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.

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.

Gorgeous Loft!

We loved our stay at The Drugstore Loft! We were so excited when we walked into this unique space. The loft was spotless and well equipped with everything we could possibly need. The beds were so comfy and the shower was amazing. The location was perfect and our 17-year old daughter loved all the nearby shops. We will definitely stay here again when our travels bring us to the area.

Perfect Place and Location

This loft was amazing! It was extremely roomy, and cozy! We loved the shops and places to eat within walking distance. Lots of variety to choose from. Karen accommodated us on very short notice. There is also a state park about 20 minutes away that we visited. For a last minute trip and booking, this place exceeded our expectations. Thank you!

Awesome, small town loft with NYC vibe

I loved this property and will definitely be back. We enjoyed our Thanksgiving break here and had so much fun walking to all of our favorite places in town - Swede's for breakfast, Libba's for shopping, Brown Mountain Bottleworks and Fonta Flora for beverages and Food Matters for groceries (and lunch!) It's a wonderful kitchen for cooking with the perfect island for snacks, cocktails and conversations. I love the overall aesthetic, it has everything you need to be comfortable. The beds were very cozy and I slept so well. We made many good memories as a family here. Super grateful!

Absolutely surpassed our expectations!! Conveniently located in the heart of Morganton and beautifully decorated. The huge kitchen and 1&1/2 bathrooms were stocked with plenty of towels, soap, cutlery, basic spices, cooking utensils and hairdryers. Whoever designed this lovely loft is very talented! The artwork on the walls, exposed brick, professional steel work and gorgeous countertops were very well done.We would highly appreciate this very spacious, comfortable and well appointed space!

The is the second time I have visited this property. My first visit was to the one bedroom loft. Each loft is spacious with large bedroom(s), great bath area, well-equipped kitchen area, and comfortable living area. I love the location. It is at the heart of Morganton's shopping and historic downtown district which is quaint and quiet. It is only a short drive to The Rock Spa Barn in Conover. This is what originally attracted us to this rental property. I have fallen in love with this area of North Carolina. I hope it is the second of many trips to come.Side note: While in Morganton, make reservations at the Root and Vine. Food, drinks, and service there are excellent.
