Wonderful Long Weekend

We stayed at the Watson Barrett apartment while in town for a wedding at Old Edwards. The apartment was beautiful and clean and perfect for two couples. A short walk to everything the Highlands has to offer - we would definitely stay again.

We were very pleased with this property. It was as advertised and the amenities were to the caliber I’d expect for this level property. The owner responded very quickly and graciously during the stay as well. I’d definitely stay here again in the future.

Outstanding property, perfect location, attentive staff

We walked into the loft and were just blown away by how lovely it was. The attention to detail, the decor, the comfort-nothing could have made it better. To be able to walk right out the door and be on Main was fabulous but honestly we loved the property so much we tended to grab a bottle of wine at the end of the day and just chill “at home!” We will be back!!

Beautiful accommodations right in the heart of Highlands

We rented these units for our son’s wedding weekend and all the family raved about the accommodations - the location can’t be beat, the units were even more luxurious and beautiful in person and the units have everything you could possibly need in the heart of Highlands. Sherry was wonderful to work with and I would HIGHLY recommend staying at any of the units at Lofts on Main. We will be back!

Absolutely perfect

We have visited the Highlands several times and usually stay out of town in a mountain cabin. This time we stayed downtown for a wedding. The Lofts on Main was perfect in every way. The location is right in Main Street within walking distance to everything. The unit was very clean and modern. Beautiful and functional. The beds were very comfortable. And the heated floors in the bathrooms were an added bonus! We also discovered a music venue in the block behind the unit and enjoyed a band and wine picnic on Saturday night. Will definitely return!

Weekend with friends

This condo was very pleasant and very clean. My o Lu complaint was that the kitchen was VERY poorly stocked with cooking supplies… pans, knives, baking dishes and large bowls. We planned to do some cooking while we were there (basic cooking) but it was very difficult given what we had to work with.
