BV loft

Loved the location! Downtown BV was easily accessible. We enjoyed walking to shops, restaurants, and the river. We had plenty of room with nine adults spending the night at one point (sleeper pads were comfortable). Overall a great place to stay.

The perfect place on Main Street!!

About 7 friends and I stayed in the loft for our trip to BV and had the best time!! It is more spacious than the photos show!! I probably would not stay any later in the summer as there is no AC, but early spring/summer and later fall would be perfect. Right on Main Street and walking distance to so much. Our only complaint was that there was not much to cook with, no cooking sheets, no olive oil or anything. So if you are planning to cook I would bring your own items!

Main Street - Downtown BV

Wonderful accommodations, with historic charm right on Main Street. The beds were comfortable, two full bathrooms - with great showers and a location that can not be beat! It was wonderful home base for hiking and rafting, with fun options to eat just outside the "front door".

We enjoyed our stay here, and the location is phenomenal. The one thing I would mention is that there is no A/C, and it got very warm at night. But overall, it is a spacious and comfortable spot which our family enjoyed.

Clean and convenient on Main

Very spacious unit (grandparents, parents, and 9 and 13 year old). We could walk to just about everything (all shops, restaurants on Main, park, skate park, pump track, hiking trails, river, and everything on South Main). Unit was very clean and our host was extremely responsive.

Wonderful host

Cool, funky, huge space in the middle of town. Walking distance to great restaurants and shops. Melinda was fabulous. We did not bring pets but what host have you ever heard of who will not only welcome your dog but also offer to babysit them if you can’t take them with you on an adventure? Had a great time! Highly recommend.
