where to even begin? I was planning a retreat for my team of coworkers and understandably nervous about finding the "just right" place. from day 1 John was open and communicative and helpful (even BEFORE we booked our week at his loft). John regularly assured me that the space would work for our large group (16 folks) and he was absolutely right. they even created an additional bedroom to accommodate our people - so thoughtful! His assistant Anna checked on us daily to see if we needed anything, but the space is nothing short of amazing. really, the photos hardly do it justice. John has taken many pains to create a magical space. the kitchen! fantastic. we needed grill supplies and Anna got on it immediately. the spiral staircase through the smoke stack to the rooftop deck? totally unreal. each of the bedrooms were well decorated and quite comfortable. the master bathroom has perhaps the nicest shower I've ever experienced. what a marvelous and special space. we created some really wonderful memories :)
