This accommodation was an excellent place to stay. It was SO clean. It was a great location, close to restaurants and a quick ride to hiking! Communication went smoothly. Definitely would stay again!
Great place to stay!! We walked to multiple bars/restaurants, stores, and activities. Parked the truck when we got there and didn't need it until it was time to go home. Keep in mind you'll need to navigate plenty of stairs, but so quiet and relaxing being elevated above the busy street activities below. Easy check in, super clean, plenty of kitcken gadgets and linens.
Such a cute place! We had everything that we could have needed! Bed was super comfy! Slept 12 hours!!!! Ideal locale for a girls night, or a spot with your special someone. ! We will all be back!

It was a very nice clean Homey place. Our only drawback was lots of steps when you enter. We stayed in the loft and there was stairs up to the bedroom, but other than that, everything was excellent.
We enjoyed our stay. Very charming. Viewing the TV from the sofa was awkward. Sofa should be facing TV.The stay was very comfortable otherwise. Too many steps to entrance difficult carrying suitcases .
Came out this way to do a weekend of hiking and relaxing outside of the city and this place didn’t disappoint. Super clean, updated, and most importantly comfortable! The area is incredible and includes a lot to do right outside the door to this place. Would come back for ice cream and coffee and Bruce and Ollie’s and a beer at Ginger Road any day!

A beautiful loft condo in downtown Utica with everything imaginable for a perfect getaway. The Fast and easy communication with the owner when we had difficulty checking in was greatly appreciated. We will definitely book again in the spring. Thanks for a great stay!!!!!
Great Great place!
Jenn and Matt are great local hosts !
They are a hands on couple that go above and beyond to make sure your stay is perfect
Glad we found this hidden gem
We will be back
Amazing 3 night trip to Utica in this newly renovated condo. Located above a unique coffee shop and across the street from a sports bar with excellent food. Starved Rock State Park has many trails to hike and is just minutes away.
Came to Utica for the Wine Walk. The location was perfect. The suite was clean and had everything we needed for a short stay. Communication with the owner was great. We enjoyed staying over the shop, which had great coffee and tasty food. The staff were helpful and very friendly. Will definitely come back.
The Loft was an incredible space to relax and enjoy ourselves when not hiking, shopping or dining. Very well maintained and furnished with everything you need. In this day and age it is a blessing to find accommodations that exceed your expectations.
