The Loft
Love The Artist Loft. The location is perfect. It’s an easy walk to all Blowing Rock has to offer. The loft is so pretty but it’s comfortable. The kitchen is big and has everything you need. The bedrooms are well done with nice linens. And the bathrooms have plenty of towels. I’ve stayed several times and it’s always a pleasure to work with Susan and Gaines Kiker.

Exactly What We Knew We Needed
The property was a perfect fit for the four of us - two couples. We shopped, did puzzles, watched movies and football, read, and ate most meals at local restaurants. We walked all over Blowing Rock and encountered wonderful people and excellent service every where we went. What a blessing our time at the Artist Loft was for each of us. Thank you!

Thanksgiving in Blowing Rock
Had a wonderful stay. Was a very nice loft apartment. It has a huge open area that includes the living room, dining room and kitchen. Enough seating to have other friends or family staying in Blowing Rock to come over and have a night in. Had a wonderful breakfast nook for 2. The bedrooms were great. The master bathroom was very spacious and a pleasant surprise. It is located about 100 feet off Main Street which allows you to walk everywhere downtown and not need a car. 100% recommend and we intend on booking it again.

Best Location in Blowing Rock!
Third time staying at this location, and it never disappoints. Well designed and beautifully appointed, the home is steps away from everything Blowing Rock has to offer. You can’t beat the location, as we always enjoy being within walking distance of many restaurants and shops as well as some local hikes. We will absolutely book this home again, now planning our trips to Blowing Rock specifically around its availability.

Great Location, Comfortable and Well Appointed!
I booked the loft for a trip with my mom and sister to celebrate my Mom's birthday. We had a perfect stay. The loft was extremely clean, comfortable, full of natural light and very nicely furnished. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms clean and fully equipped with everything we needed. We loved the location. Private but very close to the shops and restaurants. I hope to stay there again with my husband next year! The only downside was the twenty steps to the second floor. Luckily my 80 year old Mom is in good shape but they could be challenging with luggage for some seniors.
