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.
The cutest building brought back to life
Bristol bagel located across the street. It was highly recommended and did not disappoint.
Bristol sign just east of the loft - a must see.

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 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!

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!

Fantastic!!

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!!

Boutique in Bristol

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.
