A peaceful atmosphere in a quaint small town, Meraki Loft is a place for you to be still and hear your own voice. This loft is situated on the north side of the town square in Newton, IL in one of Jasper County's oldest buildings. Guests are invited to enjoy our relaxing atmosphere, go for walk on the nearby Eagle Trails, visit a neighboring gym, take a class at the Dance Hall Studio, receive a healing touch massage, or visit one of our many natural resources. Most of all, live in the moment.

The space
Our loft has a studio layout with a private attached bathroom. It is on the top floor (up a flight of stairs) of one of Jasper County's original buildings. The first jail was housed in the basement in the 1900's. This building once boasted the first "water closet" in town. The renovated space once inhabited by local families, also served as office space.

Guest access
Your stay grants you access to the second floor loft. Enter the building and you will find a doorway marked LOFT. From there, you will access via a private code and go upstairs to enjoy a studio style apartment space. One large room with living, dining/kitchenette, office space and sleeping area. You will also have a private full bathroom with sink, toilet and shower. Street parking is available as well as a private parking lot to the rear. A sensory garden, interactive mural and outdoor seating/yard space is available. It is perfect for a small bocce game, some al fresco dining or just a little fresh air. Bike over to the Eagle Trail system that starts at the old river bridge and trek to Sam Parr State Park! Guest membership at our neighboring local gym or a private dance lesson at the nearby Dance Hall is also available upon request. Ask about a private healing massage or yoga session on site as well!

I grew up witnessing hospitality in my grandmother, who owned and operated a restaurant and bed and breakfast. I love to take the road less traveled to see unique things, and learn about local culture. I love to host people at The Loft and introduce them to our small town flavor and provide an opportunity for relaxation and joyful moments.
