124 Lofts is a boutique collection of modern, design-forward lofts set within a beautifully restored historic building in downtown West Dundee.
This listing is for Loft #3, a one-bedroom space featuring exposed brick, timber ceilings, and clean finishes that feel both character-driven and easy to enjoy.
Each loft includes a king bed, private bath, kitchenette, fast Wi-Fi, and a 60" smart TV, just steps from restaurants, shops, and the Fox River.
The Space:
Originally built in 1893, the building has housed a department store, men’s clothing store, and photography studio over the years. Fully restored in 2018, it now features a coffee and donut shop on the first floor with a collection of boutique loft accommodations above.
124 Lofts offers four private, thoughtfully designed spaces that blend historic character with modern comfort. Exposed brick, timber beams, and natural light create a warm, textured environment, paired with clean finishes and an open, easy layout.
Each loft features a king bed, private bathroom, and a kitchenette equipped with a microwave, sink, Keurig coffee maker, and under-counter refrigerator. Please note that there is no oven or stovetop.
The lofts are well suited for couples, business travelers, and guests visiting for weddings or group events. Guests attending events at nearby venues like The BRIX on the Fox often reserve multiple lofts for a shared, walkable experience.
Traveling with a group? We also offer nearby accommodations, including Sinclair Suites and Kildahl House, all within walking distance, allowing guests to stay close while enjoying their own private space.
Guest Access:
Guests have full private access to their individual loft, with secure, contactless entry for a smooth and seamless arrival. The building entrance is located directly on Main Street, and detailed check-in instructions will be provided prior to your stay.
Free parking is available in nearby municipal lots just steps away.
Please note that all lofts are located on the second floor and require one full flight of stairs from street level. There is no elevator due to the historic nature of the building.
The Neighborhood:
1124 Lofts is located in the heart of historic downtown West Dundee - a walkable stretch along the Fox River that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
You’re just steps from local restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, and live music, including Emmett’s Brewing Co. and RocHaus, as well as the scenic riverwalk, bike trails, and outdoor spaces throughout the Fox River Valley. Guests can also rent bikes nearby or bring kayaks and canoes to enjoy the river.
Downtown Dundee has an easy, welcoming energy - active without feeling crowded and full of local character. It’s the kind of place where everything is close, and the experience feels natural and unhurried.
We’re also a short drive from The BRIX on the Fox, making 124 Lofts a popular choice for wedding guests. Traveling with a group? Explore our nearby properties, including Sinclair Suites and Kildahl House, all within walking distance, allowing guests to stay close while enjoying their own private spaces.
Getting Around:
Downtown Dundee is best experienced on foot, with restaurants, coffee shops, and riverfront access just steps from your door.

We were in town visiting family and it was the perfect spot to stay for a day or two. We loved that it was right above a local cafe (which was also fantastic by the way!!), and the check-in/out process was a breeze! Owner was very communicative, would definitely stay here again!

This was the perfect place for a quiet/fun getaway. The room was exceptionally clean and cozy! Loved everything about the loft and west Dundee! Such romantic town.
The loft was a perfect stay for visiting Chicagoland for a week and seeing the further suburbs. It was clean, comfy, and in a great location next to bars and restaurants. I would stay here again and the hosts made me very welcome.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review.
We’re delighted to hear you both enjoyed your getaway and were able to take advantage of so many different activities in the area. One of our favorite things about historic Dundee is how much there is to enjoy nearby - from shopping and dining to golf, bike trails, river trails, and exploring the surrounding towns.
It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and we would love to welcome you back again anytime.

Great host, nice room. Entrance to the loft is on Main St. There's about 22 steps up to the room but not steep steps. Room was comfortable temperature wise and quiet. Mattress was a softer mattress and comfortable. Overall, a great stay for us. Just sorry we didn't get a chance to enjoy the retro video arcade across the street.

We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the comfort of the loft and had such a positive stay with us. It’s wonderful to know the room, temperature, and overall atmosphere worked well for your visit.
We appreciate you mentioning the stairs as well, as historic downtown buildings do come with a bit of extra character. And hopefully next time you’ll have a chance to check out the retro arcade across the street - it’s definitely a local favorite.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would love to welcome you back again anytime.

Enjoyed a night away. We have stayed here a few times. Management is very responsive and accommodating. Location is awesome. Love the look of the loft! 100% recommend.
I commute to this area and was looking for a space that felt like my own - this was it! Very warm and so many neighborhood options to explore. I'll be back for sure.

The room was tastefully decorated especially the rustic brick exterior walls. Exceptionally clean and comfortable. The only slight negative was that you can hear the tv quite clearly in the adjoining room. I hope to return to explore West Dundee when the weather warms up again. I would stay here.

We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the character of the loft, especially the historic brick walls, along with the comfort and cleanliness of the space during your stay.
We also appreciate your feedback regarding sound between neighboring units. While we do ask all guests to be respectful of quiet hours, some sound transfer can occasionally occur in a historic building setting.
We’re so glad you enjoyed your visit to West Dundee and hope you’ll be able to return and explore even more of the area during warmer weather.

As a solo, female traveler, feeling safe is important to me. The 3 door locked entry offered good security. I felt very secure staying at the Loft. The proximity to the bath path was perfect, and a bike rental shop near by! The bed was comfortable, and quiet hours were enforced. The only negative I had was the bathroom. A vanity for personal objects and makeup and better lighthing.

About the host
Hosted by Suzanne Burns
Hi, we’re Suzanne & Andy -- best friends, parents and small business owners. We have a keen appreciation for the importance of small downtowns and the role they play in defining a sense of place. That’s why we located our business, Emmett’s Brewing Co., in downtown West Dundee and it’s also why we’ve branched out over the years and opened additional locations in other small historic downtowns nearby. We view Airbnb hosting as a logical extension of our creativity and passion for hospitality. We live nearby and enjoy small town living. When we’re not busy running our businesses we enjoy working on our historic home, traveling, great food, drink and companionship.
