Prepaid. we arrived there was no key in the lock box because somebody else was already staying there on a long-term rental.. We had to scramble to find another place to stay after driving 12 hours up from Florida for a wedding. ##### Linda Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Peter Q. May 27, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stay Away from this Property Check-in was at 4 PM. We showed up at 7 PM. I never heard from the owner, but received an automated email from VRBO with the key code to access the keys.The code opened the lock box, but there were no keys in it. We called the owner, but no answer. Left a voicemail, never got a returned call. There was a car in the driveway which I’m guessing was another guest? Either way, it was a big security concern for us.The appearance of the house was also rougher than the pictures implied. The sidewalk from the driveway to the front door was broken and missing one of the slabs. Shrubbery was overgrown, and multiple dead patches of grass.There was also a dead tree stump about seven or 8 feet high in the middle of the front yard. I can only imagine what the inside of this place looked like.Had to book another property since we had no access. It’s four days later, and I still haven’t heard back from VRBO regarding a refund. Total nightmare. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b207f69b-6ec9-4e01-8646-c0cf5509ad56-1748349677755.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3c71b39e-e1c0-4490-a8dd-ef43f69add41-1748349678025.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Peter Q.

Jun 6, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Not very attentive Check- in was late because of unforseen issues with the cleaning company, however after it was resolved no one responded to my messages when I couldn't find something in the house. Luckily we weren't there long. ##### Kristen M. Stayed 3 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rene B. Apr 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous weekend We enjoyed the stay very much.

Mar 30, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The perfect hickory stay This was a house that exceeded expectations. We didn’t even get to enjoy everything it had to offer. It was clean, big, new appliances and very cozy. We’d stay here again specifically if we visit hickory again ##### Joe M.
