Visiting history…
The Loft on the Square is a well-crafted tribute to the historical days of Abe Lincoln with modern day amenities. Leaving much of the original structure exposed shows appreciation to the building’s bricks and bones. Local businesses also offer plenty to explore. This will be our go-to for visiting family and friends in the area!

The room is very nice. Luckily It was the men of the family that stayed there and not the ladies. First morning there was an almost dead mouse laying on the stairs. The next day there was a dead mouse in front of the refrigerator. Obviously there is poison out and they are trying to control this situation but I will never stay there.

Perfect charming get-a-way.
March in the midwest can get a bit long so we thought we'd plan a little time in Springfield and finish touring some of the Lincoln sites we had missed before. Petersburg is just a short, but beautiful ride so when we spotted the Loft on the Square we went for it. And while the Lincoln sites were great, this sweet loft really made our time special. Well planned, welcoming lay out with everything and anything we could possibly ask for. Clean, comfortable and within walking distance to nice restaurants, shops and antique haunts. Brewery right next door made for easy entertainment! In particular, we really enjoyed the history and learning more about the Loft! Thank you. We will be back. (Apologies for the late review!)

Very relaxing in a beautiful historic house with history and charm to spare!!
The Loft was so nice in Petersburg we can't wait to go back again! We want to go back in the Spring when we can enjoy the wonderful rooftop deck outside. My husband really enjoyed ourselves and had a much needed break from well....everything. Beautiful place, so charming and peaceful to just sit and sip wine and relax. The Loft has everything there that you could possibly need or forget to bring-so "forget about it-really" lol! Becca was absolutely the nicest person I have ever talked to on the phone! We will be back for SURE!! Holly W.

Beautiful Loft
We really enjoyed the stay. The loft was very cool and eclectic in its styling. Only difficulty was checking in. We were sent 3 different codes within the VRBO app, none of which worked. However, a kind waitress at the brewery next door had a spare key and let us in.

My husband and I stayed at the Loft on the Square for our 9th anniversary and really enjoyed our stay. The location was ideal with the brewery downstairs and the shops close by around the square. The renovation of theoft is very impressive and love all the unique design aspect which make it a home. Thank you for being amazing hosts. We will definitely be returning to the Loft as soon as possible.
