2 Bedroom House in Whitehall

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 one bedroom, two and a half baths and an open loft sleeping area (formerly the balcony.) The Loft can easily accommodate up to 8 guests. It is the perfect home-base to enjoy all that the Whitehall/Montague area has to offer.
The Loft is conveniently located to US 31, an hour from Grand Rapids, and 3.5 hour drive from Chicago or Detroit.
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.
In our well-stocked kitchen, you will find everything you need to prepare and serve meals for 8. If you prefer takeout or delivery, menus from local restaurants are available.
The Loft is stocked with kitchen staples such as table settings, coffee, paper goods, soaps (dishwasher/dish) garbage bags, as well as bedding and bath/beach towels, and travel size toiletries.
We do not host Bachelor/Bachelorette or any other gatherings of that nature.
NOTE: Two security cameras (one outside, facing out--covering balcony, first set of stairs and a portion of the parking lot), located on the 2nd floor of the building. Second security camera located in the vestibule of the storefront.
NOTE: The Loft is located at the top of the tallest building in downtown Whitehall. We don't have an elevator, but you may enter/exit from either the Colby Street front or back parking lot doors. Please note: Outside back parking lot stairs, to The Loft, are narrow and open to the elements. If carrying multiple pieces of luggage, or you feel more comfortable, please use the front indoor stairs.
Interior/exterior staircases require effort and maybe challenging for some.
NOTE: As stated above, The Loft is located in downtown Whitehall on Colby St. which is the main street of town. We offer sound machines; ear plugs and box fans (located in the hallway closet) for traffic noise in the front "downtown view" bedroom.
NOTE: The front "downtown view" bedroom has two king beds that are divided by a curtain and the Loft King bed sleeping space (with additional sofa sleeper) is open and airy overlooking the grand living quarters.

Vicki T. Sep 5, 2025 12:34:08 AM
Summary: Our stay was perfection! We especially loved all the small touches. From the charcuterie board at arrival to the extra blankets, towels, robes, beach chairs. Everything was amazing.
Elizabeth and D. Aug 20, 2025 07:49:31 AM
Summary: Our stay was absolutely excellent! Kristin was incredibly helpful and communicative. One of the most thoughtfully set up place I've ever stayed in. Starting with the beautiful charcuterie tray upon arrival, even down to the noise machines and eye masks to ensure we were super comfortable at all times. She's an absolute super host!
Ellen S. Aug 16, 2025 06:35:39 AM
Summary: The Loft on Colby was perfect! All of little details you need (and forget to bring) were there. Blankets, ear plugs, water by the bed, games, washer/dryer - nothing was missing. Including swans on the lake we could watch from the window. Tons of space and set up for everyone to spread out. We were in town for the Leonard Falcone tuba festival and the space was amazing for tubas! Thank you!
Karen S. Jul 1, 2025 04:24:18 AM
Summary: Beautiful space!
Kelsa D. Aug 30, 2024 09:15:30 PM
Summary: What a wonderful home! There is so much to love about this place - the location, the spaciousness, the quality of furnishings, the cleanliness and the friendliness and communication from hosts. But probably the best thing are the added touches. The hosts use a portion of the revenue to provide items from local businesses. Upon arrival, we had the best charcuterie board and baked goods waiting for us, plus a gift card to a local pub. We loved this! It is so thoughtful! We can't say enough good things about the Loft and can't wait to return next summer!
David C. Aug 13, 2024 08:56:51 AM
Summary: Our Host paid special attention to the details
LAURA B. Aug 5, 2024 09:53:40 AM
Summary: We stayed at the Colby for a long weekend girls trip. Everything was just perfect! This is the cleanest place we've ever rented and it was stocked with everything we needed (beach towels, beach chairs, farmers market basket, robes and slippers, water bottles in the bedrooms, soap, garbage bags, lots of coffee, etc). We all had such a relaxing time. Thanks to Kristen for all the great info about ideas for the weekend (spa, yoga, beach, restaurants etc). And the charcuterie gift was such a great touch. If you stay here consider yourself lucky!
Joanne O. Jul 30, 2024 05:39:33 AM
Summary: Loft was absolutely amazing. Everything you could possibly need and host left special treats. Perfect location, great communication. Really enjoyed our stay.
Candie N. Jul 6, 2024 05:00:12 AM
Summary: Lovely stay! Fun time with the family in a beautiful setting!
Gabrielle E. Jul 31, 2023 12:54:22 PM
Summary: 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!
