Perfect place for a long weekend getaway! Location was perfect for walking or biking to everything this quaint lakeside town has to offer. Place was great and the hosts do an awesome job of making this VRBO an effortless and very nice experience. Would stay here again for sure.

Sisters weekend
The loft was exactly as listed. This property was in a great location for walking to the lake, downtown to shopping and many restaurant choices. We visited the Farmers market on Saturday and had a wonderful weekend.

Adorable loft and perfect location
This is the cleanest place we've ever stayed. Such a cute loft and the location was perfect for walking to the lake and all the the bars and restaurants. Wish we could have parked in the driveway, especially when the street parking was taken by those attending so the kite festival and Surf ballroom events.
