Suite 201 offers a fully equipped kitchen, large sitting area with distant mountain views, large bath with walk in shower, and comfy king bed. Large windows let in lots of natural light, original wood floors, and exposed brick were retained in the renovation process. The loft is also home to art, commissioned by local Folk Artist Charlie Frye of Folk Keeper Gallery, specific to Burke County Landmarks.

loved the location

Loved the location! Nice friendly town and great places to eat and drink. the town has weird hours though so many places are closed at certain times but that is how they are there. Loved the loft the only thing I would ask them to fix is the shower head. You need a new one, that's an easy fix. The other thing that they should do is file some of the brick nails down in the shower so no one gets hurt leaning up on the wall.

Beautiful condo & great location!

I was in town for a half marathon and wanted a place to relax where I could walk around downtown. This loft was so beautiful, well appointed, and comfortable! I will def stay again. I had a little trouble getting into the unit (user error - the instructions were perfect), and management got back to me asap and checked in on me later. Absolutely lovely trip!
