The Loft

Love The Artist Loft. The location is perfect. It’s an easy walk to all Blowing Rock has to offer. The loft is so pretty but it’s comfortable. The kitchen is big and has everything you need. The bedrooms are well done with nice linens. And the bathrooms have plenty of towels. I’ve stayed several times and it’s always a pleasure to work with Susan and Gaines Kiker.

Exactly What We Knew We Needed

The property was a perfect fit for the four of us - two couples. We shopped, did puzzles, watched movies and football, read, and ate most meals at local restaurants. We walked all over Blowing Rock and encountered wonderful people and excellent service every where we went. What a blessing our time at the Artist Loft was for each of us. Thank you!

Thanksgiving in Blowing Rock

Had a wonderful stay. Was a very nice loft apartment. It has a huge open area that includes the living room, dining room and kitchen. Enough seating to have other friends or family staying in Blowing Rock to come over and have a night in. Had a wonderful breakfast nook for 2. The bedrooms were great. The master bathroom was very spacious and a pleasant surprise. It is located about 100 feet off Main Street which allows you to walk everywhere downtown and not need a car. 100% recommend and we intend on booking it again.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Kiker

I opened up shop in Blowing Rock in 1994 as a Silversmith/Goldsmith.

Why they chose this property

After renting several properties in town, I decided it best to build my own studio/gallery. The plan included a working studio, retail space, and The Artist's Loft home above.
