The Loft Downtown - The Green Street Micro Village
I built “The Loft” with a French modern feel, & had luxury & class in mind so you can immerse yourself in style and comfort. You will be just a 4 minute stroll from the German bakery, Thai or Mediterranean food. Enjoy all that the Village has to offer and then return in the evening to relax and recharge in a warm spa against the back drop of a crisp mountain sky. “Nestled right in the heart of the Village, [the Loft] offered a cozy and comfortable retreat that exceeded my expectations” -Artur
