About this property

Bottled in Bond: Transportation available/Center of Bourbon Trail/ HGTV location

This swanky loft has so many WOW factors your eyes will be dancing! Enter the setting through the vintage revolving door or conveniently on the elevator and arrive on the scene of this character-packed accommodation. The owners have transformed this late 1800s space from what was once a clothing factory into what looks like a scene from a James Bond movie. You’ll enjoy features from its former glory such as original trusses, exposed brick and hardwood floors. And the updated details will blow your mind.

Beautiful property, good location

This property is one of a kind. It is hard to beat. Very clean, perfect for a large group of friends. Amenities in the glass enclosed rooms were tough (like no dresser drawers or place to store make up and whatnot) but certainly manageable for a few nights.

Great stay, great location. Unexpected visitor

Our stay was great and very convenient for our wedding. There was a tour of the venue that we were given a heads up about. However, while touring the venue the employee brought people into our VRBO while people were changing, getting prepared or occupying the space. We didn’t mind the venue being toured but the tour of our private space unannounced seemed inappropriate.

Only Suggestion is to improve the music system with Sonos or similar system with speakers around the loft! Sounds from Television are not same as stereo and dampen the mood!

Amazing Loft!

Property was very clean, comfortable and unique. I was celebrating my birthday with friends and family and enjoyed the unique space. With three of the 5 sleeping spaces not actual bedrooms, privacy was limited. Two of the three bathrooms were in the 2 bedrooms which made for limited use. The firepit in the center of the living space was amazing a great area to sit and talk. We had an issue with private limo service which we booked for a day of sight seeing. Owners refunded. I would definitely visit again.

This place is everything

We stayed here with a group of friends while doing the bourbon trail. It was everything we hoped for and then some. I love finding cool and unique places to stay. This one tops my list for now. If you have some time visit the little deli across the street called McKinley's. The food is to die for. Also, the coffee shop down the road called the paddock makes a great cup of coffee and a decent muffin. Do yourself a favor and stay here. No regrets.

Gorgeous Loft!

Even better in person! Surprised my husband for his 50th birthday and had an amazing time using the loft as our base to tour the Bourbon Trail. Plenty of space for 4 couples — 5 would work as well but makes it tough with only 3 bathrooms and not a lot of counter/extra space in bathrooms. The circular fireplace is awesome!! We loved hanging around in Loft, and being able to walk around downtown to the restaurant and shops is a big added bonus! Highly recommend!

Bottled in Bond Loft: The Real Deal

While some "lofts" are simply manufactured titles, this is the real deal. What looks like an original industrial space in a turn of the century building has been transformed into a fantasy meets reality experience. The amenities are glamorous and upscale. It is the perfect place for large groups to gather in a convivial setting while still having room to spread out. Guests should be able-bodied, as the elevator is only available during business hours. Highly recommended!
