Great place to stay!! We walked to multiple bars/restaurants, stores, and activities. Parked the truck when we got there and didn't need it until it was time to go home. Keep in mind you'll need to navigate plenty of stairs, but so quiet and relaxing being elevated above the busy street activities below. Easy check in, super clean, plenty of kitcken gadgets and linens.

We enjoyed our stay. Very charming. Viewing the TV from the sofa was awkward. Sofa should be facing TV.The stay was very comfortable otherwise. Too many steps to entrance difficult carrying suitcases .

Perfect city getaway
Came out this way to do a weekend of hiking and relaxing outside of the city and this place didn’t disappoint. Super clean, updated, and most importantly comfortable! The area is incredible and includes a lot to do right outside the door to this place. Would come back for ice cream and coffee and Bruce and Ollie’s and a beer at Ginger Road any day!

Destress Weekend
I stayed in the Charlotte suite for a much needed stress free weekend. The loft and town did not disappoint.
It was a very nice clean Homey place. Our only drawback was lots of steps when you enter. We stayed in the loft and there was stairs up to the bedroom, but other than that, everything was excellent.

Great weekend getaway.
While close to home, great little town and great little property. Highly recommend.
Having the coffee shop right downstairs was an excellent way to start the mornings before hiking the trails!

Wonderful weekend
Came to Utica for the Wine Walk. The location was perfect. The suite was clean and had everything we needed for a short stay. Communication with the owner was great. We enjoyed staying over the shop, which had great coffee and tasty food. The staff were helpful and very friendly. Will definitely come back.

Just a 1 day stop on a long trip out west. Just perfect. Location is outstanding. Truly lovely town and atmosphere. If you landed on this, just do it you will not be disappointed. Host has others in the same building as well. Only other note, make sure you stop downstairs for coffee!!
A beautiful loft condo in downtown Utica with everything imaginable for a perfect getaway. The Fast and easy communication with the owner when we had difficulty checking in was greatly appreciated. We will definitely book again in the spring. Thanks for a great stay!!!!!
