Mimzy's Garden is privately tucked away right off of Hwy 127. Perfectly located to Downtown Hickory, Lenoir Rhyne University, Metro Convention center as well as Frye and Catawba hospitals.

Enjoy your own secret garden in the back yard while relaxing with a book or while working indulged in the sounds of nature.



Mimzy's Garden is named for a story that was told to Erin, owner, by her mother as a child. Mimz are tiny people that live in tiny villages underneath the trees. They have a secret place where there are special flowers tied in bows, called "I Love You So's" In honor of her Mother and the story she told, Mimzy's Garden is a reminder to slow down and appreciate those around you as well as nature that surrounds you. You never know, if you look hard enough you may see some tiny villages underneath the trees.



Contact us at any time, we are here to assist you in any way the we can.

Mimzy’s Garden was a nice fit for us while in town for a nights stay. Every was neat and clean. This is an older home but everything was beautifully updated throughout. The decor was tastefully decorated. Our host did a super job adding nice touches to make our stay nice. She had snacks, waters, & coffee. This was so nice since we came in late. The beds slept very comfortably. I am would highly recommend!

Great Location and Cozy Home

We rented this for the weekend for my son’s soccer tournament. This house was well maintain and comfortable for my family of 5. The location was perfect for getting to the fields and spending time exploring Hickory. Host was very communicative and helpful!

Overnight stay

Our family traveled to NC & rented a house instead of a hotel room. Although we were only there for a place to sleep, the home had everything you would need for an extended stay. The home is older but updated. I loved the simplicity & cleanliness of the inside of the home.

Great house

Everything was as expected—nice, clean, updated. We only stayed one night but would have gladly stayed a week. The pack and play was great to have. Plenty of towels and such a nice touch with the bottles of water and snacks. The house was nicely decorated with reliable appliances. Comfortable beds and nice shower. No complaints:)

Nice Experience

We had a good time. Host was kind and responsive. We had to change dates and it was pain free. Property was clean, tidy and functional. Everything worked. Beds were very comfortable. If I need a place of that size in future, I’ll surely consider this property.

Perfect

We needed “a refuge from the storm” for a few days and Mimzy’s Garden was it. As soon as we walked in it gave off strong vibes of comfort and cleanliness. We had to cut our stay due to a family medical emergency in the devastated areas of Asheville/Waynesville NC. Please pray for those people who have lost everything including families, photos and tangible memories. Blessings to all. ……..remember to VOTE for policies not party…..

Lovely Property-Home away from home

I have stayed here twice and feel like its my home away from home. The house has been lovingly decorated and has everything I need for a comfortable stay. The house is always spotless, and the host always has tasty snacks and bottled water for us. It is so nice to have laundry facilities too. The location is so convenient to everything as I have to make many trips to shopping and to LRU. When I visit I am usually working remotely too and the internet works great. The host is very communicative and I always feel so welcome. I usually arrive after dark and the lights are always on for me!

Just Like Home, Great Stay!

Really loved this little home. The pictures do not do it justice. It is an older home with beautiful upgrades. There is a Tv in each room, Not shown in the pictures. The only negative is (or unlike) was the cobwebs on the outside of the windows. I wanted to open my curtains and view the yard but too many webs. But definitely understand it is spring and kind of out of control. Absolutely not one bug in the house. So that's just a suggestion for cleaning the window from the outside. All in all very beautiful home and we enjoyed every minute of it!! WE will be back.

GREAT Property

The house was immaculate. Clean, updated, and nicely decorated. The lights were left on in case we were arriving later in the evening, which was a nice touch to those that do arrive after dark. The only suggestion that I would throw out is to have a "check out" expectation posted on the refrigerator or in an email to the renter. Most every rental we have experienced has that and it helps the renter know what is expected when it comes to the trash, and linens. Dishes should be understood to leave in the dishwasher cleaning/washing. I only suggest that so that people know what they have to do, or what is covered in the cleaning fee. Definitely a "10" out of "10".
