The loft was so great!!! It was open and bright with great views of the trees and changing leaves, as well as the rushing water that runs behind the loft. There are windows you can open on two sides of the loft for a great cross breeze and to hear the water flowing outside. It really is a great if you are looking for a quiet, peaceful retreat. The owners were great to deal with and I am planning to return as soon as I can!! What a great place to stay!!!
