Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Hickory

Great location! They were very responsive any time I sent them a message. They were proactive and turning the heat on in case we needed it for the cool spring mornings. Very clean and welcoming! Thank you for sharing this beautiful house with us!

We used this place to gather a few folks from our church to plan for the new year, and it was a great spot to hang out and work from. There is excellent wifi, easy food options, and a great kitchen since we mainly ate in. It is a great historic home.

I really enjoyed my stay at Heather's place. I stayed there for a good, long while because I was escaping the snowy North. I had everything I needed and any time I had questions or was in need of something Heather was super quick to reply. The house was clean and comfortable. I loved the fenced backyard. The location is really pretty perfect. It's so close to good food, shopping, hiking, mountain biking and so many other activities! But what really made it a 5 star stay was Heather. She is a wonderful host. She's very friendly and easy to talk to. She's also thoughtful and kind. I can't say enough good things about her and about the stay.

Perfect location for us to fish! Lots of parking room. Thanks Deb! Hopefully be back next year!

My niece’s wedding was this weekend. We booked a hotel but unfortunately it was 35-40 minutes away. Last minute I checked AirBnB and found this place 5 miles away. Like I said, last minute, so I messaged Tyler and told him it would be after midnight before we arrived and ask if that would be a problem. He responded within 3 minutes and said , not a problem at all. Not only was it not a problem, but he also went down that night and turned the outside porch lights on for us. The pictures really didn’t match the place, and that was a good thing. To us, the house in person was much bigger than we had expected from the pictures. Super clean, and Tyler was way easy to work with. I’m originally from that area but have lived in Nashville Tn for the past 25 years. Definitely booking this place when I return for family visits instead of the Hotel downtown I normally book in Spartanburg. Way more room and cheaper by the night. Quite impressed and definitely my best AirBnB stay to date!

This property will take you back in time...we had plenty of space for all 6 adults to enjoy Easter together. Kitchen was well equipped for cooking. Back porch was great spot for watching the sunrise and front porch was enjoyed throughout the day.

Very convenient to the Whitewater Center, clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. I especially appreciated that the house wasn’t cluttered so there wasn’t much for my toddler to mess with.

Wonderful place to stay! Thomas was helpful and responsive. The home was clean and cozy, with nice privacy for being so close to the city. Nice little touches included labeled light switches, waffle bar (we didn’t use, but it looked great!), game cabinet, comfortable beds, and good water pressure in shower. Would stay again and recommended to anyone, especially families (that bedroom off the master area was so nice for a kids space!)

Lima and Michael’s place exceeded my expectations! Everything was well equipped and clean, just as pictured. Lima was very good at communicating with me, which I really appreciated! She answered all of my questions quickly and thoroughly. I would definitely recommend others to stay at her beautiful place.

Rene was such an awesome host! The apartment looked incredible and welcoming for the holiday season. I truly enjoyed the conversations and fellowship we had. I give the airbnb a ten star! Hope to go back there one day!

Please note that it is located directly across the street from the Cannon Baller Baseball stadium. When there is a game, you will hear all of the PA system announcements clear as someone sitting next to you. It was not that annoying though.

Brian and Erica's place was really in a great location. They communicated well and responded to our questions quickly. Their place was a nice simple home with all your needs. It was great they labeled everything out so you know what to expect.

Melodie's place is a slice of heaven if you're looking for a peaceful hobby farm retreat. Around every corner were new discoveries whether the beauty of the landscape or the animals in their various living spaces around the property (horses, cows, chickens, couple friendly cats, and sweet welcoming dog Shelby). If you have time for a walk to the woods you'll be treated to a bubbling brook w a bench beside it for some contemplative time, not to mention flowers to gaze at all along way. We hadn't really been aware of the sauna (maybe it's in the listing and we missed it) but it's an incredible treat if you can find time one evening to check it out. There's even more than the exterior beauty and sauna treat, but I'll let you discover some surprises on your own. Ideally, you'll spend several days so you can take it all in. Melodie's family incl husband + kids were so nice + made us feel at home. Our stay was A+++ and we hope to return. Worth driving a little farther for this GEM.

Absolutely perfect. Cozy downtown apartment feel. Everything was very clean and comfortable and the burger shop downstairs was so delicious for a diner feel. We walked around everywhere and there was so much to do! We felt safe and the place was absolutely beautiful and had little local elements which were so charming. No complaints about anything! A word of warning- the autumn forest puzzle in the apartment is SO HARD and that’s coming from a seasoned puzzler. I had to give up :’( Thank you so much for having us!

We had a great stay! It was very clean with all the listed amenities and true to the photos. We felt right at home. There was nothing we needed and I have nothing but positive feedback! We will definitely keep this place in mind again for a future stay when we return. 😁

We were only there one night but it was just what we needed. Quiet and clean and very comfortable. Robbi was extremely nice and accommodating. She even had such nice touches for our dog from a bone to a bowls already set up with water. We will stay again when in town.

The place was amazing and comfy, my family loved the view from the apartment and we spent a great time in Grandfather Mountain! The host was very kind and really helpful. We’d love to rent this place again in the future — (10/10)

We loved the cabin! We were a family of 2 with small children and the space is perfect for us! The location is unbeatable just a few walks to the bunny slope. The kids had fun sledding down a small area outside the apartment building. The cabin has everything you need. From cooking, cleaning and laundry. Board games for family entertainment and so much more! Did I mention it has the most stunning view of the Ski resort? Eva was a great host too. Communication is top-notch! She was very nice and answered all my questions. We locked ourselves out the cabin and she was prompt in helping us out. I 100% recommend this cabin if you need a family getaway at Beech Mountain!

This was our second year at Sugar mountain and first time at Allan’s place! The kitchen was well stocked and I was able to bake my homemade treats. Lots of pots and pans for your stay! The place was very spacious and the view well it’s just immaculate. Would stay again! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your home!

Views are insane and this place was clean.

Our group (two couples) had a wonderful time at Nicole’s condo. We have stayed at a few other places at Chetola Resort. Nicole’s place was the best. The inside was spotless and had many added amenities that went above what was expected. It’s a corner unit with a nice view of the pond. The condo is located in a prime location for exploring Blowing Rock. It’s an easy walk into Town, the mall, and Cone Manor Park. Overall, a great value!

This is a charming and well-maintained condo. We were impressed with the efficient design. Lots of attention to detail has gone into the decor, the furniture, and the general layout. It’s not a big space so making it feel like it isn’t cramped shows how thoughtful the hosts have been. And speaking of, they were probably the most proactive and responsive hosts we’ve stayed with. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Liz and Chris have a wonderful condo, the walk to the slopes is very short, and they have a private locker available on the slopes to store ski gear, which makes the walk even easier.

Though it’s close to the main road, you need four-wheel drive in winter to get to this condo. We got stuck and could not reach the condo- ended up driving to the next town for snow chains as that was the only way to get there. It’s a nice place and very close to Beech Mountain but important to be aware of accessibility in winter.
