This was such a unique and beautiful place. It had everything you could possibly need for a stay away from home. The beds were very comfortable, and the the atmosphere was very comfortable. I would recommend to anyone looking for a really cool place to stay in the area. The owners are also very kind and helpful.

Hidden little gem

I loved being able to park right outside walking in from the street, felt like you walked into a whole Nother little world. Everything is well appointed. Just what you need. Felt like home only complaint would be needed to be refreshed windows and everything were a bit dusty, other than that, no complaints. We would return, and we would recommend this place to others.

Unique and beautiful place

We are so happy we came across this little gem in Carthage. We just wanted a pandemic-safe road trip get-away and not too far from home. We decided on a Route 66 trip and found this location in Carthage. It was very clean, well-furnished, and beautifully decorated. Great base location for all of our short trips in this area as well as affording us a chance to explore Carthage. Owner was very welcoming and responsive. We hope to return to this area in the future, perhaps with some additional family members and would definitely look to stay here again.

Lovely loft~awesome location!

We stayed in Dave & Carissa’s Crossroads Loft for 3 nights. We had a little business in Joplin and were celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary! We had a wonderful time there. Was so great to relax! It is a lovely “home away”~unique and special! Decorated nicely. We enjoyed the large couch, the foot rest, the whirlpool tub and more. The hosts were wonderful; quick and easy to work with! Carthage is a interesting city. We enjoyed the beautiful courthouse and the lady who ran the elevator, the coffee shop and restaurants. We enjoyed being “in” a lot also. Thank you for sharing!

Fabulous Place in Downtown Carthage

We really enjoyed the Loft in Downtown Carthage. Owners were very nice and accommodating. Loft was very well decorated and the owners did a great job keeping the place clean. We would recommend the place and will use it again if available when we return. The only thing I would say is the door downstairs could use a heavier duty lock or something? Never seem to have any reason to be concerned but would've helped my wife sleep better since my son slept downstairs. Other then that it was great and we enjoyed ourselves. Thanks again for sharing your space with us.

Great place, wish we could have stayed longer!

Charming part of town. Exterior of the building is modest, but the place is absolutely great! Ample space, clean, well appointed. Much more comfortable and enjoyable than two hotel rooms that my family considered as an alternative. Zero complaints, highly recommended. Loved looking around this gem of a property and we were sad our trip was just one overnight. Thank you!!
