About this property

The Loft on the Square

Located on the north side of the square in historic Petersburg and conveniently located near Springfield and many Lincoln sites, The Loft on the Square is a beautifully renovated studio apartment which from its second floor perch overlooks the 1896 Menard County Courthouse and the historic town square. The loft features a mix of charming character and modern amenities. The loft is available for nightly or weekly vacation rentals.

This luxurious nearly 1,400 square foot fully furnished studio apartment offers comfortable, cozy and private accommodations in a quaint, historic setting. This newly renovated space features beautiful exposed brick walls, a tiled shower, a cozy gas fireplace, a private roof-top deck and a birds-eye view of the lovely Courthouse square.

The loft is equipped with everything you'll need to make your stay memorable. Enjoy a home cooked meal next to the fireplace or dine at one of Petersburg's downtown restaurants, stroll around the square to visit local antique, craft and boutique shops, and don't miss the two nearby wineries and Hand of Fate Brewing Company located right next door to the loft. Enjoy street-side drinks & dining at Hand of Fate or relax in their beer garden (next door).

Visiting history…
The Loft on the Square is a well-crafted tribute to the historical days of Abe Lincoln with modern day amenities. Leaving much of the original structure exposed shows appreciation to the building’s bricks and bones. Local businesses also offer plenty to explore. This will be our go-to for visiting family and friends in the area!
