Avoid! Don't become a victim
This property is a scam. Showed up Friday night to check in and there was somebody already at the house. Claimed he had it booked thru another site but the house isn't listed on that site. We had to scramble to book another house
Property should be removed so others don't fall victim.

Double booked
We got to the house that we got through VRBO several months ago. There were 3 cars in the driveway, but we knocked on the door anyways. The lady answered and said they had rented it through Airbnb. We were quickly given another house in the city. It was ok, but there were roaches and ants in the house. Other than that, we had an excellent weekend.

Could not take occupancy
We pulled up and there were workers there. Told the home was not supposed to be rented. It had been taken off the market months ago. We had to scramble to get a hotel for 7 people.
It sucked!

Amazing location and host
We loved our stay here. The host was very accommodating of us and quick to respond anytime I messaged. Close to everything! 3 parks nearby which was great for our toddler. Bedrooms and linens were clean, however the house definitely could of been cleaned a lot better. It’s like they made and cleaned the sheets and trash was empty but everything else was left as is. Wasn’t bad, like I said we really enjoyed our stay, just think they could do a way better job of cleaning. Only one of the baby gates worked so we had to get creative with blocking off our toddler from the three sets of stairs so bring extra if you have a young child.

Visiting Grandson
The property was large' plenty of room, plenty of TV's. Neighborhood was very quiet. The water pressure in the shower was awesome. Beds were comfy. Loved everyone sitting on the sectional playing a game. We were able to bring our dog and there were places for him to get away from the chaos. Hoping to stay there again in July when we come back. Very conviently located too.

Perfect stay for our trip!
We traveled with another family for our daughters dance competition in Lenoir and this house was just what we needed! We loved the openness of the house and the location of the house. It met all our needs! The owner was very accommodating and quick to always to respond to my messages. If we have another dance competition back in this area, we will be sure to book here again. My kids won’t stop talking about how cool it was that the ice machine makes two different sizes of ice! :-) Thanks for a nice stay!

Fantastic
My family and I stayed at this property over Christmas, and could not have been happier. The house was located in a great neighborhood, walking distance from the lake, and a short drive to the downtown area. We are a family of 5, and had tons of room to spread out and relax. The older kids really enjoyed playing ping pong in the converted garage. We were there during 7 degree weather, so the backyard fire pit got plenty of use. When I had a question, the owner got back to me within minutes. I highly recommend this rental and would definitely come back the next time I am in the area!

Family Time
Just up the street from Lake Hickory and a block or two from Geitner Park. Wonderfully quiet neighborhood with a walking trail just down the road. Justin was very responsive and so nice to accommodate our request to check in early to get the dog settled before rushing off to meet family. Such a comfortable, spacious home. I wish we had more time to enjoy it and the area.

We were three women traveling to the area for one night. We felt safe in the home and the neighborhood. The home was just as it was described in the listing.
