PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION AND THE POSTED RENTAL AGREEMENT (WHICH SHOULD POP UP AT BOOKING BEFORE PAYMENT) BEFORE BOOKING. We enforce our rental agreement! WE SUGGEST YOU GET TRAVEL INSURANCE FOR THOSE UNEXPECTED TRAVEL SURPRISES. This description is to help you decide if this property is a good fit for you.
Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, The Hickory House is under a mile from downtown Pickens and near the NC and Georgia borders. Pickens is close to Greenville, Anderson, Clemson University, Bob Jones University, Golfing at The Rock at Table Rock, Lake Keowee, Jocassee State Park, Jones Gap, close to Greenville International Airport. The neighborhood is extremely quiet! All sleeping pillows on beds are encased in allergy cases. The mattress is encased in an allergy barrier and topped with a waterproof mattress pad. The number of made beds will correspond with the number of people at the time of booking - for example: married couple, one bed unless a request for two is made - extra bed fee will apply. There's a Vizio TV for streaming, or air antenna TV for watching. Have breakfast on the spacious deck, or spend a quiet evening relaxing, sipping wine while listening to the sounds of the night. There's plenty of FREE parking in the driveway, and FREE WiFi to all guests for your entire stay! Complimentary snacks upon arrival. There is a dual GE water filtration system under the kitchen sink for filtered water at the sink. In addition there is limited breakfast fare in the freezer/fridge, K-cups, ground coffee, and teas; once exhausted, you will need to supply your own. Let us know if you're celebrating a special occasion!! :-) The Hickory House DOES NOT permit smoking or ANIMALS anywhere on the property; No exceptions as owners are highly/deathly allergic, and one has severe asthma! You WILL be billed the cost for processing if this rule is violated; it costs thousands of dollars to make it safe again for owners. WE DO NOT SPEED WASH LINENS; they go through a full cycle, extra rinses and a laundry disinfectant is used in every wash. Vinegar is used for fabric softener. From the mattress pad, everything on the bed, door mats, blankets, pillows, pen/pencils, all fan remotes and blades, lamp/switches, info binders and all pages, floors, door jambs and surrounding walls, inside of windows and their locks and much more, is either washed or sanitized! All living room furniture is wiped down as well as the table and chairs in the kitchen. The return air vent has a HEPA filter, and an organic Thymol fogger is used for the duct system; there are filters in every register which are cleaned between each guest. Everything in the spice pantry is disinfected for the next guest as well as the fridge itself and its contents. If the table has a tablecloth and has been set, everything is clean, and the table was set the day before your arrival; feel free to make full use of them; please do not worry about soiling the tablecloth (if there's one) as it is stain resistant, waterproof, and gets washed between guests. We don't just pay attention to the big cleaning stuff; we remember the tiny details as well. We have sets of linen for beds so they may vary from what is shown in pictures. Please note that although the listing says contact-less check in; owners will stop by after your inspection of the property to say hello and make sure you are satisfied with the accommodation. We are only a few doors away....really. This is the country, watch out for wild life, watch where you step, and please remember, as with the operating of any exterior door open, bugs etc. will get in - it's nature :-) IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO SEND DOCUMENTS TO US, WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO ASSIST BUT YOU HAVE TO RESPOND TO US IN ORDER FOR US TO HELP YOU! Read the posted rental agreement and ask questions before booking.
PLEASE READ THE RENTAL AGREEMENT!
