Gorgeous Loft!

We loved our stay at The Drugstore Loft! We were so excited when we walked into this unique space. The loft was spotless and well equipped with everything we could possibly need. The beds were so comfy and the shower was amazing. The location was perfect and our 17-year old daughter loved all the nearby shops. We will definitely stay here again when our travels bring us to the area.

Perfect Place and Location

This loft was amazing! It was extremely roomy, and cozy! We loved the shops and places to eat within walking distance. Lots of variety to choose from. Karen accommodated us on very short notice. There is also a state park about 20 minutes away that we visited. For a last minute trip and booking, this place exceeded our expectations. Thank you!

Awesome, small town loft with NYC vibe

I loved this property and will definitely be back. We enjoyed our Thanksgiving break here and had so much fun walking to all of our favorite places in town - Swede's for breakfast, Libba's for shopping, Brown Mountain Bottleworks and Fonta Flora for beverages and Food Matters for groceries (and lunch!) It's a wonderful kitchen for cooking with the perfect island for snacks, cocktails and conversations. I love the overall aesthetic, it has everything you need to be comfortable. The beds were very cozy and I slept so well. We made many good memories as a family here. Super grateful!

The is the second time I have visited this property. My first visit was to the one bedroom loft. Each loft is spacious with large bedroom(s), great bath area, well-equipped kitchen area, and comfortable living area. I love the location. It is at the heart of Morganton's shopping and historic downtown district which is quaint and quiet. It is only a short drive to The Rock Spa Barn in Conover. This is what originally attracted us to this rental property. I have fallen in love with this area of North Carolina. I hope it is the second of many trips to come.Side note: While in Morganton, make reservations at the Root and Vine. Food, drinks, and service there are excellent.

Fantastic Place to Stay

My co-workers/friends and I had business in town, so we rented this VRBO. What a fantastic home! It was modern, clean, and convenient. We loved it, and if you are looking for a place to stay in the area, we all highly recommend this location. The owner was always quick to respond, and we appreciated how easy it was to book, check-in, and check-out. Five stars all the way!
