Perfect Wine Trail Accomodations
Centrally located to all the wineries and was a great place to stay. Steve was super responsive to the few questions and we couldn’t ask for a better trip. The gas grill and fully stocked kitchen allowed us to cook dinner in and enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub each night. The beds were comfortable, AC was cold and furnishings were well appointed.

Cozy!
Loved our stay at the Loft! Was so easy to travel the wine trail. The Loft itself was perfect for us. We were looking for a weekend of R & R, this was the perfect spot! Hot tub was a perfect spot to relax before hitting the wine trail and then a perfect spot to relax after a busy day to relax with a nice bottle from the wine trail. We will definitely be back!

Great, short getaway
What a cute little place! We very much enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit. We found out that in March, the whole town is closed down Monday-Wednesday, which of course was our stay time, HA! We would really have loved to try the bar across the street and several wineries that were also closed, however it was also nice to have no one around. I mean, NO ONE! Bald knob cross, the Cliff state park, the natural bridge trail...never saw one person. Still enjoyed great service at several wineries and was able to return and relax on the most comfortable Vrbo couch I've ever sat on. The kitchen is small, which I learned from other reviews so we decided not to cook as much and brought paper plates. Steve sent a funny quip about a pizza cutter when we checked in and there were 2...but not hot pads. hahaha It's always something. We loved this stay and have it on the list to return!

Great place to stay!
This place has two nice-sized bedrooms, comfy leather furniture in the living space, and ample space throughout. The hot tub was the perfect temperature and just a few steps out the sliding door on the secluded deck. The water pressure is good in the shower. The four of us had plenty of fluffy towels for the hot tub and the shower. The floors are a little creaky but expected in an old building. The location is great - just down the street from the bourbon bar (serves more than bourbon), and right on the wine trail. There is also a fairly flat trail nearby that is an easy walk. My husband and two teens had a good time and plan to stay here again.

Property was super cute, but the beds were terrible and the pillows were either flat or super lumpy. I woke up sore every day and the hot tub became necessary not a luxury. Also, strangely un stocked - no skillets, no mixing cups or spoons, and no dishwasher. So we spent the entire morning doing dishes with one hand (i was injured) so we wouldnt get a charge.

Decent place
Cute and comfortable little two bedroom place was great for our small group. The furnishings were simple, yet tasteful and very comfortable. Location was quiet, with easy access to everything the area offers. A couple drawbacks that the owner should address, but overall we enjoyed our 2 night stay. Things we liked: beds were comfortable, couch and chairs were comfortable; assorted board games and reading material; snack basket was provided with nice selection of snacks. Items they should address: Hot Tub needs to be properly maintained or removed (breaker was off when we got there, so tub was cool and water had not been getting circulated leaving a scum ring around the waterline; we started it up to verify functionality but we were not about to tempt fate by climbing into it); remotes for tv were either worn out or batteries were shot but they made tv viewing a bit of a challenge; entryway was overgrown with too many weeds; cobwebs hanging from can light in kitchen; ice maker did not work in freezer; and the shower was too tight, suggest curved curtain rod like many hotels have to make room for an average sized adult to turn around.

Rural area
We went to Giant City National Park for hiking with the family. Steve was a great host, the loft was what we expected however when we got to Alto Pass we realized that there was only one bar across the street (the only one in town which we didn’t go because we went with kids), a very small grocery store that barely had anything, the closest fresh farm was 10 minutes away that only had peaches and ice cream shop (no veggies, etc) and no restaurant options close by and tap water wasn’t drinkable so had to buy it. I’m giving Steve and the property 5 star but wish we knew these things ahead of time to plan accordingly since I have food restrictions and ended up sick the whole time there. We assumed we would find a decent grocery store in town which we didn’t. Also, had to buy drinking water that the grocery store had only 1-2 gallons available every day but not enough for a family of 4 that had to carry some of it for hiking.

What a great property! The listing was very accurate, and communication with Steven the owner was quick and easy. The bed was comfortable and we also made use of the hot tub a few times during our stay. The general store and Havisham Bourbon Bar were a very short walk from our unit. We also visited a couple of wineries in the area too. We really enjoyed our weekend getaway!

Cute and Quiet But...
Glue mouse trap was left behind a chair in the livingroom area, a few mouse droppings were near it but we didn't see any mice. Hot tub seemed to be filled too low to actually use it, but it was dirty enough that we also didn't want to try. No batteries in TV remote so couldn't use it's smart functionality, cable remote worked fine though. Gas grill outside wasn't working (but gas fire pit did). Not a bad experience overall, but we paid more than other VRBO options in the area because of amenities like the hot tub. If we knew the hot tub wasn't prepped yet for the season we probably would have chosen a more affordable option.

Labor Day Getaway
The online pictures of the property do not match the actual property, the building is needs a ton of work or the demolition ball is in order. This is not meant to be a bash of the property rather this posting is the reality, it was not what we expected by the pictures posted. We were greeted by dead landscaping outside the door that could have used a shovel and rake. The deck area had carpeting that was dirty and had green mold along with a grill that was gross (we cleaned it to be useable). The hot tub was dirty and had not seen a scrub brush in a while. - we did not use it. The screen doors were broken and had no useable screens, one was missing and the other was rusted in place. Inside the floors squeeked most all over, the drinking water had a terrible taste that tasted like copper and something else we have never tasted before. The bathroom faucet was loose and the shower handle could hardly be turned on to get water , it was difficult to adjust the water. The AC units in the bedrooms were loud and put in place with press board and could hear the neighbors next door as well as the front unit. The location is OK, we tried to walk around however the area is not conducive to safety with no sidewalks and its a blighted area. The location is very close to winery's and a trail that is over grown, walking to the winery's is not advised.
