We've Lower Rates, So Book Your Excursion!
Our modern, but charming, 2BR/1.5BA studio loft is located on the 2nd level of the building and looks over nearby restaurants and shops. The building has undergone a total renovation in 2019 to offer all the newest conveniences and modern comforts, while remaining true to the 1900's charm of the stucture. The original building was a Drug Store and the tile on the lower level entry facing W. Union St. still remains today. Suite 202 offers a fully equipped kitchen, combined living area with bar seating, large leather sectional to relax, and a built in work station if needed. Large windows let in lots of natural light, wood floors, open rafters 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. The unit has cental heat and air, stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, Keurig coffee maker, blender, toaster and microwave. Two spacious bedrooms with king beds. Due to fire and safety codes, the bedrooms do not have doors, but offer privacy drapes. One full bath located between the bedrooms with walk in shower, and a half bath just inside the entrance door. All linens are supplied as well as toiletries, hair dryer, and clothing iron. Easy parking located behind the unit where there is a private lighted entry. Parking directions can be given. Each guest will be given entry door codes to access the unit during their stay. Enjoy a day in Downtown Morganton shopping and dining, or venture out and explore our scenic attractions. Lake James State Park is only a 20 minute drive and there are many hiking and biking trails nearby. The Burke County Tourism Office is only one block away. Ask the owner for more information on things to see and do.

Fantastic Place to Stay

My co-workers/friends and I had business in town, so we rented this VRBO. What a fantastic home! It was modern, clean, and convenient. We loved it, and if you are looking for a place to stay in the area, we all highly recommend this location. The owner was always quick to respond, and we appreciated how easy it was to book, check-in, and check-out. Five stars all the way!

We loved this spot!

We had a wonderful visit to downtown Morganton. Three generations (grandma, two daughters, and one granddaughter) enjoyed the spacious loft, comfy couch, and great kitchen for cooking. We loved walking to shops, restaurants, and great coffee just across the street from the loft.
