Great location in Valley Junction- such a cute area! The loft had everything we needed. We hosted a shower at The Venue below and the loft was the perfect spot to get organized. The kitchen had plenty of space, dishes, pots and pans, and utensils to use. Living room couch very comfortable and there was plenty of space (using kitchen chairs) to have a few family members up after the shower. Bathroom was also well stocked and included a box of tissue, which I always appreciate. Communication with owners was great. Can’t wait to book again so I can take advantage of all the shopping and dining options in the area! ##### Suzette Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lori S.

It’s very clean! And the host has excellent communication. I would stay here again. Parking is great during the day. You have to move it though for the overnight hours. It’s available behind the buildings. So, there’s a little bit of a walk. Worth it though! ##### Kevinf to try M. Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Will H. Aug 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy A trendy little industrial style 1 bedroom in the heart of Valley Junction. Just as advertised. The neighborhood is for visiting, so the lack of amenities is a non/issue. A a few board games, and enough kitchenware to cook breakfast; is plenty for what you’d want to be there for in the first place. My 9 year old loved visiting the cats at Cats and Coffee down the street. The boutiques look lovely, and the State Fair was a short drive away (imo). A large spacious bathroom that seems to be necessitated by the building layout; was stocked with everything you’d want for a short weekend stay. I wish we’d been able to do the Valley Junction Farmer’s Market but we were not there for it. I’d imagine it’s an ideal rental for that event with a friend, or partner. The couch is adequately comfortable and sized for a child or small teen to sleep on. This is not a medium or small family spot unless you bring a blow-up mattress (maybe even he property could keep one in the hall closet). There is plenty of room in the great room for a slumber party in that context. I recommend this place fully if you’re a couple, and for small families with a minor caveat that it essentially only sleeps 3 comfortably. ##### Will H.
