My husband & I stayed in this beautiful loft while our son was at Space Camp. What a stroke of luck! This place is fantastic. The owners have truly thought of everything. You don't feel like a "renter". They have this place set up as if they're welcoming close family! It is incredibly clean, beautifully decorated, and has every amenity you could possibly need. I was so inspired by the decor I redid a room in my house!I look forward to staying here again when our son returns to Space Camp this summer!
Owner response:Thank you very much for the great review!

The loft was a wonderful place to stay while on an extended business trip. The cheerful decorations made coming 'home' in the evenings very enjoyable. The loft is a very clean and meticulously maintained apartment. The neighborhood is beautiful and has great amenities for outdoor recreation. The restaurants are great and within walking distance. Highly recommended place to stay!
Owner response:Excellent Renter! Thank you Carol A.

A Very Enjoyable Holiday Visit

My family and I stayed at the loft over the Christmas holiday and enjoyed it thoroughly. The loft was spacious and accommodating. We have two girls, eight and six, and they were delighted with the fanciful art, the board games, and the entertainment center as well. The washer and dryer were particularly handy as it snowed while we were visiting Huntsville, and we got soaked building snowmen. The neighborhood is beautiful, and there is a nice little shopping area within walking distance. All in all, a great alternative to the local hotels we have stayed at in the past.
Owner response:Thanks Rob!! It snow another 8" on Jan 9th!

Well Appointed Loft

We spent Halloween Week in Huntsville watching our son's hockey games. It was great to have cooking and laundry facilities, however when we got there it was more than expected. The location was safe, convenient and unique. The neighbourhood reminded us of our visits to Providence RI. The loft is fun, lots of wonderfull artwork done by both the owners and of room to relax. Had a wonderful dinner at Grill 29, excellent food and very friendly staff. Walked around the neighbourhood late Halloween afternoon to see all the decorations and some early trick or treaters. Great memories and will try to come back to the Loft and highly recommend. It is Clean and Exactly like photos and owners are very helpful and accomodating.
Owner response:Thank you so much for the REAL Canadian Maple Syrup you gave us for Christmas!!!

What a lovely, colourful apartment - just right for us.We loved it. Great location in a safe neighborhood with a nice walking trail nearby and a great pool. The listing was accurate. The property is clean and well maintained and the bed is very comfortable. Gary and Anna are very warm, genial hosts and very accommodating. This is a very relaxing place. I highly recommend this vacation home.

Review Submitted: 07/17/10
This studio-loft is located in a convenient, attractive, neighborhood on the west-side of Huntsville. It is very well-appointed and equipped: -The kitchen/dining area is well-equipped and suited for comprehensive cooking and dining for 2-4 people "at home" -The entertainment system includes large-screen, high-quality t.v., blue-ray DVD, CD, satellite/cable. The loft also has wi-fi computer connectivity. -The decor is bright, colorful, cheerful and distinctive--the owners take obvious pride in personally decorating, cleaning, and equipping the loft with an "artsy" flair (If you are content with non-descript, hotel decor; you rely on housekeeping to pick up after yourself; and you plan mainly to eat out, this is probably not the place for you). -There is convenient parking for one vehicle at the entrance to the loft. Otherwise, parking (e.g. for visitors) is potentially problematic. In other words, the loft is best-designed to be comfortable quarters for 2, but not to be a gathering place for meetings or entertainment.

Coming from Honolulu, we felt at home with the warm summer temps. Titan & I loved the open outdoors, swimming areas, & park. The A/C was a dream. Lucky my wife did not feel the comfort (of the A/C system), she would have wanted a system installed. The colors and art work were delightful to the senses. The loft had everything and more. I am going to steal your loft design as use it for future apt rental design plans. ALOHA Frank & Titan

We enjoyed our stay at the loft. It was very clean and comfortable. The walking trail was nice. Gary and Anna are very friendly people who make you feel welcome. There is a little drive to downtown Huntsville, but it is a fairly easy drive. We enjoyed the Space center, Green Mountain, and Burritt Mountain. Mellow Mushroom is within walking distance. It is a fun place to visit.

We recently stayed at the loft in Huntsville. We found the loft exceptionally clean and fresh. All needs where taken care of including a Welcome basket with snacks and coffee. The neighborhood was so safe and friendly that I took a walk each morning at 6:00am and felt comfortable and safe. We loved being able to walk to dinner and everyone we met at the Town Center was friendly and helpful. Great place to stay.

WHAT A GREAT PLACE TO STAY! My wife and I stayed at the Loft apartment for a few days and loved it! Gary and Anna are great hosts and have thought of EVERYTHING while furnishing this loft. The apartment has a full kitchen, washer/dryer, movies, board games, books, magazines, wireless.. the list goes on and on. It is wonderfully decorated and most of the artwork in the loft was done by Anna and Gary themselves! It has to be the best place to stay in Huntsville, hands down. Thanks so much and we will certainly be back!

Our family had a fun and relaxing stay at your property. The games and comfortable beds were so nice to come home to. You have done a great job with the furnishings and the artwork is amazing. Oh, and the running path was lovely - I even saw a deer one morning! Thanks and we'll be in touch for our next stay in Huntsville.

This was my second extended stay at the loft.... really, it feels like my second home. I was truly comfortable and happy in this lively environment created by Anna's fun and playful art and Gary's on the spot attentive nature. I loved staying in the loft and in Providence with its little town feel.

Our family of three stayed in the loft for four nights and had a great time. We enjoyed the decor, all the games (from Parcheesi to x-box), the thoughtful amenities and the great location. We've already recommended the loft to family in the area for their next out-of-town guests.

My wife and I spent a week in the loft March 7 -14, 2009. We have rented over twenty different places through the internet, and this place was the best - by far! Not only is it clean and well equiped (washer, dryer, HD TV,internet, etc, but there are plenty of places to put your own stuff. The neighborhood is safe and attractive, and has everything you could possibly need right near by.

We had a great 4 day stay at the loft. Everything you could possibly need was available and the location for attractions was perfect. Both the bed and the sofa bed were great for sleeping. I'm going to buy that couch for my guest room. My daughter loved all the paintings and the colors used throughout the loft. The TV is great for when the family came home at night to relax! I would/will definatly stay here again on my next trip to Huntsville. Hope it is available as it blows hotels away! Thanks for letting our family enjoy your loft!

Once again we have had a wonderful stay at the loft. This is our 2nd trip since August visit. I could sneak away from my little corner of the world more often to stay here. We all feel so comfortable & relaxed at all time. Gary & Anna (Braden) were so nice to decorate the loft with some Christmas spirit which made it feel so homie. Is that a word? :) Can't wait until the next time. One of these days, Gary will get tired of me hopefully not anytime soon. P.S. Esp on a freezing cold night locked (ourselves) out of the loft. Thanks Gary & Anna for All you do to make every visit the best it can be. Merry Christmas. Christine, Darlene & Alex.

"We have truly enjoyed our stay in Huntsville. I wish we had more time as there is SO much to do here. Your loft is lovely. We have enjoyed your artwork, Anna. It's so whimsical & just plain "fun". We see you are a lover of cats. (We) Would like to see more canines on display - tend to be more dog lovers. LOL We really appreciate how immaculate you keep the place = love the attention to detail, right down to all the labeling! The location is ideal, yet away enough to be quiet and peaceful. Thanks for sharing. Much Kudo's. Don & Pattie"

We stayed at the loft for 9 days and as teachers we brought a school group to Space Camp. The loft is spacious and very comfortable, and so well equipped. It is situated in a quiet and very pretty community. We would certainly recommend the loft. The owners were great and we had a truly enjoyable time.

Walking distance to great restaurants, short drive to Research Park and the new Bridge Street. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This is the second time we've enjoyed the Loft, and we strongly recommend it for its warm atmosphere, comfortable amenities, quiet surroundings, and perfect management. The only downside we can think of for this place is that you have to leave it, sooner or later. :)

I recently arranged to have an out-of-town employee stay in this loft for two weeks. Arranging the stay with the owner was very easy. The loft itself is incredible - everything was clean, prepared, and decorated nicely. The gift basket is a very nice touch! You cannot beat the location (biking/running paths, restaurants, and shops). I HIGHLY recommend this as a place for anyone visiting the area (work or vacation).
