    This loft has a private entrance. Loft entrance is in the rear of the property. We have a dedicated parking lot and loft entrance is up the back wooden steps.

    Other things to note
    Our loft is located on the second floor. Only 26 steps up to the Bordertown Loft.

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

    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 very high cleaning standards, but you may find the naturally occurring brick dust occasionally. In the loft you will find exposed ceiling beams and lots of character throughout.

    -Anytime Fitness
    -YMCA & YWCA

    -Breathe Yoga Studio adjacent to our parking lot

    -Grocery store located less than a mile away
    -hair salons & barber shops

Great spot for us to stay while fishing. Love the adaptive reuse of the old building and leaving all the brick and rafters exposed makes for a really cool space. Will def stay again.

Great stay!

Karen was very helpful with our stay as we had to move it back a week due to weather. The place was very nice and clean. We had a personalized welcome basket waiting on us and plenty of information of what there was to do in town. There was also snacks, coffee, and things to use for cooking. This was nice bc as you know it can be aggravating buying stuff for just a few days somewhere. All in all, it was a great stay at a great place. Highly recommend.

So comfortable!!!

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!!!

Five Star Plus

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.

Reunion

Stayed at the loft with my best friend from high school for our 40th HS reunion. The place was amazing! Walking distance to all our venues and everything imaginable was available for our needs at the loft. Karen made sure you won’t need for anything. Next time I’m in Bristol I will be staying here. Thank you Karen for providing everything for my amazing weekend! :-)

Back in Bristol

We love visiting Bristol!Hiking, fishing, walking down town, checking out the comedy club, Borderline Billards and a little time at the casino.The condo was amazing with a State Street walking availability to almost everywhere. We had space, privacy and everything that was needed "in case we forgot something" with other extras that made it extra special.Karen left a note with a personal message that made the weekend even more special. Communication was easy and filled with information about restaurants, activities and special locations to see and investigate. We kept busy!We will be back. Thanks for a great weekend

Would book again in heart beat

One of the best prepared VRBOs we have stayed in. Everything stocked with even extras you would not expect. If we ever need to stay even near Bristol again we would book here and be disappointed if someone else beat us to it. Only thing to be aware of is you are right on top of downtown. Great to walk and explore what etc unit can be a little loud at.night. The box fan in the closet provided the perfect amount of white noise for us and no real issue with A good nights sleep. Book without a hesitation. It’s a fantastically well run VRBO!

Great vacation rental

One of, if not the, best all-around vacation rentals we've had. The owners are the best, respond immediately to any questions, and also own the store next door. Spotlessly clean, comfortable beds, and fully stocked kitchen. Condo had everything you could need, including extra toothbrushes and other toiletries in case you forgot something. Owners provided a few bottled waters and lemonade and a variety of snacks. We definitely would stay here again if we return to Bristol. Full disclosure: there is a little street noise (mostly people talking after leaving the bars) late on Friday and Saturday night, but instances were brief. And to be expected in the heart of the main street in town.
