We have zero bad remarks about this entire stay and experience! We will be back.
Everything we needed to prepare a dinner was easy to find, the host did a wonderful job planning out the necessities of a family. Lots of space, great location, easy check-in!
The house was perfect for our quick trip to the hickory area. Quiet neighborhood, the house was very clean, comfortable, updated and the pool was nice. Loved the main bath shower. Would stay here again.
We had a wonderful time at this property! We used it for a staycation, with a pool. Our kids swam everyday and both learned to swim here! Our host was quick to answer questions before and during our stay. If you are looking to do the same this is a great location in a quite setting to relax and visit local restaurants and shops.
Overall, the place was clean, and beautifully decorated. The pool was an amazing addition and we got to relax by the pool most of the day. There are a few things that could be done to up the overall experience, like extra blankets (there were a couple throws) and thelaundey room bathroom could use a fresh coat of paint. It doesnt match the asthetic of the rest of the house. We loved the place and will definitely stay again.
We loved the house it was a great neighborhood and very quiet and relaxing, if I had any questions the host responded immediately, I would definitely rent this house again
Hands down one of the best Vrbo experiences ever. I will definitely purchase this home in the future for a mini getaway. Made of ladies mini vacay one to remember. Pool was nice the technology in the home was top notch. Not you typical basic vrbo home the furnished this home like they lived there!
It was a lovely home in a great neighborhood that was very close to the wedding venue. The owner was quick to respond when contacted about the door lock code not operating for us. I would strongly recommend this location for anyone staying in the Newton, Hickory NC area.
Nice place. Clean and airy. Do not plan to cook as there are no measuring cups or baking pans. Tried to make pancakes one day and cinnamon rolls the next but otherwise very nice. Freddy was very responsive and easy to work with. There was a problem with the heater for the pool when we stayed so we did not get to enjoy but it looked great. Much better than a hotel for our needs!
We came to Hickory, which is not that far, to see our son who works for the Hickory Crawdads MiLB. This house was a great place to stay. Anyone needing accommodations to see their families or take in a game this is the best place. Clean and having a pool to relax in was great. Only a 15-20 minute car ride and you are at most places. The host was easy to connect with and the house was very clean and is exactly what the pictures show. Depending on the baseball season we might be back! Thank you for the hospitality.
I have never come across such an aggressive host. I had requests that I considered to be minor, but the host responded in a very unprofessional manner. I had planned to stay a month, but because the host was unresponsive during the check-in process, and because he was not willing to accommodate our needs, such as the lack of dressing table, we decided to leave after one night. I wish him all the best, but I was disappointed how he treated me.
The property was easy to find , in a lovely neighborhood and within 10 minutes of our business in Hickory. Very convenient to shopping and restaurants.
The home hasn't been maintained well. The grass was over grown and the home held a smell upon arrival. Holes in walls, cabinet faces are in need of repair , it needs a deep clean . The communication was weird. I'd recieve an email and respond but our host wouldn't get them which led to the pool heater not being turned on. When the desire for the heater was communicated I was told it took 9 hours to heat the pool and it didn't make sense to do that for our 2 day trip. Although the pool was the deciding factor in choosing this rental we understood. The grill was absolutely disgusting. Smoke alarm was chirping upon check in , reported it and was told I could take it down if it bothered me. Spent alittle over a hundred dollars on groceries only for them to spoil because the fridge was broken. Thankful we were close to town and we could pick up food and bags of ice but this only added extra expense to our stay.
The master bathroom shower fixture was nice , the updates throughout the home looked unfinished tho.
Overall we appreciated the location of the home and feel the place needs some maintenance.
House was exactly as posted. Other than a baby pacifier under the master bed cleanliness was acceptable.
The host was extremely unaccommodating. I explained the situation of our visit we came up for a baseball tournament, and when we got pushed back due to rain, he refused to allow us to move our dates. We were not looking for a refund just to check in at a later date. He stated âno, but if we paid for 2 more nights he would give us one free. Mind you, the one he offered free wouldnât be needed anyway.
The WORST part was - after my initial reservation for 2 nights I requested to add a 3rd. He did it manually - sent me all of this via vrbo inbox, as well as requested payment for the 3rd night. However, when we arrived, he called me at 10 pm and informed me we were not to be there?!?! UmmâŠ.negative. ONLY AFTER I sent him screen shots of our conversation, did he say âoh, okâ and informed us we had to be out by 10. We were out at 7:15 am, so no issue there but extremely RUDE! Not an apology for him being wrong, just âmake sure youâre out on timeâ and end of conversation. I will NEVER stay here again nor would I recommend. We travel for spots A LOT, and have never dealt with such rudeness.
Overall, we had a decent trip, but had some issues with the property.
1. The cleanliness of the property just wasnât top notch. Kitchen cabinets were dirty with stuff dripped down them, dishes had dried food in them, kitchen sponge was clearly old and disgusting, etc.
2. The home needs some maintenance. Both full bathrooms had missing towel rods. Several light switch covers were cracked or broken. There was several places were drywall just wasnât repaired properly. The ice machine stopped working one day into our stay.
3. The pool was in rough shape. This was clearly an older pool, but in need of repairs and cleaning. I actually ended up vacuuming and skimming the pool myself several times during our stay. I understand thereâs some tree debris that no one can control, but the bottom of the pool was just dirty. I wasnât about to swim in a pool like this. Additionally, because the concrete around the pool had been painted, it was incredibly slick.
4. I didnât love the cameras around the property. I understand needing to protect your property if you arenât present, but having a camera directly aimed at the pool was unacceptable. We had a young child present so we ended up covering the camera, as you just never know these days.
5. The kitchen isnât stocked with what you need. They had some basics, but good luck finding a measuring cup. Again, due to cleanliness, every item we used was washed before and after use.
6. Communication with the owner- quick replies but rude.
