Nice home base

Good location - quiet and central to our activities. Generally comfortable and had the necessities. Plenty of towels and dishes. AC in bedrooms that did help cool main room a bit, but no ac unit there. Host responsive and communicative! Some water stains / damage on walls and front curtains.

Cute, converted old storefront

This place was perfect for our Shawnee National Forest Adventure. We were there early in the week so the local things we liked were not open. Great Value, but loses a star for dirty front windows, no dishwasher and no ceiling fans.

Quiet Little Get Away

The loft was very comfortable and clean. Very close to three wineries and within decent driving distance to a few others. The town does close early so that makes it difficult for dinner times but it works if you plan ahead.

We Loved Alto Loft

We went for our 29th Anniversary and stayed in the front unit of Alto Loft. We loved everything about it. It was absolutely spotless, well decorated, very comfortable, and in a great location with wineries just minutes away and a unique and beautiful Bourbon Bar across the road. We would recommend this place to anyone. It made for a fun, relaxing get away.

My husband and I enjoyed our trip so much! It was the perfect location for the wine trail. There is the neatest bourbon bar across the street. I definitely recommend stopping by there, as it has the coolest atmosphere. The home was very clean and in a quiet area. It was definitely a place we would stay again. I’ve already recommended it to others.

So much to do…

We stayed at the house for 4 nights. There is so much to do in the area, we wanted to stay longer. There is great hiking, great wineries and breweries. The Havisham Bourbon Bar is just across the street and a great place to relax and have a drink. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable. It was easy to get into and parking was very easy. Hope to come back again someday.
