Pictures were extremely accurate as to the amenities provided at the loft. Very tastefully decorated. The only complaint were the beds. A little stiff for my liking. But everybody's different.
Absolutely wonderful for a complete midwest experience. Quiet, cozy and clean. The owner is a wonderful host who personifies the politeness and temperament of the classic Midwesterner.
If you need quiet, relaxing way to unplug(but still have wi-fi) There isn’t a better place to stay in Ohio than with John in Mount Vernon.Tons of space to unwind. Two great spots to sit outside and see cows mosey through a meadow in close distance and deer comfortable in their natural setting.So visit John, grab some good food to cook in the spacious kitchen and remember to enjoy the simple specialness of life.

Wonderful place to stay, quiet, clean and the host, John, met and welcomed us when we arrived. Definitely would stay here again
The Loft at Granny Creek was perfect for our stay. It was super clean and comfortable. The property was only a short drive to town, but gave us that country feel that we remembered from childhood. I definitely recommend and will book it again when we come back to Mt Vernon to vist

Great setting, well maintained, friendly and responsive owner.
The Loft is very spacious and fully equipped. It is a great place to stay for a quiet weekend or college visit. The surrounding farmland is very beautiful.
I booked this wonderful location for my husband and a friend, who were competing in a nearby airgun competition. Both raved about the house and how comfortable it was. Highly recommend.
Exactly what we needed for our girls getaway. Great location to get to Mount Vernon, Columbus and Mansfield. If we ever head back that way we would be sure to stay here again.
