The Old Fort Loft was perfect for our Camaro weekend. It was very clean and wonderfully decorated. The proximity to the nearby historical sites and museums was certainly a plus.
Good value. Reviews are difficult. Anyone who uses VRBO consistently has most likely had times when they felt the property was over hyped. That was not the case with this property.The property is appropriately priced. Not fancy and yet not pedestrian either.
This is our second visit and it did not disappoint. Close to town center, restaurants and now the Marshalls museum.
The owners are always quick to reply and accommodating.
Cute condo that is comfortably decorated. Very nice setting that is close enough to walk to a lot of Ft. Smith’s fun attractions. The host has thought of everything to make your stay pleasant and right at home!
3rd time to stay here. Perfect location to all things downtown Fort Smith. Very comfortable accommodations. Clean and nicely appointed. Huge garage. We love it here.
4th year in a row to stay hear for the rally. Walking distance to everything downtown. Very comfortable. Nice garage to park bike and vehicle. The condo is very nice! Owners are readily available.

Super great!
Upscale uptown loft is convenient to everything. Off street parking is a superb treat. Place is clean and updated. Beds comfortable! Bathroom for every room and for guess. Complimentary coffee! Owners available and extremely nice! 👍 👍
My friend and our two daughters stayed at Jim's property this past weekend while we attended a dance competition in town. The property was very clean and had all the amenities we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The space allowed both families to spread out and our girls had plenty of space to get ready for dance! We also enjoyed having the garage. We were able to pull both of our vehicles in and felt extremely safe at night. Jim was very responsive when we had questions; I would highly recommend this property to anyone coming into town.
The property is very nice and you can tell that the owners take care of it. There are a few complaints that I would list out:
1. You can hear everything. Trains, cars, and 18-wheelers. In fact, when an 18-wheeler drives by, the whole home shakes.
2. There are a lot of homeless people that reside in the area. We were visited by a prostitute at the door at one point.
3. The owners have a whole section in their welcome book that is just about fire and brimstone. My sister is a devout Christian and even she found it to be in poor taste.
4. Although none of us were expecting to drink, it should be noted that the owners do not allow alcohol on the premises and you only discover this after you arrive.

Thank you for your candid review. Also, thank you for taking good care of our Loft! We appreciate you taking time to write about your experience.
To future guests, please read our house rules and policies before booking. We try to be very transparent about your potential stay at our apartment. While we love to host any and everyone we understand that not every place is a perfect fit.
Easy to find and access the location, just over the bridge from OK into Ft Smith. We really enjoyed the stay, from the LP collection to the quiet deck and courtyard, the property was great. We only wished we could stay longer.
My family and I rented this unit to attend a graduation. The unit was just as described, very clean and equipped with everything. We especially like being able to park inside a garage and my husband loved the record collection. Thank you for sharing your home with us! If we are ever in the area again, we will check your availability first.
Feels welcoming the moment you walk in. There are bath and body works soaps and lotions at all sinks, plenty of towels, kpods, etc.
There is an iron and ironing board, hair dryers, first aid kit. They really thought of everything.
Communication was easy and Jim and Karen were great hosts. Would definitely stay here again!
This is our 2nd time staying at the Old Fort Condo. Conveniently located near everything downtown Fort Smith. We were in town for a rally and it was perfect. Close enough to walk to everything but far enough away from crowds. Perfect!
The bikes are a great bonus to ride on the riverfront path or around downtown.
There are so many great restaurants and entertainment close by. Be sure to check out Bricktown Brewery, La Huerta’s Mexican Food, Papas Pizza, Landry’s, Rolando’s Nuevo Restaurant, and AJs Oyster House. The Artistic Bean is a great coffee house on Garrison and the Bakery District always has something going on and also has Fort Smith Coffee Co.
The garage in the condo is huge. We were able to fit my Ram 1500, our Road Glide, and my daughter’s Equinox in the garage with 4 bicycles and still had plenty of room.
The condo is 3 stories, all stairs (just FYI). Not an issue for us but could be for some.
We will be back again!!
We really enjoyed staying here. Having an EV charging location was icing on the cake. Thank you!
