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

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

Great Stay, Generous Host!

We absolutely loved our stay in the quaint downtown Bristol. Our line dance team was hired for Country Thunder Bristol, and wanted to stay in downtown Bristol. The loft was amazing, and a great place to stay. Karen was very communicative and her rental was stocked with so many accommodations. Would 100/10 recommend staying here!
