Great getaway!

We had a wonderful stay at the Loft! The place was spotless and beautifully maintained, and we really appreciated how pet‑friendly it was. The built‑in dog door made things so easy for our pups, and my wife absolutely loved the loft bed. We were even welcomed with thoughtful snacks like Oreos and popcorn, which were perfect for our movie night. Tracey was also very responsive with any queries we had, making the whole stay seamless and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Unfortunate Experience Due to Plumbing Problem

Our 3-day, 2-night stay at this property was unfortunately disrupted due to an issue with the toilet. On the evening of March 9, the toilet became completely clogged and unusable. Despite reaching out to the owner, the issue could not be resolved during our stay. We later learned that the cause was a blocked sewer in the street, which was beyond anyone’s control.Initially, the owner assumed that we had caused the blockage, which was disappointing. While an alternative toilet was offered, it was not a practical solution for us, especially as we had elderly family members who needed easy access during the night. Given the circumstances, we had no choice but to end our trip early, leaving at 8 PM for a 4-hour drive home, which also meant canceling all our plans for the following day.We kindly requested a partial refund for the night we were unable to stay, but the owner declined, citing that an alternative was available. While we understand that unexpected issues can arise, we were disappointed by the lack of flexibility in resolving the matter.On a positive note, the property was clean and as described, but due to the way this situation was handled, we would not book again. For future guests, we recommend discussing emergency arrangements with the owner in advance to ensure a smooth stay.

Beautiful get away

E really enjoyed it stay at the Loft. It was such a beautiful house, with everything we needed. The location was perfect - just a short walk along the board walk into town, and so peaceful and quiet. But the best thing was that our big doggo was welcome! It was great having the secure yard, the doggy door, and no limit on size - felt like she had everything she needed too ☺️

Light and airy atmosphere

This compact but very clean, airy and pleasant place was perfect for our needs - a short two night stay with our dog and almost-teen kids, to enjoy the Hots Springs and surrounding area. The place provided everything we needed, the only thing lacking was perhaps a stove top coffee maker or plunger, as we are not instant coffee drinkers. A bbq was listed, but not there. Other than these minor things, we had a lovely stay, and loved the green, leafy surrounds and convenient location.
