Visiting history…
The Loft on the Square is a well-crafted tribute to the historical days of Abe Lincoln with modern day amenities. Leaving much of the original structure exposed shows appreciation to the building’s bricks and bones. Local businesses also offer plenty to explore. This will be our go-to for visiting family and friends in the area!

The property was very cozy and welcoming, from stepping my foot in the door. Everything at your fingertips and so much character. We always enjoy the square and Broadgauge. I plan to stay in the future!

The room is very nice. Luckily It was the men of the family that stayed there and not the ladies. First morning there was an almost dead mouse laying on the stairs. The next day there was a dead mouse in front of the refrigerator. Obviously there is poison out and they are trying to control this situation but I will never stay there.

Perfect charming get-a-way.
March in the midwest can get a bit long so we thought we'd plan a little time in Springfield and finish touring some of the Lincoln sites we had missed before. Petersburg is just a short, but beautiful ride so when we spotted the Loft on the Square we went for it. And while the Lincoln sites were great, this sweet loft really made our time special. Well planned, welcoming lay out with everything and anything we could possibly ask for. Clean, comfortable and within walking distance to nice restaurants, shops and antique haunts. Brewery right next door made for easy entertainment! In particular, we really enjoyed the history and learning more about the Loft! Thank you. We will be back. (Apologies for the late review!)
