“the place was absolutely stunning! will be back!”

“We had a great time. This place was super cool. Loved how the interior was decorated. Well done”

“The property was perfect. Would absolutely stay again. Other reviews stated that the area of Benton Harbor was questionable, but we found it to be just fine. This is a perfect location to hit breweries and restaurants in the area. Great property!”

“I fully enjoyed my stay at this pristine place. I felt the comfort of being at home. The host was very responsive and extremely helpful.”

“Perfect loft space for our romantic wedding weekend stay! I highly recommend this spot.”

“Great stay. Good location. Cool places nearby.”

“Kenneth’s Airbnb was dreamy! Loved staying here for a quick staycation to St. Joseph’s. He was extremely welcoming, friendly, and communicative. The Airbnb was spotless, and cozy. It was only a short, 5-ish minute drive to St Joe’s and also our new favorite breakfast spot, Mason Jar Cafe! We also appreciated the nice parking area. Although it is out of Kenneth’s control, I feel that it is important for future guests to know that the area was not the greatest, and that we experienced persistent yelling, fireworks, and police sirens throughout the night which was initiated by the people who were seemingly experiencing homelessness in the park across the street. We stayed over Labor Day, so perhaps it’s not always so noisy. The town seems to be making its way towards revitalization, and we weren’t too bothered by anybody, but I do wish I had knowledge of the area before booking. Overall, it was a great stay & mini- trip for us! Kenneth was great.”

“Great stay! Beautiful loft! Enjoyed our time at the place. Loved the record player!”

“We had a wonderful stay! The loft was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Our host was friendly and easy to communicate with. We recommend it to others!”

“This is my second rental with Kenneth and I was impressed with the cleanliness and level of communication.”

“We had a lovely time, easy to get to the beach, The Houndstooth and Livery were both delicious! Thanks again! :)”

“Kenneth was so helpful. We asked questions and he had all the answers! He answered in a timely manner as well! The unit was gorgeous and was very clean. We had a great time and highly recommend this as a great romantic getaway!!!!”

“Beautifully designed and well-maintained space, we enjoyed our stay, thank you!”

“Great place! Plenty to do around”

“Great urban loft in rejuvenating area. Location in the Arts District keeps you away from crowds and touristy downtown but close to excellent restaurants and Jean Klock park (our favorite).”

“Great location, very clean and lots of lightning with parking in back of building. Would stay again!”

“Ken was very responsive, place was very lovely for a romantic evening”

“Charming vrbo.. very lofty urban vibe. Fun eclectic area of Benton harbor.”

“Very clean, nice space. Perfect for a couples getaway. Location was outside of the main tourist areas but only a 5 minute drive to get to the main beaches and shops.”

“Very cozy and clean.”

“Had a wonderful time in this cozy, comfortable loft, which was beautifully decorated. It’s so nice to be within walking distance of our favorite places, such as Houndstooth, The Livery, Mason Jar Cafe, the Sourdough House, and 3 Pillars Music (Phaseshifter), where we purchased a couple of albums to play on the perfectly set up record player. The space was a truly relaxing retreat. We even had time to catch up and read, and that book collection, wow! Overall, you really cannot go wrong here, and we are already planning our next trip.”

“Place was as pictured and clean. There are a few restaurants/cafes that are less than a 10 min walk. -You will be able to clearly hear the conversations from the alley and sirens outside”

“Wonderful spot with plenty of space. Walking distance to local favorites. Great place overall and cleanliness was pristine.”

“Very beautiful and peaceful. Kenneth is an excellent host and his instructions were very clear. Very happy with my stay and have already recommended to many of my friends and co-workers”

“El loft es increíblemente cómodo con todos los servicios necesarios y muy buena ubicación aparte q el anfitrión kenneth super atento Con todos los detalles , instruccciones y sugerencias , Muchas gracias por recibirnos , sin duda te volveríamos a elegir para nuestra próxima visita !!”

“We stayed here for few days and had an amazing experience. The apartment was very clean, well organized, and felt safe and welcoming. The host communicated quickly whenever we had questions. The location was convenient and matched the description perfectly. Would absolutely book agin in future.”

“Our stay at The Loft in Benton Harbor was outstanding and easily a 5 star experience. The space was extremely clean, beautifully designed, and you can tell Ken was very intentional about every detail down to the huge walk in shower. One of the best parts of staying here was having Houndstooth right downstairs. After our first night dining there, we made reservations for the very next evening before our entrées even arrived. If you go, do yourself a favor and sit at the end of the counter where you can watch the chef and sous chef prepare the meals. They were incredibly welcoming, engaging, and genuinely enjoyable to talk with throughout the evening. The entire wait staff made us feel appreciated and taken care of both nights we dined there. Every single dish was exceptional. We had breakfast at the Mason Jar twice and it was amazing. If you are staying in the Benton Harbor/St. Joseph area, The Loft is an absolute must. Amazing place to stay with excellent food nearby.”

“What a beautiful place. It was very clean which is very important to me. I was a little worried about the neighborhood, but after the first initial feeling, I was more relaxed. Light House was just minutes away and a lot of nice restaurants close by. I would definitely stay here again.”

“Great apartment with great food nearby. Record player is a nice touch”

“This is our third time staying in a place owned by Kenneth! It is always an amazing stay and the place always looks better in person than in the pictures! The craftsman ship of his stays are something we strive for in a home one day! The exposed brick, industrial vibes and the color pops make it a beautiful space! Highly recommend this for future stays and such close proximity to many many things to do!”

“GO TO THE HOUNDSTOOTH. place was awesome”

“Nice clean place, just what I needed for the time being!”

“This loft was the PERFECT spot for a girls weekend. The restaurant below was the best meal I’ve had in a while and the location was perfect very walkable to places nearby or a quick drive to get to the water”

“It was a pleasure staying at Kenneth’s place. It was everything as described plus more. Would highly recommend if you’re staying in the area”

“The location is fantastic. Amazing restaurants within a block of the loft (including right below!) and only 5-10 minutes from St. Joe's. Perfect base for exploring the SW Michigan Wineries. The area is up and coming but we always felt safe. The loft was very clean and comfortable. Would recommend/go back!”

“Kenneth was very thorough and considerate. He’s great with attention to detail especially with instructions, greeting, follow up, and exit. He was quick to respond. The place was just as it was pictured: clean, great architecture, and nice amenities.”

“The loft was impeccably clean. Directions were clear and check in was easy. Host was very responsive. You do hear the restaurant below but if you’re watching TV, you hardly notice. And they quite done as the closer. There are neighbors above (I believe) with a small child that made some noise each morning. That said, the loft itself was great and I was up anyway. Close to everything. No problems parking or accessing the property. Shower was wonderful. Would book again. ”

“Property as described. Clean and included everything needed for a weekend stay. Easy check-in and checkout, very responsive owner/property manager. We enjoyed our stay, the rental, and the private parking. Quick drive to St Joseph, Silver Beach and South Haven. A lot of Benton Harbor seems to close up by 5pm, so we spent time there in the earlier part it day, and visited other areas in the afternoon. Overall a great experience!”

“Great spot - very clean and easy to access. Kenneth was very communicative and a great host.”

“Definitely love this place”

“Kenneth’s place was beautiful, spotless, and had every amenity I could have wanted. His directions to access the space were clear. About a 45 minute drive to Saugatuck which I happily made several times, plus loved Saint Joseph which is right near the Airbnb. Great coffee shops nearby and Houndstooth under the loft was delicious. Loved having this space as a comfy return each night after adventuring.”

“Beautiful space! Owner was amazing and gave us all the info we needed. We stayed for our wedding and it was perfect! ”

“Ken’s loft was clean and cozy! We were somewhat skeptical of the location because of the area, but we never felt unsafe because of the private parking lot and security of the building. Only a 5-6 minute drive from St. Joe and Silver Beach. Ken was extremely responsive and friendly! Would stay again.”

“Apartment was really nice and clean. The check-in process was easy and it was nice having a locked parking lot. The owner was super responsive when we had an issue and even door-dashed us a replacement set of sheets. The building is nice and quiet, but the neighborhood was a bit up and coming. We would stay here again! ”

“Lovely unit in a historic building. Very cute and homey. Easy walk to the Mason Jar and other great restaurants. Quick drive to Jean Klock and other beaches.”

“Great location being above a delicious restaurant. I also enjoyed walking to get coffee or lunch at nearby establishments. Benton Harbor was so charming!”
