Our Downtown is very walkable. The loft is located in the heart of Downtown Bristol. If you have your own vehicle, we have a dedicated parking space during your stay. There is also Uber/Lyft service. There are rental cars available at the Airport, and there is limited bus transportation Downtown.

Our loft is located on the 2nd floor - only 26 steps up to the Live Like Local Loft!

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

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

Coolest stay in Bristol
This place is amazing! They thought through every detail. It was comfortable, spacious, trendy - a great place to hang out day or night. The kitchen was fully equipped. Being right on State Street, we parked once and never had to drive again during our stay - in easy walking distance to restaurants, dessert, and shops. I posted a question on the app after we arrived, and she responded immediately. We hope to return and stay even longer next time. Thank you for being such a wonderful hostess!

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.

Living like a local
Living g Like A Local loft is amazing. You’re in the heart of downtown Bristol, TN…. Food, music, great local shops, farmers market, bakeries, all within walking distance. The beautiful apartment is in the center of it all … yet, the second floor patio allows you to chill with a cup of coffee or glass of wine and take it all in. Our host Karin has thought of all the ‘homey touches’ that embrace the phrase ‘southern hospitality.’ The apartment is gorgeous, private and has ALL the comforts of home!

If this is how locals live, they're living very well! So many touches that just made everything easier--tea, coffee, snacks, toiletries--we lacked for nothing. And it was truly in the heart of downtown Bristol--we could walk to the Birthplace of Country Music, the Paramount Theater, and multiple restaurants. Thanks for having us.

Hidden gem
This place was such a surprise. I can’t say enough good things about it. Place was immaculate. It was clean and well equipped for a long stay. They had seriously thought of everything. Karen was very good on communications. I had a last minute change which was no problem. Location in Bristol itself was great with lots of good restaurants and coffee shops right there not to forget the ice cream shop right by the stairs in the back. Thank you very much

This loft was Amazing!! As soon as we walked in the door we went into total relaxation mode. Lights on, soft music playing immediately said Welcome. The decorative touches were spot on and we could sense how much thought and care had gone into the loft. Everything we needed was provided..toiletries, snacks, tea, games, snacks!! It was also a great location. We walked down the steps and turned the corner to get to any shop, or restaurant we wanted . We met our gracious host, Karen in one of her cool shops below the loft , Cranberry Lane, and she gave us many tips for things to do. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend in Bristol and can’t wait to return for a relaxing weekend in this beautiful loft. Thanks Karen for all you do to make it special!
