11/10! Best VRBO experience by far! Beautifully decorated, perfect location, and the hosts thought of literally everything! Cannot recommend enough, will be back!
The description is excellent and the place lived up to everything as described and even more. Karen, the host, is excellent and the thoughtful touches in the unit made this one of the most comfortable and relaxing VRBO stays we've ever had. The layout is great, location is excellent (restaurants/bars/shops/museums steps of
Karen’s apartment was the perfect cozy hideaway while festing in town for the weekend! By far one of the best appointed and decorated places we’ve rented and location can’t be beat 😀 we will definitely be staying here again!
Everything about this property was perfect. Karen was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed, the apartment included so many little extras to make us feel comfortable and at home, and the central location allowed us to explore and access all the local stores and restaurants. I recommend it to anyone.
Had a wonderful time in this beautiful loft! It has anything and everything you could think of and very clean for sure. The street noise at night was a bit of a challenge, but they even provided ear plugs!
Absolutely the best place to stay. Very Clean, comfortable beds and couches, and stocked with everything you will need for your stay. Karen stayed in close contact with me and answered any questions I had with quick response. It's the best place I've ever stayed and will be the first place I look for my next trip back.
The property was great and perfect location. Property owners have thought of everything you might need and then some. Hats off to your cleaning crew, probably the best kept and cleanest VRBO we have stayed in by far!!
The loft was amazing and was equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. This was our second time staying in one of Karen’s properties and we were not disappointed. We can’t wait to try out another one!
I make frequent trips to Bristol. This visit was significantly highlighted by staying in this downtown loft. The loft is well located, very well furnished but had a bit(or more) of "Bristol" ambience to top it all off. Great hosts. Would love to stay again if the opportunity arises.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
This is a great place! Very comfortable, cozy, well decorated. The only down side is road noise and homeless people making noise at night (never felt unsafe) but that goes along with being downtown. Very well stocked, quick with communication, and overall highly recommend. Will definitely stay again!
This conveniently located two story loft has a cozy and sophisticated feel within a generous space.
Every detail was considered for guests to be comfortable, entertained and well informed about the local area.
The communication from start to finish was timely and clear.
We’d definitely book again!
Our first time in Bristol and the property exceeded our expectations! The location is central to everything, it is fully stocked with all you need, it is very clean and the communication w/ the property manager was outstanding. We could not have had a better time and would only consider this property if we were to visit again. As for activities - Creeper trail, Comedy Club, Rooftop bar and Blackbird Bakery were all outstanding!
If you’re looking for a fabulous stay in Bristol, look no further than the Mountain Music loft. Your hosts Karen and Monica have thought of absolutely everything to make your stay unique, memorable and comfortable. This loft is full of surprises. Hands down this is my favorite Vrbo stay with the best hosts. Our hosts communicated with us every step of the way. The loft was immaculate! Kudos to the housekeeping staff.
This apartment has the wow factor in bucket loads! It was spotlessly clean, attention to detail was on point if your a music lover you must book! It was super stylish and Karen was an excellent host. She was so helpful and was really quick when communicating. We feel this apartment is really special and would highly recommend.
My friend and I gathered from two different areas of the Midwest to see my son who is an athlete at King. What a beautiful place to gather and catch up with him! We were very impressed by the great decor to all the extras found in the loft. Medicine, extra batteries, charging stations, mints…you name it. The beds are comfortable. The location cannot be beat with so much to see, eat and do in the area. We also enjoyed the outdoor seating provided. Thank you for your quick response to my questions. I would recommend this to all my friends.
What an absolutely wonderful place to stay. We would give 10 stars if it would be possible. We have stayed in 50+ vacation rental units, and none compare to the attention to detail that Karen has displayed in her ideally located loft on State Street in Bristol. Everything was simply perfect from the condition of the unit, the cleanliness, and the amenities. The care taken with this 100+ year old building is remarkable. Karen was so attentive and communicative. Come and enjoy. A private parking space is provided and easy check-in as well.
The on-line photos didn't do justice to the loft! It was gorgeous, comfortable and a great vibe. When we arrived, the mood was already set with a wonderful radio station and relaxing lighting.
Check-in was super simple, in fact, Karen actually greeted us as we arrived. I messaged her a few times just for recommendations and always received a prompt response.
The location was perfect, great restaurants, bakery, shops and a distillery that was just a short walk away. The only downside to the location was that it was right across the street from a pool hall that got a little rowdy at night. We never felt unsafe, just a little noisy :)
We definitely hope to visit again!
This is one of the most unique and beautiful places I've stayed with a vacation rental. The decor is meticulous, creative - the photos don't capture just how big, spacious and well-decorated it is. The bed is very comfortable, sheets very soft. The loft is a great place to work and settle into a great movie. The kitchen had everything I'd imagine wanting - and the coffee, the water provided,...the popcorn and amenties in the bathroom went above and beyond. I also received helpful directions, recommendations for places to go. I loved the communication from the owners. Other than the noise on the streets at night (its a small downtown street that seems to have motorcycles or loud cars cruise in the evening) - everything about this loft/condo and location is fantastic. I highly recommend.
We finally decided to stay in Bristol for a week instead of simply staying overnight on the way elsewhere. Once we saw the Mountain Music Loft photos, it was difficult to consider other properties.
Every interaction with Karen (the host) from that point on was perfect, and we were even more excited about our upcoming Bristol Adventure. Before arrival day, she ensured that we knew what to expect, and on arrival day, she provided some tips on nearby restaurants, and Southern Craft BBQ was perfect after the long drive down from the DC area.
From the moment we walked into Mountain Music Loft, we were stunned by the attention to detail paid to every little detail of the property. That proved to be truer and truer each time we noticed another little touch or bonus amenity that Karen's team so carefully included to ensure a great experience.
We take several 'car trips' per year and love to cook and feel at home to the degree possible. We have a 'VRBO Kit' that comes with us. This includes decent cooking pans, cooking utensils, spices, linens, and other items that are missing from most VRBO properties (or what they have is second/third-hand and not useful or sometimes just scary).
Mountain Music Loft seemed like a dream come true since we could easily have left our 'kit' at home and had everything we needed and more.
There is so much more that we could say about Mountain Music Loft and Karen, but the 1500 characters are running out.
Just go ahead and book it and enjoy Bristol!

Ritz Carlton of Lofts!
This loft in my judgment is 5+ stars!
There is no need left unattended to, the loft is immaculately clean and exceeded our high expectations! We have had the opportunity to do much traveling throughout the United States and stayed in high-end locations. This is up there with the highest! SO well done with the modern renovations while keeping the age of the building intact. I laid awake at night marveling at the old beams, woodwork, craftsmanship and brick laying of such an old building. It was a comforting experience to fall asleep to. ❤️
Upon arriving and after 15 minutes of looking around, I requested a booking for the following year. I did not want to take any chances that someone else could book it.
The owners of the loft are so caring and helpful in regards to not only their property, but surrounding locations of eateries and activities to do in the area.
They also have other lofts available for rent and I would encourage anyone that is within the Bristol Or surrounding areas to stay here.
I was in town for a WPBA pool tournament at Borderline Billiards which I also would recommend, for a really nice time out.
I had my son and adult grandchildren to visit and stay overnight. They were blown away by the loft! As well were the other women in the tournament who came over to see why I was raving.
For transparency, I had never met, nor knew of the owners before I rented this unit. We live in south Florida. I did however have the pleasure in meeting them both during our stay. Genuinely kind folks!! Felt like old friends.
