We had a great stay. The apartment was great and Karen was the nicest host we've ever stayed with.

Perfect location. Lodging exactly what was needed.

We absolutely loved our stay in the quaint downtown Bristol. Our line dance team was hired for Country Thunder Bristol, and wanted to stay in downtown Bristol. The loft was amazing, and a great place to stay. Karen was very communicative and her rental was stocked with so many accommodations.
Would 100/10 recommend staying here!

The entire loft is very nice and clean.

Pictures are spot on. Place was so clean and beautiful. We could have just brought our clothes. Fully equiped with anything we needed and then some. Just walk down the stairs to shops, food and drinks. Everyone was wonderful. Might have to visit here again.
10.0
Let me just say, Karen hits a home run with this place. Her communication is unmatched and the place is an absolute gem. My only negative comment is location (for me). It is right on state street and motorcycles (90% Harley’s) come through at all hours and it’s simply a function of a loud motorcycle basically riding in a “canyon”. But if you like to be in the mix near the hotspots of Bristol, this is 100% your place to be

Place is immaculate. Fully kitted kitchen everything you can think of is supplied in the loft.

We are beyond impressed with the comfort and beauty of this loft and the attention to detail of everything that we could have needed. The furniture and bedding are so cozy and we slept very well. The kitchen was perfect and stocked better than any other VRBO I have ever stayed at before. If we ever return to Bristol, we will definitely stay here again. We rate it 10/10!!!

If I could give more than five stars I would. The loft was beautiful and the hostess had everything you could possibly want. The town of Bristol was also very nice and the shops downtown had a little something for every taste. Will definitely be staying again. We attended the NASCAR races and the location was perfect we were back to the loft within 20 minutes once race was complete.

Great location and clean unit.
10.0
This rental deserves more than 5 stars. The space is impeccably clean, fresh and up-to-date. As nice as the pictures look, in person the loft is even more impressive with the exposed brick walls, high ceilings and big windows overlooking State Street. The furnishings are stylish yet comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped and everything is in excellent working condition. The hosts have provided everything needed for a relaxing stay and included many additional conveniences like multiple charging stations and even umbrellas in case it rains. The hosts were friendly, attentive and responsive. Our stay exceeded our expectations and we look forward to returning.

Place was amazing! The owner has thought of everything from phone chargers, to ponchos!! She is also very accommodating when it came to us needing to check in a little early. Definitely be back

I've never been in a more well-stocked rental. Karen thought of every possible thing we might need and then some.
The space was lovely and the beds very comfortable.
Highly recommend!

We have stayed with Karen at this property before and as usual, it was an awesome weekend. Our son attends King College in Bristol and so when we visit, we try to stay in this unit. It has become just like home. This weekend, I cooked for my son and some of his team mates - the kitchen is well appointed with everything you would need. The space is always clean and the furnishings are well kept and up to date. You can literally walk right in and feel like you are at home. Thanks Karen for always being so accommodating to our needs and conscientious of the upkeep of your property.

We stayed for a few days while we closed on and moved into a house nearby. We loved the location (right on the heart state street) and were very happy with the apartment itself. We loved the renovations and restoration that had taken place. The apartment felt very welcoming and relaxing. We will definitely be recommending it as an option for overflow guests when we have a full house!

When I first saw the pictures of the Loft on the site, I was struck by how comfortable and contemporary everything looked. I knew we would enjoy the location, and we weren't disappointed.
All of the little things you take for granted when you're at your own home were provided. Karen even left a couple of beers in the refrigerator!
We've already talked about visiting Bristol again, and we know where we will be staying!

We were leaving our oldest at college for the first year and so it was a transition. The property was “just like being at home”. Everything we needed was there, it was very clean and extremely comfortable. We will definitely return.

Great in Every Way
The loft was beautiful, very clean and stocked beyond expectations. The location was perfect...within easy walking distance to everything on the lively and vibrant State Street. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Bristol.

Family Race Weekend
The loft was everything pictured and more! Karen and Monica thought of everything to make the space feel like home. Immaculate and plenty of room for our family of 3 to spread out. Comfortable furniture and beds. Kitchen was fully stocked including spices and a few snacks and refreshments which was great after our long drive into Bristol . Location was great. Walking distance to shops, restaurants, pubs, mini mart and 20min ride to the speedway. Couldn't ask for more. We will highly recommend and plan to stay again.

Christmas on State St.
This is my second stay in this beautiful loft. As expected, everything was perfect, right down to the little Christmas tree! We made dinner for our extended family on Christmas Eve and every kitchen item we needed was readily available. There was plenty of space for our family to spread out, which is important with adult children. My husband already asked if we’ll be staying there again next Christmas.

Wow! This loft is beautiful & immaculate! Karen even stocked snacks & basic toiletries, more than enough linens, & comfortable furniture & beds. Easy check-in & check-out. Almost didn’t want to come home! ♥️

Top Notch
Not sure you could convince me that there’s a nicer place to stay in downtown Bristol. Loft is beautifully done and immaculately clean. Hosts went above and beyond to anticipate needs and provide thoughtful touches of hospitality. Great neighborhood, lots of food, drinks and shopping options directly on the streets below. Five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Gorgeous Loft!
Check in was no contact and so very easy! Upon entering the loft I was amazed at how clean and gorgeous the accommodations were! They paid attention to every detail, from toiletries, to drinks and snacks! It's located in a central location and I could hear awesome live music until about 11pm, it was wonderful! Don't hesitate to book, do it now!

A Weekend to Remember!
My friend and I absolutely loved everything about staying in the loft! There was never an item that we needed, that we couldn’t find. There are so many thoughtful touches; white noise machines, multiple phone chargers, spare toiletries, cold drinks in the fridge and snacks. The kitchen is extremely well equipped. The location is phenomenal. We opened the gorgeous floor to ceiling windows in the evenings to listen to the live music from the street below, and it all ended around 11, so didn’t keep us awake. Everything is within walking distance. I cannot say enough good things about the loft! While I was there, I booked it for Christmas! That’s how great it is! Book it! You won’t be sorry.

The Best Location in Bristol
This was our first time to stay in Bristol. The Loft was everything described in the listing and more! Such a great location overlooking State Street. It was very clean and cozy. It’s within walking distance of some great restaurants (620 State and Angry Italian) and don’t forget the fudge at The Southern Churn! We will definitely book again.

Outstanding experience...perfect in every way!
Clean, clean, clean! Beautifully and tastefully decorated. The restoration retained the wonderful, classic look and feel of the history of the building and town itself. Great parking, location, amenities, thoughtful extras, everything needed was there. Karen was prompt with communication and a great hostess. We will be back!

Bordertown Loft
Bristol is a lovely town, but the Bordertown Loft is the true gem of this area. This is a 100 year old building that has been restored so beautifully. No detail has been neglected. Everything you need is carefully thought out and available at this loft. The decor is lovely, and the view of State Street from the bedroom windows was the best! My husband and I frequently rent VRBO properties, but this one tops them all. This loft Is located so close to Virginia and North Carolina that it was easy to explore so many areas. I am very picky when it comes to rentals, but this place was spotless. You can tell that Karen works very hard to keep everything beautiful. Do not hesitate to visit Bristol and the Bordertown Lofts. Karen is super nice and these lofts are the best!

THERE IS ONLY ONE PLACE TO STAY IN BRISTOL!
This is my second stay at Karen's loft. For some reason I was unable to tell everyone about this gem after my first stay. Now I get my chance. I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Bristol. Karen's detail in hospitality is beyond all expectations. I travel frequently and have not seen a host put this much thought and effort into MY accommodations.
My first visit I reserved the wrong room. Karen made sure I was taken care of. Last weekend I had a request, and without
hesitation Karen responded. She made my stay more than flawless. I truly don't know what more she could do to make my stay. The loft is comfortable, the beds are comfortable, the shower is fantastic. I stayed with my son the first time. He loved it. I was back with my wife and she loved it. You won't be disappointed.
Thanks so much Karen. Take care.

The Bordertown Loft was awesome for so many reasons. The loft was exactly as pictured...had all amenities needed for a short or long stay. And, if you forgot it, more than likely the owners thought of it. So very clean and safe. All made for an enjoyable trip.
