Real oasis
Lovely space, cool decor and very relaxing. The pool is stunning! I wish I had known about this place when my brother was in Frye Medical recently; so much nicer than staying in the chain hotels off the highway.

Amazing Weekend, Amazing Host
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!
We loved this little place! The landscaping is beautiful and the room was very well stocked and perfectly decorated. We were with a large group that stayed in other rentals and hotels nearby, and our place was by far the best one in the area for about the same cost. The pool table was an added bonus for my kids!

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!

Perfect Retreat
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! 😃

High design little studio
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.

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.
Comfortable, high quality accomodations in a very nice neighborhood!

Perfect
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!

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!!!
The Lounge was spacious, private and beautifully appointed inside and out. Our host was responsive and helpful. We highly recommend the Downtown Hickory Lounge.
