Perfect for our large family!

Everything about our stay was fantastic! The check-in was easy, the loft was clean and comfortable, and the owners went above and beyond to make our stay great! There were so many small details that made our stay comfortable and convenient. I would highly recommend The Loft on Main in Waterloo and it will be our go to place to stay when we are in town.

Amazing!

I’m not one to leave reviews, but the Loft is the best experience we have had at any VRBO. All of our VRBO experiences have been excellent, but the vibe and atmosphere of the Loft make this the best and our most favorite experience to date. Hosts were communicative from the get go when weather was not favorable and provided information to keep our family safe before we arrived. This spot is our first choice for booking when we return to the St Louis area! Thanks for sharing this gem with our family!

Wake up in Waterloo

We recently went to Belleville to be with family. "The Loft " is everything you see in the photos online and more. The location is perfect with plenty to see and do. The little coffee shop right next door just enhanced the stay. I can not think of a single thing we needed that had not been provided by the hosts. Stay here you will not be disappointed.

The loft

We were so happy with this VRBO! The welcome gift of artisan cookies - fully stocked kitchen - comfortable beds - upgrade linens and towels. We loved our stay! We did have our 84 year old mother and there are a lot of steps so if someone cannot do stairs well it is not the place for you. But otherwise it was an amazing place to stay!
