Unique & Excellent
The unit was as beautiful as described & shown online, and was better stocked than May others we’ve experienced. With its two master suites, it was perfect for our group of two couples. The owners didn’t skimp on anything and made communications clear & easy. Well done! We’d happily rent this property again :)

Excellent place. Tastefully decorated. Close to everything in LaSalle
We had 8 adults on a motorcycle ride weekend. The apartment fit all 8 of us comfortably. There are two rooms with queen (maybe king?) sized beds, another with a bunk bed with a double on the bottom and single on top. Along with a pullout couch, and two rollaway beds/cots. This is our second stay at this host's properties, and I would not hesitate to stay there again! Thanks Thomas!

Lovely LaSalle Loft
I came to the LaSalle, IL area with my older parents and brother for a family trip with some hiking and history. We chose the historic loft for something a little different and it did not disappoint. The location to everything we had planned was central with easy access to neighboring towns and parks. We were literally steps from the famous I & M Canal and enjoyed a leisurely ride one day. The loft itself was gorgeous!! Local owners had taken special care to decorate and provide a perfectly designed space for our entire family. The property was wonderful and the owners were fantastic to work with. This was a special stay for us and the loft was incredible!

Great Space for Girls Weekend
I stayed at this same luxury loft in the summer with my husband and 4 kids (ages 14-23). The space is plenty big for 6. Great kitchen with all the cooking supplies needed. Comfortable couches and chairs for watching tv. (Though NOT a lot of channels available). Eating table great for meals and playing games. Shower down the hall still has hot water issues. Could use "notes" on how to use the water controls. Location of loft is easy to get to. Town of LaSalle is a little quiet but seems safe. Easy to drive to neighboring towns of Ottawa, Utica, Peru. Starved Rock Park easy 5 min drive. Would stay here again.

I stayed there with my bridesmaids for my wedding. I was surprised at how large the loft was. The only issue we had were the showers the hot water had an issue on the first day and the shower heads needs to be cleaned . Other than that it was lovely. I would recommend to stay at this location.

Sisters weekend
We loved the spaciousness of the loft. It was a great home base for our weekend - a few restaurants to walk to, but not loud at night. Our major issue was with the water temp in the showers - one was scalding. The owners gave us directions to fix it, but they need to have some signage showing the fix for all guests. Since I saw this problem listed in other reviews, I'd recommend checking with the owners on whether they have posted directions for using the shower before you book it. Otherwise, great stay

loft in La Salle IL
The loft is clean and spacious, and ideally located for visiting Starved Rock State Park. Showers are inadequate: water temperature of one shower is very hot (no way to cool down) and the other has low water pressure. Beds in the walk-in closets are uncomfortable and there is no lighting accessible from inside the rooms. Wifi is accessible only downstairs.

Beautiful, unique property!
Let me preface by saying that I've stayed in more than a dozen short term rentals over the years, so I know what's "industry standard" and what goes above and beyond. This was one of the nicest rentals I've stayed in. It was very high-end for a rental, and it's clear that the owners have spent a lot of money on renovations. I stayed at the property with my mom, sister, and 6 of my sister's friends for a bachelorette weekend. We went kayaking and hiking and had dinner at Uptown Grill. I was worried the loft would be too small, but there were air mattresses in both huge master closets plus tons of extra bedding. I was also worried that the bathroom situation would be weird since the bathrooms are en suites, but there are also doors to allow access from the hallways. Plenty of towels for everyone, and the beds were comfortable. Overall, everyone enjoyed the stay here! Our only complaint was that LaSalle is such a pretty town with a bunch of cute shops that we didn't get to visit because they were all closed on Sundays. If you plan to shop, be sure to visit before 4 on Saturday. The visitor's center was open on Sunday and had food plus some light shopping. Thanks, Thomas!

It was very spacious and clean. Walking distance to a few restaurants and shops, but not much there. We mostly went to hike and relax, so it was just fine. Had some trouble with shower water temperature and getting movie channels on TV, but other than that it was very nice😁

A little luxury in a small town
We stayed in La Salle as we were unable to get adjoining rooms at the Starved Rock Lodge for a wedding. Downtown La Salle is quiet and quaint and this property is in the middle of it. The loft was well appointed and we all felt at home in every way. Everything is updated and the furniture was clean and comfy. Water pressure in the showers wasn't great but that's a minor gripe. I usually complain about cheap, soft mattresses in rental units but the master bed in the loft was just fine for even my achy back. There's a nice coffee shop / bakery right across 1st St....coffee was nothing special but the breakfast sandwiches hit the spot. Overall a nice experience. The owners were quick to respond to inquiries and everything was pretty straightforward!

Nicely decorated
The property looked just like the pictures. Beautiful bedrooms and bathroom. Nice kitchen and cozy living room. It was not filthy, but needed a little extra attention. There were children's fingerprints on the glass bedroom door, a blood smear on the bathroom wall, and the wine glasses had spots around the top. Everything else was great.

Gorgeous condo in an old, historic building. Beautifully decorated and the bricks walls added charm to the decor. There is some street noise but it was sporadic and minimal as you’re not in a busy section of town. Great local restaurants within walking distance. Would stay again.
