Quiet and very clean!

My family and I needed a place to stay locally as we had to temporarily relocate after a water leak at our home close by. Everything we need was there to cook with, and keep up with laundry etc. Comfortable beds, good people, and amazing views!

Stunning

I booked a trip to stay near my family for the holidays. I was pleased to hear it was okay to bring my two small dogs. The loft is absolutely stunning with amazing views and the perfect size for a couple and some furbabies. The owner was very communicative throughout the entire process and made sure we were comfortable. I will definitely book again in the future!

Sweet loft

Josh is a really super nice guy and not a hover host, he is 100% available if you need his help . The view is beautiful and the area safe. I cannot find any negatives about this Vrbo. We will return as we have family in SD.

Our stay in the Loft at Mt. Helix

The Loft is a studio apartment with one double bed and trundle.The coffee pot had old coffee in the basket and the glass carafe was stained. Other than that, the apartment was very clean.Since we used the place to only sleeep at night, it was very adequate for us.
