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.

Perfect Blowing Rock Loft - this has been our go to rental for several years when visiting the area; as the location, loft design/appointments, and privacy would be hard to beat.

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.

Lovely loft :)

My mom and I really enjoyed our stay. The owners were very friendly, and the loft was super clean and roomy. We had zero problems, easily walked everywhere, so nice. This was a splurge for us! But the prime location with private parking, lovely and clean interior, and cozy beds and couches were worth every penny. It seems right in the center of busy downtown but was still very quiet at night. Very happy we were able to stay there!
