Our modern, but charming, 1BR/1BA 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 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. The unit has cental heat and air, stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, Keurig coffee maker, blender, toaster and microwave. All linens are supplied as well as toiletries, hair dryer, and clothing iron. Easy parking located behind the unit where there is private lighted entry. Parking directions can be given. Each guest will be given entry door codes to access the unit during their stay.

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.

Perfect!

Needed a comfortable place to stay for me and my wife while visiting family in town over the holidays. The apartment is so comfortable - especially the bed. The location made for convenient walking to the square and shops. The space was a nice oasis with all the creature comforts. Will definitely be renting again for future visits.

Great stay in Morganton!

We had a great stay at the Drugstore Lofts! The apartment was clean and beautiful! Morganton was centrally located to Hickory, Asheville, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. We enjoyed a Friday night concert in Morganton’s central square. We will definitely stay again!

Just a few days… assistance at check in and customer service with the internet issue was really perfect. Make sure there is a good kitchen sponge available for dishes. Please kill that BIG SPIDER over the sink 😀. Really nice - hope to stay there again…

First class decorating

I felt like I’d walked into a restoration hardware catalog. Very unique property , attention to details inside excellent. Well equipped in every way. Only negative is entrance area a bit run down, garbage totes steps from entry stairs. Smart key into unit a bit finicky, but in the end worked. (One other note: no cable/satellite as stated in description, means no “regular “ TV unless you have streaming account.)

Nice place, historical, right in heart of downtown

The process was easy. The building was historical and had nice local paintings decorating the hall and apartment. The apartment had most everything you would need - fridge, Keurig, oven and stove. I had no contact with the owner in person and she has a good system for check in and out. There was another tenant in the apartment across the lobby but we didn't see each other much. The floor in the hall is old so you do hear the other tenant coming and going but it was minimal. It was a great experience.
