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!

Bristol Hidden Gem
If you appreciate art, history, and quaint environs, I highly recommend this beautiful loft. You can sense the pride both TN and VA have in protecting the integrity of State St. shared by both states. The shops, the fooderies, the historical buildings are such a fun experience. Our loft was precious! We felt at home and loved the surroundings of vintage and modern collectibles decorating the place. The bed was super comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, and the modern conveniences well maintained. We highly recommend.

Coolest stay in Bristol
This place is amazing! They thought through every detail. It was comfortable, spacious, trendy - a great place to hang out day or night. The kitchen was fully equipped. Being right on State Street, we parked once and never had to drive again during our stay - in easy walking distance to restaurants, dessert, and shops. I posted a question on the app after we arrived, and she responded immediately. We hope to return and stay even longer next time. Thank you for being such a wonderful hostess!

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.

Living like a local
Living g Like A Local loft is amazing. You’re in the heart of downtown Bristol, TN…. Food, music, great local shops, farmers market, bakeries, all within walking distance. The beautiful apartment is in the center of it all … yet, the second floor patio allows you to chill with a cup of coffee or glass of wine and take it all in. Our host Karin has thought of all the ‘homey touches’ that embrace the phrase ‘southern hospitality.’ The apartment is gorgeous, private and has ALL the comforts of home!

If this is how locals live, they're living very well! So many touches that just made everything easier--tea, coffee, snacks, toiletries--we lacked for nothing. And it was truly in the heart of downtown Bristol--we could walk to the Birthplace of Country Music, the Paramount Theater, and multiple restaurants. Thanks for having us.
