Walking distance to downtown (about 15 minutes), and to Hollar Mills (the resturaunt at the brewery is GREAT). House is also close to the SALT block, hospitals, and the stadium.

My grandsons are 2, 4 and 5 - and there are some toys there. The back bedroom has a projector on the ceiling with color-changing nebulas and stars (for the kid in all of us). There are some board games, puzzles and coloring books (for kids and adults) in the armoire in the living room as well. A pack and play (with sheets and blankets) is available.
You are welcome to smoke on the front or back porch, there are ashtrays in the bottom drawer to the left of the stove. Please do not leave cigarette butts around the property.

Summary: The good: Older home that has been decorated with very lively/fun accessories. Lots of space to move around in. Off-street parking could hold a couple of cars (we only had one). It is close to downtown Hickory. Being pet-friendly was nice. The kitchen worked for what we needed. It was a much better set-up than a hotel room for us on this trip.The not quite as good: The floors are not even and show some pretty good signs of wear. The paint on the ceiling of one of the bedrooms is hanging off and looks like it is ready to fall. It was just not as clean as previous VRBOs we've stayed in - it may just be the age of the home.
