We loved this place! Super updated, clean and perfectly decorated. We came to town to celebrate with our son on his birthday and this location was perfect for a family dinner away from home! Will be back if the occasion arises! Thank you!

Hidden Gem in Hays
This beautiful loft exceeded our expectations. We were looking for a place to stay overnight in Hays where my husband, teen son and me could stay comfortably. The loft has 2 bedrooms and was so neat and clean. We walked a quick 8 minutes to the downtown restaurant area. After traveling the entire day, the loft was a great retreat.

Why they chose this property

This property is situated near the start of Downtown Hays and has a lot curb appeal and history. The main house was constructed in 1948 by the local downtown jeweler. Since taking ownership in 2010, we have had on-going renovations and construction to restore the property and bring it to current codes. The house was featured in the regional Das Haus magazine in 2014 for it's unique renovations. In 2011 adjoining property was purchased and the lot expanded in late 2016. On Valentine's Day 2017, framing for what is now the Chestnut Loft began with construction finished by Nov 1, 2017. This property is one of the well known houses in Hays showcasing it's original Italian stained glass window, exaggerated chimney and bright red rounded front door. The loft building was built mirroring the original appearance of the main house and it utilized by travelers, executives, and families wanting all the comforts and conveniences of a Downtown Hays experience while having privacy, security, and tranquility.

What makes this property unique

The Chestnut Loft features a location that is unseen in this area. Being in the Downtown district, popular restaurants, bars, entertainment, shopping and art are literally just a walk away. The loft is also the only fully private property located in the city. Enjoy peace, tranquility and rest while you are here knowing that that property is yours! If you like the outdoors, literally when you walk out the door you are underneath of the pergola with comfy seating, egg chairs, tables and an experience that will make you forget you are located in the downtown area!
