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.
