About this property
The Courthouse Loft - History with a hot tub!
The Courthouse Loft resides in the historic courthouse used in the mid 1900s on the second floor of The City House. Original railing and gate of courtroom still stands and brick is exposed to bring the history to life. Studio style layout in large 825 square feet space with separated bath and laundry. Mid century and historic style will wrap you in comfort and luxury during your stay.
This historic space is set up studio style to keep as much historic value as possible. You’ll find the original courthouse gate in the middle of the room that adds a lovely, unique touch. Sleeping areas are open to the living area and we are not wheelchair accessible, as there is a flight of stairs to the loft. Bathroom is within the loft and is completely private. We added a brand new patio! Down the spiral staircase is the brand new 7 person hot tub, seating, dining table and grill! During the day, you’ll be showered with light from all the windows and by night, the amber vintage bulbs with make the space glow with luxury and sexiness.
The loft is on the second floor of The City House, above Java Café. Java Café opens at 6:30 am M-F and 7 am on the weekends. The main building entry is shared by the coffee shop, The Courthouse Loft, and the office spaces on the second floor. The building entry is shared, but the Loft is private and is not shared by anyone else except your party.
