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.

Wonderful weekend

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.

Just a 1 day stop on a long trip out west. Just perfect. Location is outstanding. Truly lovely town and atmosphere. If you landed on this, just do it you will not be disappointed. Host has others in the same building as well. Only other note, make sure you stop downstairs for coffee!!

Perfect location

Slight hiccup with checkin but owner really responsive so worked out fine. Loft is beautiful, clean, well stocked and perfectly located for hiking. The shop downstairs is great and everyone is super friendly. The street outside is basically a beer tent so keep in mind it's probably kinda loud on weekends. Besides the weather, our only disappointment was how many shops only had wknd hours.

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.

Perfect city getaway

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!

Perfect Weekend Getaway

The property was completely as pictured if not better. The property owner was fabulous. From the big to the small, they thought of everything when putting the property together. The location was great. Right in the downtown with access to food, drinks and live entertainment. Things shut down around 9:00 so no noise issues. Highly recommend!
