Our business held our staff retreat here while running basketball camps in the area. The proximity to the great downtown area, amenities, and attention to details made it one of the best VRBO experiences I’ve ever had!
My daughter and I stayed for a week while we were handling some family business. Our mornings were glorious as we walked through the community to Central Park and up Main Street. The location is convenient to the parks and restaurants; the backyard is comfortable for relaxing morning and evening; the kitchen stocked well; the bedrooms comfortable and stylishly decorated. I would definitely choose this property again for a MIlford visit.
From the moment we walked in the door, we felt at home and welcomed. The property was clean, well stocked and perfect for our weekend getaway. The fresh cookies were amazing and the kiddos want to stay here every visit to Milford. We loved our experience and will be back soon. Thank you Brandy for your amazing hospitality!
This was the perfect spot for our girls night. We enjoyed every part of the house and yard. The fire pit was the perfect touch to the cool night. One down side was that we only stayed one night. Thank you, Brandy, for a wonderful and beautiful place to stay!
What an amazing home! They have thought of every little detail. This has been one of the best homes we have stayed at. Such nice extra touches and fantastic location ❤️
Overall the house was in great shape. There were many nice touches, like snacks and coffee, everything in the bathroom was organized and labeled. The location is perfect. The only drawback is having just one bathroom.
This house was set up for anyone coming in from a long drive and needed time to get settled in. Perfect location to drive anywhere or stay in Milford.
Owners go above and beyond to make you feel at home and the details like cookies made it perfect.
Hickory House was more than we expected. Many little details to make you feel welcome. The proximity to downtown was great! The only thing is I wish there would have been 2 bathrooms. We had a wonderful time.
Cozy, comfortable and excellent location!! Could not had been better! Thanks so much for letting us check in early! We had the best time ever! Everything about the property was charming! We had an amazing time! Thank you!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay! We selected this rental to attend a local wedding and made it a long weekend. This house is adorable, super clean, and the host has thought of everything a group would need to have a comfortable and entertaining stay. The coffee/tea bar, locally brewed root beer on tap, cozy family room with soft blankets, comfortable bedding, and wonderfully stocked kitchen! We walked into Milford to shop and eat and enjoyed a day at Kensington Park a short drive away. Brandy was amazing and so accommodating for everything we needed!
The home was comfortable and clean in a nice location, had everything that we needed (and more). We are grateful to the host who was generous with her availability and assistance. Thanks for all.
The Hickory House was the perfect place to stay while in town for a family reunion. The house is on a quiet street in the beautiful community of Milford. A short walk to the downtown area for dinner was very convenient and the long walks to see the historic homes were fulfilling.
The Hickory House had ample room for my crew, and everything in the home was well appointed and amazingly comfortable. We will absolutely be back to Hickory House to make more memories! Brandi is a wonderful host, thoughtful, responsive, and the property was exceptional!
This was the perfect spot to stay! Kid friendly( had a step stool in the bathroom for kids to reach the sink, toys and games for kids to play with, great backyard to run around in!) This is a beautiful home, great amenities, comfy beds! The adults in our group loved the hot tub! The hosts were so kind and so great! We were really glad this house was within walking distance of restaurants in beautiful downtown Milford! Can’t say enough nice things about this home!!!!
This is a beautiful home within walking distance to downtown Milford. It’s very clean and beautifully decorated. The backyard is surrounded by mature trees and it’s very serene to sit on the deck. Linens were of excellent quality as are the mattresses. The neighborhood feels extremely safe and quiet. The host left us a delicious batch of homemade cookies and a welcoming note. Everything was in good working order and the home was stocked with any toiletries you may need. We hope it ’s available for our next trip to Milford!
Brandy has a wonderful home with walking distance to all the bars and restaurants in Milford! The attention to detail is impeccable...there are chargers on every nightstand that will charge all of your devices, from phones to headphones to laptops to iPads. The amenities in the bathroom are plentiful, the kitchen is will stocked and the home is gorgeous. The hot tub on the deck was the true hit with our kids, who couldn't get enough of it!!! Brandy is an amazing host who cares about you and your stay and strives to make you comfortable. This is just what Milford needs!!!! Thank you for everything!!!
