Back in Bristol

We love visiting Bristol!Hiking, fishing, walking down town, checking out the comedy club, Borderline Billards and a little time at the casino.The condo was amazing with a State Street walking availability to almost everywhere. We had space, privacy and everything that was needed "in case we forgot something" with other extras that made it extra special.Karen left a note with a personal message that made the weekend even more special. Communication was easy and filled with information about restaurants, activities and special locations to see and investigate. We kept busy!We will be back. Thanks for a great weekend

Barter Theatre and Billard Trip

Incredible loft. Spacious. Clean. Beautiful. Host has anticipated every need from extra towels, to blankets to cuddle up with, games to play, and coffee to drink on the deck. There was even an adorable bunny coffee cup ( it was Easter weekend) to set the tone. Also, so many great restaurants in the area and things to do. Took a trip to the casino and visited several mills ( lots of history here). Saw a great play at Barter in nearby Abingdon and came in 4th in pool tournament. This was one of the best vacations I have ever taken. Highly recommend.

Great stay!

Karen was very helpful with our stay as we had to move it back a week due to weather. The place was very nice and clean. We had a personalized welcome basket waiting on us and plenty of information of what there was to do in town. There was also snacks, coffee, and things to use for cooking. This was nice bc as you know it can be aggravating buying stuff for just a few days somewhere. All in all, it was a great stay at a great place. Highly recommend.

Would book again in heart beat

One of the best prepared VRBOs we have stayed in. Everything stocked with even extras you would not expect. If we ever need to stay even near Bristol again we would book here and be disappointed if someone else beat us to it. Only thing to be aware of is you are right on top of downtown. Great to walk and explore what etc unit can be a little loud at.night. The box fan in the closet provided the perfect amount of white noise for us and no real issue with A good nights sleep. Book without a hesitation. It’s a fantastically well run VRBO!

Great vacation rental

One of, if not the, best all-around vacation rentals we've had. The owners are the best, respond immediately to any questions, and also own the store next door. Spotlessly clean, comfortable beds, and fully stocked kitchen. Condo had everything you could need, including extra toothbrushes and other toiletries in case you forgot something. Owners provided a few bottled waters and lemonade and a variety of snacks. We definitely would stay here again if we return to Bristol. Full disclosure: there is a little street noise (mostly people talking after leaving the bars) late on Friday and Saturday night, but instances were brief. And to be expected in the heart of the main street in town.
