With a restaurant on each side, a gift store, and a coffee shop in the same block, all your needs are met! Get your steps in while enjoying small town life.
The Lofty Owl was a great place to stay near the heart of downtown Hillsdale. The apartment was very clean and well equipped for a comfortable stay. Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming as well.
Great location, with in walking distance to most of everything. The property was very clean and in great condition. The hosts had a great assortment of snacks available and plenty of coffee!The hosts were very communicative and quite quick in their responses. I would definitely stay here again in the future!
All of us really liked the place and the location. My only complaint, I wasnât able to book this place for my return visit to Hillsdale 2 weeks later. Darn the bad luck.
This was such a nice and clean place to stay in downtown Hillsdale. The decor is modern and classy, the owners were organized and friendly, the beds are comfortable, and the whole weekend was just lovely!
Super immaculate, comfortable and convenient!
This property never disappoints! We enjoy coming in for Hillsdale College conferences and staying here makes it easier to hang around afterward and have those extra conversations since we are literally 5 minutes away. Love all the extra little shops and eateries nearby!
The Lofty Owl is a wonderful gem in the heart of town! Jackie & Tim have thought of everything, were very welcoming, and we couldnât have been more comfortable! The loft is quiet and spacious. Will definitely stay again! Thank you!!!
Sometimes I worry about leaving great reviews because it ups the competition to stay there, but can not be helped in this case! Loved staying here! Clean, clean! Super comfortable! Great location! We were in town for a Hillsdale College Conference and it was perfect for everything we needed for our stay! Coffee at Jilly Beans a couple doors down, good old fashioned diner breakfast at the Local Eatery a couple doors the other way. The shops downtown are great âŠfound a cute outfit for the conference!!
THANKS for a great stay!!
My college-aged son and daughter and Ioved the Lofty Owl from the moment we entered! We've traveled alot` and stayed in lots of VRBO's, but this had to be our favorite. As my son said, it reminded him of Florida and New York combined. The lay out of thiis downtown apartment is both unusual and appealing. The decorations were all beautiful and functional... and were what I would have picked out for my own home... if I could find them!
Also the host is kind, uber-responsive, professional, laid back and friendly all at once. Answered all of our needs but gave us plenty of space for us to enjoy our stay. This was really a model VRBO in all regards- the accommodations provided EVERYTHING we could have wanted... and the host understands how to run a business and customer service to a T. So well done! Thank you, Lofty Owl!
The Host was very detailed in assuring an easy entry into the residence.The location of the Lofty Owl was a great safe area in downtown district.The Police station was not far with their presence up and down the street often. Even though on a busy street there was not traffic noise heard when in the residence. We were able to walk to various restaurants and shopping. We were shocked of the spaciousness of the residence as well as the cleanliness that was amazing. You will not be disappointed in choosing the the Lofty Owl as your destination stay.
This is such a spacious place to stay in a cute downtown walkable area to coffee, a meal, farmer's market, a couple of shops. I would only caution that if you cannot do a lot of stairs, seek another place. We had no problem with the stairs, but know that there is a flight up to the 2nd floor apartment door, and then inside the apartment the flight of stairs has very narrow treads and are steep, so just know that. Come down them sideways as we did! Also, older buildings can have electrical waxings and wanings and that's ok if you know it going in to this awesome space. The kitchen is great!!
Had another lovely stay! This property is always immaculate and comfortable! With the nice weather, we even walked to campus one day for our conference! Couldnât recommend more!
The pictures do not do justice to how nice. The night of graduation we were able to cook a large family meal - pulled table out to an eight top. Located right downtown and just minutes from the college. We enjoyed our stay.
Another wonderful stay while attending the local Hillsdale College event! Never disappointed here! Always Immaculately clean and comfortable! Thanks so much!!
The Lofty Owl was a great choice for our weekend in Hillsdale. Perfect location, very clean, and lots of nice touches in the condo to make for a comfortable stay. The owners were very timely with communication and check in and out was very easy. We'll stay there again!
We enjoyed our stay at the Lofty Owl! We were able to enjoy Hillsdale and the downtown area, lots of great coffee places and food with in walking distance. Host was very kind and accommodating! Will definitely be back!
Another wonderful stay at the lofty owl during a streak of beautiful fall weather! Everything well appointed as always and it made out trip into town for the Hillsdale college conference so enjoyable! Loved being able to stay for a few longer conversations in the evening knowing we were only 5 minutes away!
Also took the opportunity because of the weather to use the trail (paved) out to Baw Beese Lake for my morning walk one dayâŠ.lovely! Although I also enjoy walking the sidewalks in town and just enjoying the neighborhoods!
Thanks again! See you in November for the next conference!
Welcome to The Lofty Owl! My husband Tim and I are Hillsdale College graduates, and never left the area because we love it so much...we hope you do too!
With the historic charm of days gone by, yet fully updated for today's needs, The Lofty Owl fits the bill. Enjoy the walkability of downtown Hillsdale, but still have access to fast wireless and smart tvs for all of your communication needs.
