Perfectly Serene Getaway

Loved our stay! Jay and Heather were the perfect hosts. Loved our golf cart tour of the property and the fresh kale, spinach, and chard from the garden was delicious. Very pet friendly stay.

We had such a nice time at Rusty's Loft. Having a pond to fish and kayak in right at your disposal was amazing! We were fortunate to have stayed when there was a full moon too. The loft is tastefully decorated with rustic industrial chic, comfortable and cozy decor. Jay and Heather made us feel so welcomed and could not have been better hosts! We are definitely going again to this beautiful, peaceful oasis! Highly recommend!

Great place to stay!

My husband and I stayed here with our dog for a weekend. We were visiting our daughter and son in law who live close by. It was very clean and homey. Perfect for what we were looking for. We would stay again. The sunrise right out our window was beautiful this morning.

A place full of peace and joy. J & Heather shared this little slice of heaven with us & we greatly appreciated it. We were able to buy some of their eggs and fresh grown produce for an amazing breakfast. We'll definitely be stopping by the next time we're in the area. We highly recommend this place. Our furry companions loved it as well.

Beautiful property & loft. Our young boys and dog loved roaming the property- fishing, catching crawfish, and exploring. Very quiet & peaceful for the adults. It was about 90 degrees during our stay so the loft AC was much appreciated. Jay & Heather are great hosts and so were their pups. Very hot & humid weather so we had to battle the bugs, but it’s to be expected in the country. Recommend bug spray in the summer months.

Better Than Expected

Everything from start to finish was amazing. The previous reviews are all accurate. We had to check in late due to prior obligations but they were very accommodating. We needed a late check out and they made it happen. Nothing but great things to say. Looking into coming back for a weekend with the kids to swim and explore. 10/10 recommended.

I had an absolutely incredible stay. Heather and Jay are phenomenal hosts. You can tell they really care about their guests and their property. I feel like I've known Heather my entire life! The property is as serene as it gets. If you are looking for a calming, zen getaway, Rusty's Loft is the ticket! Walking my dog around the trails on the property every morning was so grounding (for me) and exciting for my little pup as she sniffed out all the critters that had come before her on the trails. I will be returning!!

Away from it all.

Jay and Heather were very friendly! Took the whole family for a golf cart tour of the property as well as animals. Exceptionally clean and anything we needed was taken care of immediately. Being out in the middle of nowhere does the mind good. A beautiful pond, manicured and I can attest that it has at least 1-5 lb largemouth bassin it cause I caught it. All in all 5 stars across the board!!!! Excellent!
