Thank you so much, Karyn! Hope we can host you again soon! :)
Jennifer, the host was amazing! Very clear and responsive….everything was super easy and streamlined! She was incredibly accommodating! Gorgeous place right in the downtown of Kingsport! Lots of great places(food, drink, entertainment) to walk too!
Beautiful loft in the best possible location to walk to shops and restaurants. The history of the building is fascinating and the thought put into decorating and providing all the extra touches ensures we'll be back on a regular basis.
This place is amazing! Besides being beautifully decorated, comfortable and so very clean, you cannot beat the location of this loft. Everything you you could need (coffee, food, wine, beer, Pal's) within walking distance and/or in the same building! The hosts were very friendly as well. You can tell they really put their heart and soul into their rentals. Such a wonderful stay!
Beautiful loft! The online pictures depict it well, but it’s actually even NICER in person! Do not hesitate to book this. Everything was clean, comfortable and cozy! Terrific 2 bedroom, with a pullout bed. Tons of space. Stayed with my husband and 2 teens. Everyone was happy. Awesome, convenient location. Owners FABULOUS to work with…organized, friendly, responsive, and hospitable.
