Lovely as Always
Super immaculate, comfortable and convenient! This property never disappoints! We enjoy coming in for Hillsdale College conferences and staying here makes it easier to hang around afterward and have those extra conversations since we are literally 5 minutes away. Love all the extra little shops and eateries nearby!

Hillsdale Graduation
The pictures do not do justice to how nice. The night of graduation we were able to cook a large family meal - pulled table out to an eight top. Located right downtown and just minutes from the college. We enjoyed our stay.

Fabulous!
Another wonderful stay at the lofty owl during a streak of beautiful fall weather! Everything well appointed as always and it made out trip into town for the Hillsdale college conference so enjoyable! Loved being able to stay for a few longer conversations in the evening knowing we were only 5 minutes away! Also took the opportunity because of the weather to use the trail (paved) out to Baw Beese Lake for my morning walk one day….lovely! Although I also enjoy walking the sidewalks in town and just enjoying the neighborhoods! Thanks again! See you in November for the next conference!

Fantastic downtown apartment!
We loved our stay at the LoftyOwl! It was the perfect accommodation for a reunion weekend with high school girlfriends. Spacious, extremely clean and comfortable, great location in the middle of town and great communication with the host. Coffee shop next door and fun boutique shopping. Five stars all around!

My favorite VRBO ever
My college-aged son and daughter and Ioved the Lofty Owl from the moment we entered! We've traveled alot` and stayed in lots of VRBO's, but this had to be our favorite. As my son said, it reminded him of Florida and New York combined. The lay out of thiis downtown apartment is both unusual and appealing. The decorations were all beautiful and functional... and were what I would have picked out for my own home... if I could find them! Also the host is kind, uber-responsive, professional, laid back and friendly all at once. Answered all of our needs but gave us plenty of space for us to enjoy our stay. This was really a model VRBO in all regards- the accommodations provided EVERYTHING we could have wanted... and the host understands how to run a business and customer service to a T. So well done! Thank you, Lofty Owl!

Another great stay at the Lofty Owl!
This was our second time staying at the Lofty Owl. Our daughter graduated Hillsdale College this weekend, and the location was great! Always neat and tidy, and the snacks were a treat. We are going to miss coming to Hillsdale. This is a great place to stay! Lot's of room (and a lot of steps, but worth it!)

Our second time staying here during a 3day conference at Hillsdale College. Again our stay was fabulous! Had everything we needed and the beds are super comfortable! Love staying so close to the college since we usually get out late. Plus the walkability of town is nice for getting my exercise done! Super cute decor and very clean! Check out all the great downtown shops/ restaurants! 5stars!

Great place!
We loved staying here. The location was extremely convenient. Overnight parking was not a hassle as we parked on the street right around the corner. During the day, we never had an issue parking out front. We were able to get a forgotten item at the natural grocery store almost right downstairs and walk to all of our normal eating and drinking establishments. The beds were extremely comfortable. There was lots of room and the kitchen as well stocked. Communication was easy and we would definitely stay here again!
