Very nice loft, private and modern. Perfectly comfortable stay.
We had a fantastic stay! The unit was beautifully maintained, clean, and exactly as described. The location was perfect for everything we needed, and the owner's communication was top-notch; quick, clear, and full of helpful local recommendations that made our trip even better. Truly appreciated the hospitality. Thank you again!
Lovely apartment, good location in centre of town, handy for the couple of restaurants there are and the supermarket. Great proximity to lots of good hiking. Enjoyed my weekend break.
The place was a great surprise. The bed, shower, and TV were excellant. Decorating and amenities were A1. Highly recommend if you are visiting Breaks park.
Everything we needed, small town (no service if that’s a issue, wifi is available) highly recommend grabbing something to eat before coming into town. Enjoyed the space why’ll we were there and the bed was very comfortable!
Can't think of a bad thing to say about this property. It was a great option for that area. I had a couple of questions and Rita answered me quickly and it was just a great stay.

It was much better than expected in a small town in the middle of coal country. If you need to be in this area, it is by far the best options for a couple nights

We booked this place when we couldn't get a room at the lodge in Breaks, and we're glad we found this gem! Absolutely lovely loft, super clean with a great new shower and a comfortable porch out back. The loft was very well-stocked with everything we could need. We absolutely look forward to coming back again!
We had a quick overnight stay at the Loft. Bed was very comfortable. We didn’t use the kitchen. Owner/host replied quickly. We would stay again. FYI- things you’ll need to bring are bath soap, bottled water if desired, coffee and tea.

Haysi is a cute little Mountain town just 15 min from the Breaks Interstate Park. There are a few restaurants and a decent Convenience store with a Subway. The Lofts were quiet and centrally located. The back Patio was furnished and lit. Amazing Bed and shower head. There was a Grill and Hot plate for cooking as well as a Microwave. The area has many runnable streams for kayaking or fishing nearby. ATV trails criss-cross the area. Take an Elk Tour in the Fall or Spring at the Park.Truly the last bit of Frontier left in Virginia.
Loft was super cute, fit our needs for a wedding in Grundy that brought us to that area. Definitely recommend saving the code (for the door) on your phone prior to getting to the area due to lack of service. The hosts were very easy to get ahold of when needed.
The lofts are great! So unexpected. The rooms are beautifully decorated and large. Furnishings are excellent and our time there was very enjoyable.
Also, I need to know if that Rita went out of her way to be helpful and accommodating. I couldn’t be more satisfied.
This was a really cute place. A little further from the Breaks state park than we expected. Had a few minor issues, but nothing major. Wife tore the bottom of her foot due to a nail sticking up from the floor. And the mice had a feast from our snack bag.

Space is true to it's name, a hidden gem in this beautiful area of SW Virginia. There was a little more access to a store or two nearby than I'd previously gathered, although just a heads-up, the adjacent coffee shop wasn't open on Saturday or Sunday. Would definitely stay here again, and would stay longer next time. The kayaks are an awesome extra, but it was hard for us to figure out locally where was the best place to use them. If you're staying here and heading to Breaks Park, it's about a 15 minute (very curvy) drive. Well worth the price, the experience was great!
The location was clean. There’s no stove and really no restaurants nearby unless you want pizza. The deck/back porch was dusty with leaves everywhere and some of the furniture was unsafe to sit on. Just be aware in case you have allergies. Inside is nice but there are multiple doors and we were unsure which areas we had access to. Overall very peaceful and quiet. We felt like we were the only people in the entire town after the businesses closed. People in the area are very friendly. If you don’t mind doing a little driving, I would recommend this location
My husband and I have stayed in a lot of vacation rental properties and this one runs about an 8 on a scale of 1-10. It was adorable, for sure, and well appointed. It did lack some of the essentials, such as a dresser, and the bed is VERY firm.
The kitchen included a large refrigerator, a microwave and a hot plate. We found only one spoon but they supplied toilet paper and paper towels, as well as bed linens, washcloths and bath towels. We could have used a couple of hand towels and another hook or two for hanging clothes in the bathroom but the shower was amazing! There is, however, no way to secure the bathroom door and it is made of wood planks with spaces in between, so make sure you’re comfortable with the person you’re staying there with because it is not 100% private.
There is a really cute little covered back porch and the water is delicious! I’m a bit of a super taster so that’s important to me.
The only real issue I had was with the thousand legger (bug) on the ceiling but only because I had to keep most of my clothes in my suitcase on the sofa since there was no dresser, which meant I had to close it to keep nosy, creepy crawlers out.
But all in all, it was very nice, very clean and very private. We would recommend it!!
We rolled the dice on staying here since it was our first trip to the area. Loved it! Cool town, great accommodations and our only complaint was that we only booked it for one night. There is a ton to do and we’re coming back.
