This VRBO was perfect in every way…exactly what was advertised….the owner communicated with often and took time to recommend restaurants for us…smack dab in the middle of Bristol…we were able to walk everywhere…This is a place I would stay at again and definitely recommend to others…Well worth the money…
Everything was top notch. The location is perfect in the heart of State Street and it is a very welcoming and well.maintained property. We will absolutely stay again.

The Cozy Urban Loft was the perfect spot for our weekend trip to Bristol. Charming old brick with all the amenities provided by our host were over the top. This will be on my favorites list and the only place I stay when we travel to Bristol.
In the heart of downtown Bristol. Close to everything you want to do, yet still quiet and cozy when the day is done. Very well appointed, very clean space, amazing hosts. Would definitely stay again.
Fun loft apartment which was stocked with all kinds of treats and coffee and toiletries. We plan on staying here again when the opportunity arises.

Try one of our other lofts for your next exploration in Bristol/Tri-cities. Each is a little different and unique.
The property is super comfortable and well maintained. St. George is beautiful and was a respite frm all the snow. The home is warm, comfortable, clean and dog friendly! Would stay here again!

Very nice unit. Not very many restaurants on State Street.
The loft was beautiful and comfortable! The owners thought of anything that you could want or need and had it available. Great restaurants in walking distance.

Jimmy, it’s always a pleasure to host you during the holidays!
My best friend and I rented this listing for a girls weekend in Bristol and couldn’t be happier! The loft was even better than described. All of the tiny details (slippers, charging dock, extra toiletries, complimentary waters / coffee & snacks, etc) really made our stay cozy and a true home away from home. I highly recommend staying here!

Booked this wonderful stylish loft a couple days before our trip to Bristol and the process was a breeze. Karen was friendly, responsive, and quick to answer any question I had. The space was very clean and I truly loved the meticulous design of the loft. All of this and the many personal touches make this a 5+ star space. Thank you for a lovely getaway!

This property was AMAZING! The loft was absolutely beautiful and was beautifully decorated. Karen and Monica have thought of everything! I could honestly have left half the stuff I brought at home because they provided SO many things I usually have to carry with me (cell phone chargers, alarm clock, night lights, extra pillows, etc). And the location is perfect! I am telling all my friends and family about Bristol and telling them to stay at one of Karen and Monica's places!

Thanks Renee for your detailed review of our Cozy loft! We would be glad to host you again in the future. Your review will help others to determine if this loft will work for their stay when in our beautiful area.
We've stayed allot of places and I'm not overstating this is the best Loft, if not one of the best VRBO's we've had the pleasure of staying.
Hosts have the decorating bug and have their Loft chock full of eye appealing vignets and usable spaces.
They also have completely stocked amenities in kitchen , (snacks, coffee, cold drinks) and bath items (toiletries, etc).
I would most definitely stay here again if the opportunity arrises. Thank you so much,! ♥️

This property was just like walking into your home. Everything you needed was there. From personal needs to all the kitchen supplies you need. Keurig & regular coffee maker. Coffee & tea with all the condiments. Nice soft throw blanket to relax with and slippers in the bedroom nightstand. Washer & dryer with soap and dryer sheets.
Cooler with wheels for any outings. Karen just has everything you need just like home.
Impeccably clean and quaintly decorated. Very quiet and safe. Will definitely be staying again next year in one of Karen's lofts. Karen also checked in to see if there was anything we needed and again reached out after we checked out.

About the host
Hosted by Karen Hester
I am an entrepreneur who is always looking for new business opportunities. I love architecture and I bought several buildings and historically restored them and built residential lofts on the upper floors and opened retail stores on the bottom. I have and ice cream & Fudgery, home decor & gift shop and a Country Store. I love living in Bristol where our buildings are located on the State Line. Bristol is divided by the yellow lines in front of our buildings, Bristol, VA on one side & Bristol, TN on the other side. Bristol is known as the Birthplace of Country Music and on any given night you can find several places to listen to live music. Come stay at one of our properties and let us show you some first class Southern Hospitality! See you soon, Karen & Monica. #DestinationDowntownBristolLofts
