Amazing loft in a perfect location! We were able to walk to most everything we had planned! Karen is absolutely the best host! Her attention to detail is point on!
Loft beautiful, very clean, owners thought of everything, umbrella and rain ponchos at door for your use, coffees, snacks, over counter medicines, it was perfect! Great location! Professional decorated.
This place was outstanding!! It was clean, well maintained, well equipped, and the location was perfect (within walking distance to everything downtown)!!
The loft was extremely clean and perfectly located. We had a wonderful time in Bristol TN/VA and we will definitely be coming back and staying in the lofts.
I've stayed at a lot of rentals, and this one was the best-equipped place I've ever stayed at. They thought of everything and made it available. It's a beautiful, comfortable place in a great location.
This was our second time staying in the loft. We stay here because we feel like we are at home. The location is great and the loft has everything we could possibly need. We have already discussed our next stay!
This loft is not only beautiful and fully equipped, but the hosts are wonderful, accessible and provide special personal touches, they clearly have a lot of pride in this beautiful place and love what they offer, and they include local info to ensure a wonderful experience. The rooftop deck adds an extra special area to enjoy the evenings and mornings. We recommend this place 100%!!
We absolutely loved this property. Located in the center of town it's convenient to everything yet still feels tucked away and quiet inside. The decor is unique and the thoughtful amenities make it feel like home. We would love to return!
The downtown loft is a perfect location when visiting Bristol! The loft is clean and has everything you will need. The owner is very responsive if needed.
Our Host and the property were amazing! Everything you could need has been thought of already. It's beautiful and exceptionally maintained! The location to all things downtown Bristol was perfect - no need to drive anywhere if you don't want.
Everything was as you would hope when choosing a place to stay. Hosts added so many thoughtful touches and thought of everything a visitor might need. Quiet, clean, great location and well equipped. Easy to communicate with hosts and a fabulous loft!
We have stayed at the loft before and enjoyed it so much we decided to stay again while visiting family. Anything you could possibly need during your stay is provided and then some. Karen has thought of every little thing and we will stay anytime we visit Bristol in the future. It truly feels like a home away from home.
Our initial interest was to visit the Burger Bar and not knowing the area we wanted somewhere close. WOW! What a beautiful place and Karen was absolutely the best host! Everything we needed and more was right there and her suggestions of places to eat and visit were great!
This was a very nice place to stay! It was very clean and smelled wonderful! It also had everything you would need and more! The property manager was very helpful, ready to assist in anyway we needed and checked on us during our stay. The place was actually very quiet, even though it was in the center of downtown. Would definitely stay there again!!

This loft is an absolute gem! Everything you would ever need for your stay has been provided. Rooftop deck was a great outdoor living extension to the condo. Great location for everything downtown. Ice cream and candy store on the first floor was fantastic also.
This was a beautiful little corner in the world. We enjoyed the location, convenience to downtown Bristol. The loft was spotless and had everything you needed. Five stars for sure.
The host Karen was extremely helpful and friendly.
We had a wonderful stay. We were out and about most of the day but did all of our own cooking instead of eating out. There is everything you need plus some! The bedding was great and I really appreciated all the throw blankets and comfy pillows. You can tell that Karen has thought of every scenario. You won’t wish you had anything… all the little things you may forget to pack, don’t worry… she’s got you covered and it’s probably there! Hopefully we can come back someday.

Absolutely perfect loft!!!
Without question this is the best place we have ever rented. From the moment we walked in the door we felt welcomed and happy. The loft is impeccably appointed with beautiful furnishings and so well equipped. The host has payed such attention to detail. It was spotlessly clean. The online pictures don’t do it justice. We formed great memories here that my husband and I will look back on with fondness for many years. If you have the opportunity to rent this place, you will not be disappointed!
We came to Bristol for the nighttime NASCAR race. We absolutely loved staying at the loft in a town that has so much history and character! The loft was approximately 10 min from the speedway.
Karen was so helpful prior to check-in and during our stay! The only negative is our stay was to short!
We will definitely be coming back and will be sharing this VRBO site with all our friends and family!
The property is just as described. The host Karen is excellent. She checked on us by email and text to make sure everything was okay. Lots of little extras.
My wife and I stayed in Loft #2 (Urban Living) for 2 nights and the living environment exceeded our expectations. The spacious, well designed/decorated living quarters provided comfort and the gracious host supplied coffee, snacks, toiletries, etc. to add unexpected convenience to an amazing experience.
We were able to walk and enjoy a variety of quality restaurants for our meals and take an easy 20 minute drive to South Holston Dam for a breathtaking nature experience. Parking was convenient as well.
I highly recommend Urban Downtown Living Loft #2 to anyone seeking to enjoy Bristol. You will not be disappointed.
We will be back ! Thank you
The property was bigger and even nicer than it looked in the pictures. Karen thought of everything including providing written notes on how things work, bottled water, spices, tums and even incidentals in the bathroom. The place was spotless and included nice linens and plenty of blankets. The location on the strip was great. We felt very safe and were able to walk from the loft to good restaurants, coffee shops, bars bakeries and antique shops. I recommend staying here and going to fudge shop under the loft as well as Bear Necessiteas for great lattes! I worked from the loft for 3 days and had no issue with internet connectivity or finding food and coffee. When not working, we were able to explore a few nearby lakes and caves. No matter what brings you to the area, this is a great place to stay and has everything needed!
