Carlinville officially voted Hallmarks “Merriest Christmas Town 2026”. Why not cozy up in this luxuriously renovated 3rd Floor loft, 1 of 3 individual floors in the heart of Carlinville right on the town square formerly “Karla’s Jewelry” Bldg. Built in 1857 this Historic floor to ceiling windows capture beautiful sunset views overlooking the town.
13 ft. ceilings in this 1000 square ft. studio loft with a king bed, and fully equipped kitchen are yours to enjoy. Pamper yourself in the elegant bathroom with stunningly chandelier and large walk in glass shower, stocked with essentials. The serene atmosphere of the loft provides a peaceful retreat after exploring all that Carlinville has to offer.

Oh my word this place is incredible. Bed was comfortable great location and the original aspects of the old building brought up to date with modern convenience. I think Jennifer and I will be getting more acquainted because I have a hard time finding a decent place to stay when I come to my hometown to visit. Carlinville is good little town close to my hometown and made attending my best friends wedding in Gillespie a breeze. We will be back.

Space has been seen before and is lovely.... Unfortunately our stay didn't work out because of an adjacent building structure compromise, but host was quick to help us get a refund from VRBO and quick to respond. I would recommend this host and property

Pretty sure the only words I have to describe this loft is wow, as that is exactly what we said when we arrived. The location couldn’t be any better as it's right in the heart of the town square. The furnishings, bedding, and finishes were all incredible! The bathroom is huge, shower is great, and it's just an amazing place to stay. I would have given this more stars if I could, highly recommend staying here! This is a really neat loft in an excellent location. All communications were great as well. Can't wait to return and stay there again!
