This place is amazing!! It was perfect for our wedding weekend… We will definitely come back, and recommend this place to whoever needs a place to stay in Waverly!!
We had a lovely stay in a lovely place. It's a great location -- and will be even better when the bridge is finished. We enjoyed the patio overlooking the river, and appreciated the seating area that afforded us a place to visit with family and friends.

This property is so cute and tucked away downtown with a beautiful view of the river. We truly enjoyed our stay!
The loft was perfect for our family. Kitchen was limited but since we were in town visiting family, it wasn't really needed. There was plenty of space for our family. Well stocked and clean. Owner was very responsive and attentive. Great stay!
My friends and I absolutely loved the aesthetic of the loft! We were in love with the spot of where it was located, we were able to walk to nearby shops and have fun. I would definitely stay here again if I had the opportunity.
Wonderful location on the Cedar River. Enjoyed the parks and our walks along the river. Love to see old buildings re-purposed and this loft has a great vibe! Very clean and well appointed.

What a charming place! The loft was quiet, clean, and beautifully maintained. Thoughtful touches and plenty of supplies made the stay very comfortable. Local boutiques are just a short walk away, and the view over the river was the icing on the cake. I stayed for about a week and it quickly felt like home.
One note: it can be tricky to get an Uber or Lyft without a car, but Kris was very helpful in pointing me to a local taxi company. Thank you! I’d definitely love to stay here again the next time we’re in town.
My son and I needed a fun place to stay mid week during the State Trap Shooting Competition. The range was midway between Waverly and Cedar Falls. We really enjoyed the studio and could have easily had a couple more family members stay with us and have plenty of room. The beds and pillows were incredible. The view was incredible and we highly recommend this accomodation.
