Felt like home

We had a wonderful stay. We were out and about most of the day but did all of our own cooking instead of eating out. There is everything you need plus some! The bedding was great and I really appreciated all the throw blankets and comfy pillows. You can tell that Karen has thought of every scenario. You won’t wish you had anything… all the little things you may forget to pack, don’t worry… she’s got you covered and it’s probably there! Hopefully we can come back someday.

Absolutely perfect loft!!! Without question this is the best place we have ever rented. From the moment we walked in the door we felt welcomed and happy. The loft is impeccably appointed with beautiful furnishings and so well equipped. The host has payed such attention to detail. It was spotlessly clean. The online pictures don’t do it justice. We formed great memories here that my husband and I will look back on with fondness for many years. If you have the opportunity to rent this place, you will not be disappointed!

This loft is not only beautiful and fully equipped, but the hosts are wonderful, accessible and provide special personal touches, they clearly have a lot of pride in this beautiful place and love what they offer, and they include local info to ensure a wonderful experience.
