LiveLike a LocalLoft, Downtown,Bristol’s Heartbeat

This was one of the nicest places I have stayed. The loft was very clean and the owner thought of everything. Very good communication. We would definitely stay there again.

Very pleased with finding this loft and the host. Should have booked sooner as we were in town for another day but loft was reserved. Better knowledge for next trip!

Wonderful location . Great place. Super attention to details. Lovely

The property had everything you would need. It is a great space in the middle of downtown Bristol and walkable to everything. Communication was A , as well.

The absolute best rental property I’ve ever stayed in… this was 2nd visit!!

Best place to stay with the best hosts. Messaged that we would be in later than expected and they made sure we didn’t show up to a dark loft. We were so impressed and so grateful from moment one of our arrival. Karen and Monica thought of everything. Every little detail, things you might have forgotten were available and the instructions provided and labeling of the light switches was brilliant! We cannot wait to return. Highly recommend 100/100 best stay ever. Thank you for making our time at loft 3 an incredible experience and a fun memory.

Loved all of it! 5 stars!

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE HAVE STAYED HERE...WE LOVE IT. KAREN WAS GREAT...

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!

Everything was perfect-every little detail thought of. From the welcome card (and candy bar) to the little marshmallows for hot chocolate. We felt totally at home. What amazing stay and an equally amazing host!

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!

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!

Beautifully arranged, comfortable room, super location, very clean, well accessorized with everything we needed for a wonderful stay!

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!

Beautiful loft. Host goes above and beyond. Only reason I rated a 4 instead of 5 was because the beds were so soft neither my husband or I slept well. Figure it’s personal preference but outside of that, OUTSTANDING!

The loft was amazing!!! The host provided for every need down to shampoo and a fridge stocked with sodas and water. It is a beautiful property, well decorated and exceptionally clean. The area has quant shops and cool restaurants with plenty to do. We will be back!

This has the be the coolest spot in Bristol It was our second visit and we love this loft! As long as we're young enough to climb the stairs, we'll keep coming back. Karen is the best and offered some great suggestions for local restaurants and activities.

Love this place! So relaxing with everything you need. Would stay again!

THE BEST!!!!!!

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!

I felt like home the second I walked in the door. The condo was well-equipped. Everything I needed and more was there! The host was an absolute gem - I felt like I had so many questions and she was always so quick to respond. There was a handwritten welcome note on the counter… extra toiletries for anything forgotten… even umbrellas in case of rain (which we did need!). Everything was just so well thought out. The location was amazing. Just a quick walk around the building and you’re right there on Main Street with so many shops, bars, restaurants and things to do. We walked everywhere and loved every minute of it! We can’t wait to stay again.Thank you!!

A vacation from a vacation. My wife and I had just spent two weeks with the kids and grandkids doing the tourist things in the area. Going to Pigeon Forge & Dollywood.Had plans to fish but the lake was so low you could walk out to the middle of it. So after two weeks of vacation time with the kids, I said you want to see what's up in Bristol TN. since we have never been to the area. And the only thing that raised a bell with me was Talladega & Daytona.So I did a Vrbo search into Bristol and saw outstanding loft photo. And I can tell you what you see is what you get. A Hilton or Sheraton Suite has new furniture. The Boutique Bristol, opens its arm's and gives you a Hug. And the locations is excellent, it was fun to stroll up and down State St. and I went went into the meddle of the road and took my own Bristol Sign Photo as sun-set, and yes I did have a lookout... 1 to 10 , it's a #10 - Enjoy.

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!

We had an excellent experience. The loft is clean and comfortable and the location is perfect

Loved the location and atmosphere

Super cozy and clean!

This rental had everything we wanted & more. The owners gave so much attention to detail that there wasn’t anything that I reached for that wasn’t there. The location couldn’t be better for a stay in downtown Bristol, allowing you to walk to tons of restaurants & small business shopping. An example of attention to detail: sound machine & earplugs for sleeping, a ceiling fan but also a box fan available for comfort. It possibly has the best stocked kitchen of any rental I’ve stayed in, the furniture is all in great shape & comfortable & the decor is very tastefully done, as well. We would, & already have, recommend this to anyone.

To our fellow travelers: Like us, you've stayed in every kind of lodging out there, and you've experienced a wide range of surprises and satisfaction levels. You've been delighted by the unexpected treats and luxury touches, and you've been disappointed by the unexpected bugs, dust or clutter. Entering the Live Like a Local lofts hosted by Karen and Monica in Bristol, expect plenty of the pleasant and have no dread of the disappointing. We stayed in Loft #3 for six nights, and I constantly marvelled at how clean it was and how much thoughtfulness went into the details of this charming, comfortable downtown getaway. From the coffee and tea supplies to the variety of snacks, from the ample supply of towels to the courtesy toiletries, from the warm, fluffy throws and comforters to the detailed TV streaming instructions, from the white noise machine and earplugs to the spacious closet, from the sunny outside deck to the private laundry facilities - you get the picture - these ladies have provided everything you need to truly settle into a relaxing time away. And the setting? Truly the heart of picturesque historical downtown Bristol, totally walkable to a variety of quaint, local shops, restaurants and breweries. Treat yourself and build some memories in this welcoming little haven.

I have stayed at Live like a local Loft three times now. I stayed in a different unit each time. The units are beautifully appointed, immaculately clean, and provide the guest with everything they need in the kitchen and bath. You feel as if you are in your own home. Karen Hester is very responsive to all messages and is ready to make your stay as pleasant as all three of my stays have been. I will stay here every time I visit Bristol in the future.

Not only is the property absolutely beautiful and perfect location… the owners of the property are so wonderful to make sure you have everything you need and feel welcomed. Definitely would be staying again when coming into Bristol!!!

An absolutely amazing stay. EVERYTHING was beyond perfect!!

No complaints at all. We loved this place and plan to come back again

The loft is absolutely perfect. My wife and I loved our stay. The host is great and communicated throughout our stay to make sure everything was as it should be. We will definitely be back. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a place to stay in Bristol.

The Live Like a Local Loft was a wonderful stay. The hosts thought of everything you might need to make this feel like a home away from home! Super clean, comfortable bed, luxury linens, games, DVD’s, CD’S, well-appointed kitchen, toiletries, and on an on! The other great thing about this property is its location in the heart of downtown Bristol with great shops and restaurants just a few steps away! We will definitely return! I loved this property so much that I have shared the link to with multiple friends/ family!

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!

This beautiful loft had every amenity available and was so close to State Street.

My husband says wonderful! Thanks so much.

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!

Get place to stay! Beautiful loft and a great host!

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!!
