A pleasant sray in a more remotish area of Michigan. Small town thats not to far from the big one. Room is great and interesting. Plenty of space and comfort
The Loft is a picture perfect space with great amenities. It's perfect for a getaway experience. Bill is a top notch host. You will not be disappointed. Will definitely be back!
A perfect property, clean and beautiful. A wonderful girlsâ getaway, with several visits paid to the ice cream shop downstairs. A total and complete delight!
This gem was more than advertised. From beginning to end, our experience at the Loft was all that we could have asked for. Bill was a very attentive host and made sure that we had whatever we needed. I am looking forward to staying at the Loft again!
The Loft was absolutely the best place to stay! Loved the entire floor, from entrance to exit. I didnât want to go home. Already booked another stay but at another of Bills locations. I have no doubt it will be just as well done and Iâm excited to get there already.
I absolutely agree with some of the other reviewers that said they loved the place so much that they didn't want to write a positive review for fear of having to share this place with other guests. THE LOFT IS INCREDIBLE! My wife and I stayed here for a few days to celebrate our anniversary and we could not have found a better place! Everything is incredibly well thought out! The place is very well decorated and you can tell from the furniture, appliances, the fireplace and from a conversation we had with Bill himself that he put a lot of work into, and takes great pride in his rentals and in taking care of his guests. Despite being right down town, the place is very quiet with very little road noise, and when we weren't wandering around downtown, my wife and I spent spent quite a bit of time just sitting in front of the peaceful, very nice fireplace and enjoying the overall ambiance of the Loft itself. Bill is a fantastic host as well. He was very quick and helpful with a minor problem we had with the heater, and he's very available for any questions you may have, but is also non-intrusive and very respectful of privacy as well. We will definitely be coming back here again!
This was the most pleasant week of our month long stay in the area. So enjoyed the decor, comfort, all inclusive supplies, lovely small town environment and ambiance of the Loft. Owner so helpful and courteous.
We really enjoyed our girls weekend getaway in this beautiful loft space. It was cozy, comfortable and had everything we needed for hanging out for the night. We all commented on how we would love to stay here again!
We were greeted by Bill who filled us in on the great little
town of Lake Odessa. The loft was exquisite, wonderfully decorated and very comfortable. We will stay there again.
I almost hate to share this hidden gem with a glowing review, but I just HAVE to for so many reasons!! Where do I start?!? Perhaps, with what a true genuine man Bill Rogers is. He is a delight with a capital âDâ!! The pride he holds for his town, Lake Odessa, is apparent from the moment you meet him. Iâm pretty sure his investments into the town have much added to itâs charm. He currently has three equally eloquent properties for rent in the quaint downtown area, with a 4th soon to follow. He also owns the local ice cream shop a block away, which includes phosphate sodas!! What a blast from the past!
Now, on to the rental space. I have stayed at a good share of VRBOâs in the past and Billâs place IS, by far, THE ABSOLUTE BEST! His flair for decorating, attention to detail and pride in ownership far exceeds anywhere I have ever stayed! Everything you need is well within walking distance of his properties; the ice cream shop, which was previously mentioned, a restaurant, a library, a coffee beanery & donut shop, an antique store, even a doctorâs office, as well as a hair salon, which Bill also owns! The public beach of Lake Jordan is a short drive, or even walk away!!
My advice to you, stay here and be prepared to enjoy a getaway to the fullest, but donât stay too long because I will definitely be coming back again and again. I think itâd be fun to rent all his properties at once and enjoy a big family reunion here during the summer months!
Thanks, Bill, for your hospitality and being such a proud and dedicated member of your delightful little community! See you soon!
The Loft was fantastic and so was the owner. We really enjoyed our few days at this rental. The Loft was well furnished with everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. The whole Loft was clean and very comfortable. We will stay here again. Thanks Bill for sharing The Loft with us.
The listing was compelling, and the actual visit was far better. Place was extremely charming and immaculate. There was enough within a few blocks to cap it off. Wish we could keep this a secret.
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at The Loft. Cozy atmosphere, lighting and sound. Location was easy to find/ access. Short walk to a diner, bakery, any down town shopping. Less than a mile from a park, the lake and bar on the lake. Everything was clean, made us feel comfortable to eat and sleep. The bathroom was very nice and clean. We felt right at home. If I could give 10 stars, I would. Will most likely be a spot we visit again.
My wife and I were staying here for our 33rd anniversary and we had a great time at the Loft. As soon as we walked in we both were so happy with our choice to stay here. I think we both said âWOW!!â at the same time. Bill was very accommodating and easy to work with. We didnât need anything while we were here but He was more than willing to help if we did.
I know everyone say the pictures donât do it justice but itâs true!
We would definitely look to stay here again if we want to come back to this area.
Thank you Bill!!
Walking up the charming entry stairs, you enter to a magical string lit loft with beautiful high ceilings. It was immaculately clean and thoughtfully designed. We kept saying âthe reviews were SO right!â because the pictures donât do it justice. We had everything we needed for a romantic get away. We loved the fireplace and the use of technology throughout the loft space (speakers in the ceiling, remote lights). Bill was one of the best hosts Iâve ever had and was available to make sure we got in okay and for any questions. We will be back for another stay soon!
