Other things to note

During the warmer weather there are several live music events, so there is a potential for noise. However, there is a city ordinance that all music must end at 11 pm.

This building is over 100 years old and we have beautifully restored it. You will find lots of charm with a modern flair! We have preserved the original brick walls in the loft. We have very high cleaning standards, but you may find the naturally occurring brick dust occasionally. In the loft you will find exposed beams in the ceiling and lots of character throughout the loft.

We have several fitness centers located close by that offer daily rates.
-Anytime Fitness
-YMCA & YWCA
-CrossFit 423 located across the street
-Breathe Yoga Studio adjacent to parking lot
-Grocery Store less than a mile away
-Hair Salons & Barber Shop
-4 Craft Breweries Downtown
-many local restaurants in walking distance

We have a 2-night minimum for Race Weeks & Rhythm & Roots Music Festival. We use Airbnb Smart pricing and rates increase during peak times like Rhythm & Roots Reunion and the two NASCAR race events throughout the year.

Our customers tell us they enjoy this apartment's walkable location. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Paramount Center for the Arts. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the apartment.

What a GREAT place!

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!

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!

Living Like a Local in Bristol, TN

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.
