The first time friends and I descended on the Lansing Iowa Loft, I expected it to be lovely. I expected to relax and enjoy a rare weekend away from home. I had no idea just how incredible and rejuvenating it would be. It exceeded each and every single expectation. And now I continually dream of days spent there with my favorite folks. Particularly this time of year.

The town of Lansing really is the perfect regional weekend getaway. The sometimes sleepy little local is the perfect place to hike around or even bike or float to, as it's situated perfectly on the mighty Mississip. Particularly in these warmer months, there's no shortage of things to do and see in Lansing, but once you step into the Loft itself, you may never want to leave. Enjoy a gorgeous view of the river from the Loft's cozy balcony. Sit back with a glass of wine for the incredible sunset view, and cook a beautiful meal in the Loft's fantastic, well-outfitted kitchen.

This exquisite open Loft space is gorgeously decorated and always immaculate. Full of charm and personality, you'll see why guests often return again and again (just peek at the colorful descriptions of amazing times had, in the guest book). With several beds for you and your guests, the linens are exquisitely soft and luxurious. It may sound cheesy, but it's truly like stepping into a dream.

Interestingly, the Loft is actually the third floor of what used to be a historic Lansing church, since brilliantly converted into an ample, ridiculously comfortable living area.

Enjoy lots of open space and a large dining table for entertaining and socializing with guests and family. The Loft is great for family or friend reunions, birthday celebrations,  and memorable weekend getaways.

Book now-- summers fill up fast.

Happy recreating, Northeast Iowa!
