About this property
Historic Downtown Morganton Loft w/ Original 1900's Charm/Walk/Shop/Dine
Our modern, but charming, 1BR/1BA studio loft is located on the 2nd level of the building and looks over nearby restaurants and shops. The building has undergone a total renovation in 2019 to offer all the newest conveniences and modern comforts, while remaining true to the 1900's charm of the structure. The original building was a Drug Store and the tile on the lower level entry facing W. Union St. still remains today. Suite 201 offers a fully equipped kitchen, large sitting area with distant mountain views, large bath with walk in shower, and comfy king bed. Large windows let in lots of natural light, original wood floors, and exposed brick were retained in the renovation process. The loft is also home to art, commissioned by local Folk Artist Charlie Frye of Folk Keeper Gallery, specific to Burke County Landmarks. The unit has central heat and air, stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, Keurig coffee maker, blender, toaster and microwave. All linens are supplied as well as toiletries, hair dryer, and clothing iron. Easy parking located behind the unit where there is private lighted entry. Parking directions can be given. Each guest will be given entry door codes to access the unit during their stay. Enjoy a day exploring Downtown Morganton or venture out to near by Lake James and hike the Fonta Flora Trail or Linville Gorge. Ask the owner about the many fun things to do and see while in Historic Morganton. The Burke County Tourism Office is just a block away.

The apartment was super clean and had everything I needed for my stay! I loved the high ceilings, the shower, all the appliances were very nice and new, clean!I would recommend it and would stay there again. KP
My husband I stayed here after our wedding for one night before our honeymoon. The property was very clean and the room was very comfortable and nicely furnished. Great location in downtown Morganton. Would highly recommend this property!
We had a great stay at the Drugstore Lofts! The apartment was clean and beautiful! Morganton was centrally located to Hickory, Asheville, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. We enjoyed a Friday night concert in Morganton’s central square. We will definitely stay again!
Came for a wedding and stayed here. The loft is beautiful. The entire place was very clean , bed was very comfortable.Perfect space for 2 people. Easy access to a lot of shops and restaurants. The host was very easy to deal with. We really enjoyed our stay !
In town visiting family. Location was great! Convenient for walking to the movies or restaurants. The Christmas lightts on the streets were an added bonus. Loft is a great mix of historical, industrial and contemporary. Very spacious and comfortable!
Needed a comfortable place to stay for me and my wife while visiting family in town over the holidays. The apartment is so comfortable - especially the bed. The location made for convenient walking to the square and shops. The space was a nice oasis with all the creature comforts. Will definitely be renting again for future visits.
Just a few days… assistance at check in and customer service with the internet issue was really perfect.
Make sure there is a good kitchen sponge available for dishes.
Please kill that BIG SPIDER over the sink 😀.
Really nice - hope to stay there again…
My wife and I stayed here for the third time in the last six months while visiting family. We love this place - it is perfect for two people. It's convenient and comfortable. Communication with the Host is excellent. Amenities are top notch. You won't be disappointed.

Loved the location! Nice friendly town and great places to eat and drink. the town has weird hours though so many places are closed at certain times but that is how they are there. Loved the loft the only thing I would ask them to fix is the shower head. You need a new one, that's an easy fix. The other thing that they should do is file some of the brick nails down in the shower so no one gets hurt leaning up on the wall.
