The loft was amazing so comfortable and cozy! Karen thought of all the little things you might need . It was walkable to almost everything we did there. Highly recommend!!
This is such a cool space. It's one long room and it's so large that one can be an early riser with lights on in the kitchen area on one end without bothering the sleepy head at the other end. Host was a great communicator and very responsive. It was our third stay here and hopefully not our last.
This is a special place in so many ways! I can't imagine a better name than live like a local! Communication was top rate and thorough from reservation to checkout. The hosts provided daily recommendations for local events and dawning. Every question that I had was answered promptly. There is no measure that was not top rate! We had a wonderful stay and felt like family!
Host was very welcoming. She provided a lot of information about things to do in the area. The loft was in a perfect location. It was nicely renovated, and had everything we needed. Very nice stay!
This is a delightful loft! Right in the heart of town with easy access to everything. There is a reserved parking spot and Karen had great suggestions on where to eat and info about activities that were going on during our stay. Just lovely!
This was the cutest loft. The location was fantastic as you can walk to everything. It was clean, comfortable, decorated beautifully, and had everything you could ever need in the kitchen. Our host gave us a great deal of information to help with our stay, and there were snacks for us to enjoy. By far, one of the best stays we have had and we will definitely come back!
Clean and convenient for our trip to visit family. Kitchen had necessary cookware I needed to cook meals and some nice additions such as spice, bottled water and a coffee bar.
Very beautiful place, just as pictured.
We had an excellent stay in Karen's loft! Everything was immaculately cleaned and smelled great! She even stocked us with snacks and drinks. She thought of everything to help a guest rest easy and enjoy the area. The bed and pillows were so comfy and the decor was eclectic and homey. We thoroughly recommend her and her property!

This was one of the best places we have ever stayed. The hosts were great & responded quickly. The loft was comfortable and homey. The location was within walking distance of restaurants & other venues. We would absolutely stay there again!!
We loved this loft! It was convenient to things to do on foot and a quick trip to Abingdon, Kingsport, and Johnson City! The hosts were accommodating and everything you could imagine needing was provided. We plan to make this an annual trip!
I traveled back to Bristol to be with family for a few days.Staying at the loft in downtown Bristol, reliving all those memories, was magical!This place is beautiful, clean, and a perfect getaway. Even being in the heart of downtown, the loft was quiet, cozy, and had all the amenities…plus some!I highly recommend this stay for a couple, a person on business, or just a wonderful place to getaway for a few days!Thank you to Karen and her team for making my trip great!
This property really deserves an award. Everything was perfect, from the location, to the ambiance, to the personal touches. We hated to leave and plan to be back every year! Thank you Karen!
A home away from home. Extremely well thought out property that gleemed with cleanliness and elegance. Will absolutely stay st the property again. Thanks for a wonderful experience.
Enjoyed a long weekend in this well-appointed loft. It was spotless and had everything we needed. Karen was attentive and quick to respond during the booking process.
We will definitely remember this unit when it is time for us to visit again.
My childhood bestie (of over 50 yrs) & I met up half way to stay at this incredible loft. It far exceeded any expectations with of us had! Cleaner, more charming & cozy, and more fully stocked than any rental I’ve ever stayed in.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & the living like a local experience!We couldn’t recommend more highly! We hope to be back!
The loft was the perfect place for our kid free get away! Location is perfect to all the restaurants and shopping. We only used our car twice during our whole stay, to go to the speedway and to a winery. The loft had everything we needed and more! We literally only needed clothes, toiletries and kitchen, we nicely stocked. We highly recommend staying with Karen.
