Nice property, great size for our group. Sadly the deck was still under construction and not usable. We'd definitely consider staying there again.

We treated our parents to a weekend getaway with some of the grandkids and needed a place to fit us all. 9 of us went and there was plenty of space! The location was great, and the home was very cute. There is a little bit of a funky smell, but I think it’s because you can’t open the windows. The town was very cute, though many things seemed to be closed when we went to look around. The only real complaint I would have is that the deck that everyone spoke about and was noted in listing, was under construction, which we were not told about prior, and we were really looking forward to sitting out there and using it.

The Loft was perfect for our family of 7 to stay. Plenty big for everyone to have their own space while being able to spend time together. Great location to be able to walk around downtown. The bakery across the street was great, too!

The site is close to several fun places to visit, play, and eat. Plenty of room for the 10 of us! and comfortable beds and seating.
I was a bit disappointed that the deck out back was not really safe for little kids, and there's an odd smell in the bunk room.
We had a blast together and appreciated having a space to call "home".

I am from Lasalle and my family from Oregon wanted to have a reunion and party for our 96 year old aunt. It was perfect for the 5 adults and an infant. We were able to escape from the hubub of the reunion but still be close to the action in spring Valley,Cedar Point and Oglesby. The owner was awesome to work with. I highly recommend staying here instead of a bunch of hotel rooms or other accommodations We hope to book it next time we are here Thanks so much

We stayed two nights (Fri and Sat). We were unaware there was a fireworks show on Friday night, and the balcony was the ideal spot to watch them.
Also, there was a festival in town, about 1.5 blocks away, with live music - so that was also an unexpected bonus.
The place is just as described. There were 8 of us and plenty of places to sleep. Only two people shared the queen sized bed. Not sure how I lucked out and scored the King sized bed all to my self!
Seriously though... The place is very nice. Location is great. Owners ae fantastic.

Place was as expected from the pictures. The deck was our hang out spot for the weekend! Cute little town which we didn't have time to experience as we were down for a wedding. Enjoyable stay!

Home Away from Home
This is our second time staying at this wonderful apartment. The Loft overlooks a main street in downtown LaSalle, the windows offering several different views. We are never disappointed with the cleanliness. Plenty of room (4bedrooms). Having adult children (28+) it is critical for us to have our own rooms and space to "decompress". The owner(s) have FANTASTIC

Christmas in LaSalle
This property is as advertised. We had plenty of room for 7 of us. We had fun cooking together. Coffee shop right across the street for the mornings. Pizza next door and taqueria across the street! Extended family a half hour away. We had a great time and would happily come back. Host was very good to work with. Answered questions very promptly. We were very grateful.

Pleasant stay
Overall very nice unit, pictures don’t do it justice. Needs an overall cleaning! Many cobwebs in all the rooms. Ants in the kitchen and other bugs in bedrooms. Dishwasher is not good. Sheets and towels were very clean and fresh. Please take some time and do a deep clean . I would return if in the area again.

Great space for everyone
The loft had plenty of space for 5 adults and 2 teenagers. We loved the big dining table where we could all sit and play games. The location was great and it was equipped with everything we needed. My only complaints were that the lights did not work in the back bedroom and the dishes were all dirty. We tried to wash all of the dishes in the dishwasher and it did not seem to get them clean. We just bought some plastic silverware and paper plates to make things easier.

Easy check in, spacious accommodations, easy to walk to shops/restaurants
Overall it was easy to work with Thomas. Check in was no problem. The listing says 3 bedrooms in the title but it’s actually 4 nice sized rooms. Did not use the kitchen much but there are nice appliances.

Great place for family to gather, enjoy area activities
Stayed with my family of 4 adults and my sis-in-law and her spouse. Additional family gathered for a visit and some meals. Plenty of space/chairs, ample kitchen and bathrooms for a small family reunion/celebration. Hoping to rent again next year!

Great stay
The Loft was a perfect place for us to stay. We had our daughter and grandkids with us and there was plenty of room for us all. The owners have gone to a lot of trouble to make their property comfortable and convenient. It was immaculate , as described and a perfect place from which to explore Starved Rock, just minutes away. Found a fantastic restaurant just a couple of blocks away and a couple of nice shops. The kids loved the bath with jets. A wonderful place to stay !

Even better in person
This property is even better than the pictures. We stayed for a girls' weekend of hiking and kayaking in the area. Great local restaurants and coffee shops. The owner and manager were super easy to work with. The unit is well stocked and spacious. As someone else mentioned, be sure to space out showers as we were running out of hot water after just one shower (but the shower heads are AMAZING and the water pressure is fabulous!).

Highly Recommend
Thomas and Phyllis were excellent hosts. Everything was exactly as promised and completely turnkey during our stay. We are very appreciative and are already planning our return visit next spring!

Fun Family Birthday Weekend
We stay at a lot of VRBO properties. This trip however was the best! This was a last minute hiking trip idea and if we could give 10 stars we would. First of all working with Thomas was just wonderful. He went above and beyond and we truly felt he wanted to do everything he could to make sure this weekend was perfect for us. The property is so darling. It was not just a rental but we felt like we were right at home - so comfortable and so very cute. We originally thought we had wanted to be closer to the hiking since that was why we headed out to the area, but really being in town turned out to be the best location. We walked town, sat on the balcony in the back and really just enjoyed the weather and watching people be outside. (What a treat). The town folks are so friendly - we really enjoyed getting to know them. We had a wonderful birthday dinner at the Supper Club and all of our meals were so delicious. We will definitely rent again from Thomas and we HIGHLY recommend that you do to.

Great Stay Near Starved Rock
We chose this property for our annual visit to Starved Rock because we weren't crazy about being in the state park's lodge at this time. The location was perfect for both Starved Rock and Mathiesson State Parks. There was enough room for all of us (5 adults and 3 children) and it was very clean and comfortable.

QUICK TRIP BEFORE SCHOOL STARTED
We recently stayed at The Loft. It was cute and had plenty of room to accommodate my whole family comfortably. It was easily the highlight of our trip, as a tornado had closed all the surrounding State Parks. We spent a lot of time in the loft playing games, watching movies and doing puzzles. I would also recommend getting dinner from the Mexican store across the street. It was fantastic!

Great Place in Downtown LaSalle
Huge, clean place with a great location in LaSalle. I would definitely rent again the next time I’m in town.

Downtown Small-town LaSalle
Spacious and well decorated, we were charmed by the ambience of the loft and downtown LaSalle. Fun places to eat very close, and an old-fashioned midwestern downtown. I'd give the property 5 stars if we hadn't had several hiccups with the stay. 1) There wasn't a working lock-box and only one set of keys. 2) After a very heavy, extended rain, the living room had multiple leaks and drips. I expect the owner will be correcting these issues, but you may want to check.

Pleasantly surprised
The apartment is a lot larger than the pictures make it seem. The décor is nice and it has plenty of space for large parties. Some more attention needs to be paid to cleanliness, but its not bad at all. They have a lot of amenities that are not listed on the listing. Things like a coffee maker that would have been nice to know up front. Check in was a bit confusing for us. They asked us to call when we were 30 minutes away, which we did. But we then stood outside (in a storm of all things) for a long while and were not greeted. Had to call again. So just make sure you set a clear plan with them to avoid the same confusion. Parking is unique too. They have a lot that you can use, but lots of other people use it too and it has no defined spots so people park in all kinds of ways. It all just means there may not always be space available. Location is the best part. Walking distance to shops and so many great places to eat. Also being right near the water was really fun. Overall a very nice place that we felt we got at a great price.

Beautiful loft
We completely enjoyed our stay in this rental. It was comfortable and charmingly decorated, with plenty of space for sitting, talking, and eating at the dining table. We appreciated having 3 full bathrooms. The full kitchen was very useful, and the rooftop deck was pleasant for sitting outside in the evening. The location close to the river and to Starved Rock State Park was exactly what we wanted. The owners were helpful and quick to answer questions.

The property was in a good location for a small group looking to hike the parks nearby. Be careful when you check in though. We reserved one property and they had us booked for another. Also, they will charge for extra guests, so the more people you have, the higher the price per night, FYI.

Amazing home near Starved rock!!
We stayed at this place for the Easter weekend and absolutely enjoyed it. It was really close to the Starved rock and had numerous places to eat nearby too. The house was really comfortable and had everything in place to make our stay comfortable. The host were really kind and respond very quick.
