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.

Perfect location and charming

This was the best 3 day get away ever and way better than a hotel. Book it! Could easily accomodate 4 people. The futons were very comfortable.

Spring Break

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.

Wow! Such a great spot and perfect for my trip. Convenient, easy to access, and close to everything, this loft was just awesome. Clean, roomy, well-equipped, and uncluttered space to unwind after air travel, rental car, and stressful day. The directions to access came through a timely email and Kris, the Host was extremely responsive via email. I have to return to Waverly to attend to my family for medical resons and this is my new sanctuary! Thanks again, Kris. You have a great little "slice of heaven" with the Swanky Downtown Loft! Bravo!

Perfect alternative to a hotel!

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!

Relaxing

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.

State Trap Shooting Competition 2024

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.

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.
