Host was very welcoming. She provided a lot of information about things to do in the area. The loft was in a perfect location. It was nicely renovated, and had everything we needed. Very nice stay!
This is a delightful loft! Right in the heart of town with easy access to everything. There is a reserved parking spot and Karen had great suggestions on where to eat and info about activities that were going on during our stay. Just lovely!
This was the cutest loft. The location was fantastic as you can walk to everything. It was clean, comfortable, decorated beautifully, and had everything you could ever need in the kitchen. Our host gave us a great deal of information to help with our stay, and there were snacks for us to enjoy. By far, one of the best stays we have had and we will definitely come back!
We had an excellent stay in Karen's loft! Everything was immaculately cleaned and smelled great! She even stocked us with snacks and drinks.

Clean and convenient for our trip to visit family. Kitchen had necessary cookware I needed to cook meals and some nice additions such as spice, bottled water and a coffee bar.
Very beautiful place, just as pictured.
Another perfect stay at our favorite place in Bristol. Fantastic accommodations conveniently located in the center of all the excitement that is Bristol! Don't miss an opportunity to stay here!
We loved this loft! It was convenient to things to do on foot and a quick trip to Abingdon, Kingsport, and Johnson City! The hosts were accommodating and everything you could imagine needing was provided. We plan to make this an annual trip!
My childhood bestie (of over 50 yrs) & I met up half way to stay at this incredible loft. It far exceeded any expectations with of us had! Cleaner, more charming & cozy, and more fully stocked than any rental I’ve ever stayed in.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & the living like a local experience!We couldn’t recommend more highly! We hope to be back!
This was one of the best places we have ever stayed. The hosts were great & responded quickly. The loft was comfortable and homey. The location was within walking distance of restaurants & other venues. We would absolutely stay there again!!
This property really deserves an award. Everything was perfect, from the location, to the ambiance, to the personal touches. We hated to leave and plan to be back every year! Thank you Karen!
A home away from home. Extremely well thought out property that gleemed with cleanliness and elegance. Will absolutely stay st the property again. Thanks for a wonderful experience.
Enjoyed a long weekend in this well-appointed loft. It was spotless and had everything we needed. Karen was attentive and quick to respond during the booking process.
We will definitely remember this unit when it is time for us to visit again.
The loft was the perfect place for our kid free get away! Location is perfect to all the restaurants and shopping. We only used our car twice during our whole stay, to go to the speedway and to a winery. The loft had everything we needed and more! We literally only needed clothes, toiletries and kitchen, we nicely stocked. We highly recommend staying with Karen.
The Live Like a Local Loft was a wonderful stay. The hosts thought of everything you might need to make this feel like a home away from home! Super clean, comfortable bed, luxury linens, games, DVD’s, CD’S, well-appointed kitchen, toiletries, and on an on!
The other great thing about this property is its location in the heart of downtown Bristol with great shops and restaurants just a few steps away! We will definitely return! I loved this property so much that I have shared the link to with multiple friends/ family!
I have stayed at Live like a local Loft three times now. I stayed in a different unit each time. The units are beautifully appointed, immaculately clean, and provide the guest with everything they need in the kitchen and bath. You feel as if you are in your own home. Karen Hester is very responsive to all messages and is ready to make your stay as pleasant as all three of my stays have been. I will stay here every time I visit Bristol in the future.
Great place to stay. Everything you need is in this loft. It is cute, comfortable and truly has everything. Bed was comfy. Kitchen had every appliance. The place was clean. It felt like a home away from home. Loved how close it was to downtown.
Excellent communication with the host. Responses were fast and friendly. One of the best places we have stayed.
