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!

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.
