“This was our 4th stay at this location and once again, it did not disappoint. The loft is spotlessly clean and beautiful. The location to St. Joseph, Lake Michigan and wineries is absolutely perfect. Make sure to get a reservation at Houndstooth!! The loft feels like home and we know we’ll be back (for a 5th, 6th…… time)”

“Positive: Very clean, beautiful loft. It had everything we needed. The bed was firm but not hard. Washer and dryer unit is a very nice addition. Excellent breakfast cafe, pub and restaurants were a short walk away. Negative: It would be helpful to include that the building has no elevator and that loft 4 is up 3 flights of stairs.. We are 70 yrs old and carrying a 35 lb suitcase up stairs was hard.”

“My husband and I took a last minute trip to Benton Harbor and stayed in Ken’s loft. Love the art district!!! Ken’s place was immaculate, had all the necessary amenities of home. Definitely recommend anyone who’s looking for a trendy place to stay. Ken was so helpful when we needed some dining suggestions on a Sunday evening. We had appetizers and drinks at North Pier Brewing and met some wonderful people there! I will definitely stay in Ken’s loft again!”

“Very nice place. Easy walk to the Mason Jar Cafe and the Livery micro-brewery for live music and amazing beers. And the Houndstooth restaurant is right there, also. A sort bike ride to the beach, the loft was comfortable and right at home. I will return for sure!”

“We had a wonderful stay! The space was beautiful — I loved the aesthetic, every detail made it feel warm and inviting. The host, Kenneth, was very accommodating and made sure everything was smooth and comfortable. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!”

“Great place to stay. Felt safe. Ate at the restaurant below and it was fantastic!”

“The space was beautiful, clean and well stocked. Only a 5 minute drive to shops, cafes and Silver Beach in St Joseph. Convenient drive to several wineries in the area. Would recommend to others and personally rent again if we pay another visit the area.”

“Had a great time this weekend. Benton Harbor was alright, mainly just quiet never felt unsafe at anytime. The gated parking lot was very nice. The place itself was very nice and perfect for a weekend getaway. Ate at Houndstooth and Cliffords Coffee Canal in Benton Harbor and those were great. Spent most of our days at silver beach and downtown St. Joe.”

“Great stay! Nice loft and excellent location!”

“Our stay was wonderful! Central to many places and was exactly as described. Neat, beautiful furnishings and the perfect place for a weekend getaway!”

“Very nice place! Highly recommend if you're in the area.”

“It was a good stay in a great location!”

“The place is beautiful just like the pictures. The owner constantly stays in touch to make sure everything is perfect. There is lots of things to do around this area. St Joseph has lots of shops, restaurants, and beaches. South Haven only about 20-30 min North with similar amenities. New Buffalo is about 30 minutes south with similar amenities. Lots to do and we never got bored. Would definitely stay here again!”

“We enjoyed our relaxing stay! The loft was well equipped with everything we needed and exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed a few quiet days away to relax - it was just right.”

“Nice place. A lot of stairs. Keeps you hungry.”

“Kenneth was great and responsive, check in was easy but having to go up to the loft and get the gate opener, then come back down and get the car was extra steps but overall a great stay and would definitely stay again.”

“Nice place to stay, would recommend trying houndstooth downstairs during visit.”

“Our long weekend stay here was great!! The space was just as pictured, clean, and clear instructions!! Would definitely stay here again!”

“Brand new lofts with all the necessary amenities. Up and coming area. Very close to Silver Beach, and many things to do. We enjoyed the record player, comfortable bed, plenty of linens and towels. Excellent option for someone staying in the area!”

“great little loft, very clean. cool little town. we enjoyed”

“Beautiful loft! Well appointed.”

“Kenneth’s place was appointed very well. It had everything we needed and was one of the cleanest Airbnb stays we’ve had. The furniture, layout and design touches were awesome. There was an attention to detail with kitchen tidiness, bathroom organization and all new furniture. It was easy drive to St. Joseph and the building was secure. The general area around is under modernization so there are more trendy places to eat including at the ground level of the building. We had a very pleasant stay and would definitely return.”

“Fun place to stay in the heart of the arts district. Everything is less than 10 minutes away and even closer for the beach. Would absolutely stay again.”

“Kenneth’s place was very nice, a lot of character, and very comfortable. Kenneth was very responsive and accommodating.”

“My daughter and I stayed here for a girls get away and loved having a safe place to stay in. The bed linens were so luxurious and the bed was super comfy. We took advantage of the gas stove and cooked a few meals. I loved that the kitchen was stocked. The farmers market across the street was perfect to gather a few things to enjoy during our stay. The Mason Jar Cafe is amazing for breakfast and within walking distance. It was a great place to stay and we would definitely come back.”

“Beautiful, private loft! Perfect for a getaway. Close to everything but far enough away if doesn't feel touristy.”

“The Loft is exactly as described and is cozy, stylish, and comfortable. The Mason Jar Cafe was delicious. We ate there twice, and when we ordered a pizza from The Livery, we were pleasantly surprised to discover an open mike where my husband was invited to perform. The surrounding area, though, is pretty bleak. Despite the new restaurants, it's not a pretty neighborhood. Some parts were quite shocking, worse even than the south side of Chicago. The streets were deserted, there are few trees and no landscaping, the view from the apartment is mostly a parking lot, port-a-potties, a cannabis dispensary, and a handful of men loitering in the grass, most with suitcases. It goes a bit beyond urban grit, and--perhaps a positive--spurred a lot of discussion about Whirlpool, segregation, and gentrification. So it was a stimulating visit, just not the way we imagined! Hoping the revitalization is successful for BH.”

“Beautiful loft with wonderful decor. The pictures in the listing did not do justice to this place. You can tell the high quality that went into the design and construction. The restaurant below is really unique with a super friendly staff. Would definitely stay here again. Wish we had stayed longer this time. Kenneth is a great host! Everything needed for a great stay was there and he was very easy to contact.”

“It was perfect for our stay overnight as we ventured through Michigan. Loved the decor and amenities. We ate at the restaurant below which was amazing.”

“What an amazing flat. Great place to stay while exploring the area and visiting Lake Michigan. We will definitely stay here again.”

“The accommodations were great and looked exactly like the posted photos”

“Great place, well stocked with everything we needed. Close to Lake Michigan.”

“very sweet experience 🫶”

“Perfect for a weekend getaway. A few cute restaurants within walking distance. The condo was clean and quiet. Would come back again.”

“Great place. Highly recommend. Kenneth is a great host and communicator.”

“The loft is very well done. High end finishes and very close to the saint Joe beach. Would definitely come again.”

“Kenneth’s place was clean and well-decorated and they communicated well throughout our stay.”

“Thanks again, we really enjoyed our stay!”

“This place is incredible.”

“Charming little loft in the Benton Harbor Art district, close to available local amenities and walkable to Saint Joseph and the lake, great little restaurants and art galleries.”

“Gorgeous downtown loft-style apartment in a historic Benton Harbor building, perfect for a weekend getaway or a longer-term business stay. Beautiful renovation with tasteful furnishings and design elements throughout, and extremely clean. It's an old building with high ceilings and exposed ductwork, so there is some noise from the heating system at night. Light sleepers might want to bring earplugs.”

“Check in instructions were easy. We stayed on the 3rd floor and this is no elevator (as mentioned in the description) so we got our steps in. The staircase is wide enough to carry luggage up easily. The building is easy to find and there is curb parking in front and a gated lot in back. We arrived after dark and did notice people sleeping in the park across the street. We were never bothered though and never felt unsafe in the building which is locked. We stayed in loft #4 and it looked just like the photos. We liked the decor, and the high end feel of it. We didn't use the kitchen for cooking as we were here for a short time, but it was fully stocked with everything you would need. As mentioned in the description, the air duct above the bed is loud but it actually didn't bother us much. I wish there were black out blinds though as the light in the alley was a little bright in the bedroom at night. The location is a great base for exploring the surrounding towns.”
