A historic loft where you can breathe easy.
A renovated 1914 loft in the heart of New Ulm’s historic downtown. Fragrance-free, non-toxic, and steps from the Glockenspiel.
The Clean Stay
A little crunchy, on purpose.
Walk in and notice what isn’t there. No plug-in air fresheners. No perfumed sprays. No scent clinging to the sheets. Jen keeps the loft the way she keeps her own home, so you can rest easy and breathe easy.
If strong scents bother you, or you simply like knowing what you are sleeping on, you will feel the difference.
The Loft
Your own place above historic downtown
Morning coffee at the kitchen island. An easy walk to shops, museums, and dinner. A quiet, dark bedroom when the day is done. This newly renovated two-bedroom loft pairs modern comfort with the character of a building that has stood downtown since 1914: exposed brick, 11-foot ceilings, and big windows full of natural light.

“Spacious, well laid out, beautifully decorated, and in great condition. We loved the location right downtown: the bookstore, the Grand Art Center, Turner Hall, and several places to eat were all easily walkable.”

The Guten Tag building
A short history of the building is coming, with original photos from Jen’s collection.
A German town with a full calendar
New Ulm wears its German heritage proudly, and it celebrates all year. Visitors come from across Minnesota and beyond for Oktoberfest, Bavarian Blast, Fasching, and a steady run of festivals, with Schell’s Brewery, Martin Luther College, the Hermann Monument, and the Glockenspiel all close by. The Guten Tag Loft puts you right in the middle of it.
