As avid travelers, the ArtistLoft in Blowing Rock exceeds all other stays that have ever done. The cleanliness; accommodations and location could not be topped. They have thought of everything to make your stay memorable. I also appreciate that they do not skimp on the quality of the bedding, linens and furnishings.

Best Location in Blowing Rock!

Third time staying at this location, and it never disappoints. Well designed and beautifully appointed, the home is steps away from everything Blowing Rock has to offer. You can’t beat the location, as we always enjoy being within walking distance of many restaurants and shops as well as some local hikes. We will absolutely book this home again, now planning our trips to Blowing Rock specifically around its availability.
