Close to downtown Hickory and LRU
House can accommodate several people. Pool area is nice, but can use some cleaning and updating. This property is dog friendly, which was a priority for us.

Very Disappointing, Save your money and rent another home
I booked this to have a staycation where my kids and family could just be together and hang out at the pool and relax in a hot tub well…. Started off the first day with the pool and hot tub being dirty with leaves and dirt …then the outside tables rusted and outside furniture being really dirty…. I message to ask someone to come clean it so we could swim and received a quick response we someone would be out shortly but 2 hours later no one showed up so I jumped in to clean it bc my kids wanted to utilize it since they waited long enough… so spent hour with a little hand sized pool skimmer cleaning it then another hour sweeping around the pool bc it was so dirty as you can see in my photos attached …(again this is my vacation yet I’m cleaning the first couples after waiting 2 hours to even get in) Later that night I then had to clean a flooded bathroom downstairs bc after my daughter in law took a bath the tub leaked when draining all over the floor. So mind you I spent 3 hours of my first night on vacation cleaning when check in wasn’t till 3pm so I felt like I lost most of my first day that I paid for. I then the next day my son walking down the pool steps using the rail bout fell as it was cracked and not fully in the ground came out in his hand. I messaged them about the bathroom and the railing but no one besides pool cleaner showed up at 11 am to clean the pool. The one ceiling fan in the upstairs made screeching noises on any speed so was usable, the beds were eneven.

Be aware. Does not sleep 12!
We booked this property with an expectation of being able to host/sleep 12. Even if we put some people on air mattresses to get 12 people in there (5 queen beds), there were only seven plates and a couple of glasses. Not even six chairs at the dining room table, it is not set up for more than five people... Pans for cooking are all very small, as well. We made do because I was local and could bring additional supplies for the group. Would be incredibly disappointed if I had traveled and not had enough plates to eat even one meal or a big enough pan to cook soup in. Also specifically ask if the hot tub will be ready before you go because it was a green swamp mess for us and took a day for them to empty and clean it and another day to fill it and it was not warm enough to use before we had to leave again. The hot tub and large capacity was the specific reason we rented this over another similar place and we won't make that mistake again. I would rent this again for five people or less if we also don't plan on using the hot tub or pool. They were responsive to specific requests but definitely were not proactive, which means someone in the group is not having a vacation because they're going to have to manage all the things that aren't already taken care of.

Retreat with Private Pool and Hot tub???? NOT at this address!!!
The property we stayed at is in Hickory NC…… Our stay was 10-13 to 10-17 for our son’s wedding…… Representative for this property is MELISSA and for over one month we called to talk with her and share our experience and MELISSA has yet to respond to us!!!!! We are very disappointed with the condition of the rental!! We came to Hickory to enjoy our son's wedding and we had lots to do to prepare for the wedding on Saturday. Our wedding preparations were put on hold because we could not stay in the filthy condition of the house.... Upon arrival we were welcomed by an overflowing garbage can with no explanation as to when the garbage is put to the curb... My husband had to fix the detached faucet in the upstairs hall bathroom sink before we could use it as well as remove disgusting hair from the tub that would drain. The air return filter and grill have not been cleaned or changed for who knows how long and we had to clean it in order to stay there and run the air conditioning. Counters greasy, the oven had to be cleaned in order to use it and the microwave is unusable due to the rusted and peeling insides. We are surprised you would even leave this health hazard in the house.... The refrigerator/freezer was splattered with some kind of sauce and we had to clean it out before using.... The entire house and ceiling fans are full of dust, hair, and spiders in webs.... I've never seen a kitchen so ill equipped in my life... 1 tall drinking glass 5 forks No prep utensils etcetera and so on...... The master bedroom shower curtain was orange and mildewed before we cleaned it....and there is no toilet tissue holder or towel bars in that bathroom....as well as a rickety broken metal shelf… We were leery to remove the hot tub cover after seeing the condition of the house.... I have taken a few photos to include... Needless to say we do not agree with your "Retreat with Pool and Hot Tub" 5 star rating. It's very sad because the house has potential but needs a lot of love. We were disgusted and disappointed with this rental....”

It was easy to rent. The owner and property manager keep in touch with you to make sure everything was going well. The pool and hot tub was a bonus.. They got used every day... The only complaint we have the floors weren't clean well.

Just what my family needed!
This house was exactly what my family needed! The decor was nice throughout the house but walking in and seeing a Christmas tree helped to make it feel like Christmas for us! There was plenty of space for everyone. Kcup coffee was stocked and a few games were also provided which we enjoyed. The house was very clean and the beds slept nice. Located close to shops and restaurants. The property manager was quick to respond to inquires. Would definitely stay here again!

What a great stay
We loved staying here. The pool was great even though the water was a bit cold the kids did not care. The hot tub was a hit with everyone. The host was very nice and answered right away if we had questions. It was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. There was plenty of space for the five of us. Very convenient to shops and great food. We will definitely be staying here again. Thank you for a great stay

Great trip!
This house was perfect for our group! We enjoyed the hot tub and the house was convient to Lenior Rhyne where we went to a football game. We watched football at Blowing Rock Brewery and then back to the house to watch more football and grill steaks. We had plenty of room and were grateful for the well-stocked K-cups for coffee in the morning. The property manager was helpful and got back to us quickly when needed.

The 24 hour Delayed Vacation
House and pool were not ready, even after we arrived 50 minutes after check-in time. (Pool algae laden...house dirty) Property manager could have mitigated stress and crisis “surprise” by simply making an explanatory phone call while we were en-route. At 20 hours after check-in, the pool was finally ready; proper cleaning was completed at 24 hour delay point. Some $$ adjustments were made, but deemed insufficient by this party in light of poor management, poor scheduling, poor problem solving and disrespectful, age discriminating dialogue by property manager, Alexandra. This young woman offered unacceptable condescending comments; was argumentative and “talked over” the guest as discussions ensued; and even managed to offer sarcastic “solutions” (not). I am a retired senior military officer (O-6, Colonel)…I understand “customer service” and mission accomplishment. This was NOT the way to deal with a stressed and disenfranchised customer who had been “greatly wronged”. If this was my property, my first “fix” would be to seek a new property manager…immediately! In sum: First 24 hours were disaster. After that, we were able to relax and enjoy for the most part. We did finally have some fun after the initial day of distress and disappointment. We were left with an 80% vacation (4 out of 5 days). Note that the property's kitchen is NOT properly equipped for 10 guests, nor is the pool safe due to broken railing and an unstable/broken glass top pool-side table. Property has great, unrealized potential, but is in need of care/maintenance and needs some additional interior comfortable chairs. It is NOT handicapped accessible. I will not return nor would I recommend this property without significant changes as outlined above.

Just what we needed!
This was the perfect rental for me, my grown children, and their toddlers. Isolated together in a large home with lots of floor space for dragging toys out, lots of beds for difficult toddler nights, a hot tub for grown-up re-charging, and a large private pool where we all had a blast! We hope to come back next year!
