Whitehall, Michigan
Welcome to The Loft on Colby!
Located in the heart of historic Whitehall, The Loft on Colby was originally constructed as a Masonic Temple in 1922 and is home to the first piano delivered to the White Lake area. This piano continues to serve as a focal point to the large living space. The Loft on Colby is one of the original and tallest buildings of this quaint town. This one of a kind property has two bedrooms, two and a half bath and an open loft sleeping area (formerly the balcony.) The Loft can easily accommodate 8 guests.

Relax with a good book while enjoying the view overlooking White Lake Bayou. Explore beyond to shops, restaurants, walking paths, bike trails, kayak liveries, or to the grassy park just steps away on White Lake. A scenic drive to the nearby Duck Lake State Park offers the sandy beaches of Lake Michigan and the warm wading waters beneath the bridge to Duck Lake.

Located just a short walk from restaurants, breweries, water, and marinas, the loft on Colby immerses you in everything Whitehall has to offer! The loft is clean, comfortable, and fully stocked with anything guests could possibly need. We are already discussing our next visit!
The property was clean, neat, organized and tastefully decorated. The owner was welcoming, helpful and thoughtful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We can’t stop thinking about our experience at The Loft on Colby! From check in to check out and everything in between, my family and I LOVED the experience. Michigan’s adventure was 10 minutes away. Lake Michigan maybe 13 minutes. So many nice people and fun little shops/pubs/restaurants in the area. The owner does a great job making sure you feel comfortable in your home away from home. We honestly can’t wait to book again and this will be a repeat booking for years to come!
Lovely, relaxing spot for your next vacation, etc. The host was very communicative and made us feel right at home. She included so many kind and thoughtful extra touches that made our visit special! The property is very unique and boasts great views too. Conveniently located right in downtown Whitehall. Recommend!
We stayed at the Loft on Colby over the Fourth of July. Kristen made our stay there very special. Was always available before the trip to answer questions about the area and things going on for the holiday. We were blown away with the Loft when we entered. Greeted with breakfast goodies, charcuterie board and even a gift card for Fetch Brewery right down the stairs which we frequented a few times. Accommodations including the kitchen/bathroom amenities were top notch to say the least. Would definitely be back and recommend this to anyone looking to get away to a great quaint small town with many things to to nearby, restaurants, lake, pontoon rentals, walking, biking, etc…
We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the loft. We appreciated the water and samples of local food that were left there for us. Our only gripe is that there is no private bedroom. The two bedrooms are separated by a curtain instead of a door, and this was not made clear on the listing. That said, we would stay there again. Thanks!
Our visit at The Loft was truly a treat. We enjoyed the views from the window seat and snuggling up with a book in the corner nook. Such care and thought was put into little touches throughout the property. We needed this time for some rest and recovery and this experience exceeded all of our expectations.
This property is large but homey and comfortable. Our hostess thought of everything. There wasn’t anything we wanted for. This is a great place to stay. Not only was our hostess amazing everyone in town we talked with was very friendly and helpful. We all loved our stay.
We loved staying at the loft the night before our wedding! It was a beautiful backdrop for getting ready photos and it slept my seven bridesmaids and I, comfortably! Kristin is a great host, from being promptly available with a hiccup with the door lock to leaving local treats as a welcome present, the attention to detail makes this stay worth every penny. We are local to the area but plan on finding an excuse to stay at the loft on colby again sometime soon!
I can’t begin to describe how great our stay was. The details that Kristen puts into this property to make sure that we had anything and everything that we could possibly need was beyond amazing. We hade the best time and we will absolutely be recommending this place to family and friends. This was by far the best VRBO we have ever stayed at and we felt so welcomed and pampered. We made some great memories at the Loft! FIVE STAR!!!
The Loft on Colby exceeded our expectations in every way!! The Loft was immaculately clean, comfortable and more beautiful in person than the pictures can capture! Kristin was very responsive and her thoughtfulness with all the extra touches (and especially the local food treats) made this one of our favorite places to stay! The quaint town and its people are one of a kind! Would definitely recommend and would love to visit again!
This place is by far the best stay i've ever experienced. defiantly a rebook happening in the future.
I really can’t say enough great things about this place like if you’re thinking about it there is no second-guessing in booking. It is even more gorgeous than the photos. The location is great - there’s even a super late night bar across the street and a killer brewery right below you. Walmart just a few minutes away, and endless delicious restaurants! 11/10 would stay here again. The amenities and kindness of the host are unmatched. Side note: if you’re looking for privacy, this place isn’t it. The two main bedrooms are separated by a curtain and the loft is well.. an open loft! Worked totally fine for our group, just worth noting!!!
This loft is gorgeous! Everything about it was a delight. Walk to a restaurant or bar, or out the back to someplace equally delightful, although we did not have time to do that. I had not a single complaint… beds were comfy, superior quality towels, better stocked kitchen than I have at home! Although it’s very historical and grandiose, it still feels very comfortable. Kristin, the hostess, is a lot of the reason for this. She tends to every detail to make your stay as pleasant as can be. The pictures are 100% accurate…we will be back without a doubt!
I have to say--most VRBO's struggle to live up to the pictures and descriptions in person. This was the opposite---it looked grand enough in the pictures, but it was even better in real life. Took our breath away when we first entered the property. We look forward to renting this again if we are in the area. Bravo to the owners. They made it so easy---and the breakfast rolls and cheese board were great toppers to an already fantastic experience. You do have to climb two flights of stairs, and someone could struggle a bit with that if you have troubles with that sort of thing. But the climb is well worth it if you are able. We just can't stop talking about the incredible layout of this amazing property. And the brewery next door and clothing shops across the street didn't hurt either....
