Great place to stay!! We walked to multiple bars/restaurants, stores, and activities. Parked the truck when we got there and didn't need it until it was time to go home. Keep in mind you'll need to navigate plenty of stairs, but so quiet and relaxing being elevated above the busy street activities below. Easy check in, super clean, plenty of kitcken gadgets and linens.

It was a very nice clean Homey place. Our only drawback was lots of steps when you enter. We stayed in the loft and there was stairs up to the bedroom, but other than that, everything was excellent.

Perfect city getaway

Came out this way to do a weekend of hiking and relaxing outside of the city and this place didn’t disappoint. Super clean, updated, and most importantly comfortable! The area is incredible and includes a lot to do right outside the door to this place. Would come back for ice cream and coffee and Bruce and Ollie’s and a beer at Ginger Road any day!

Wonderful weekend

Came to Utica for the Wine Walk. The location was perfect. The suite was clean and had everything we needed for a short stay. Communication with the owner was great. We enjoyed staying over the shop, which had great coffee and tasty food. The staff were helpful and very friendly. Will definitely come back.
