About this property
Short Street Studio
This is an open studio. There is no bathroom sink/mirror as this was originally built as an art studio and was not built with one. There are full length mirrors provided on both the bathroom and laundry room doors and there is a mirror in the kitchen near the sink for shaving etc. There are two homes on the property. This is for the entire back house only. Guest access to studio is through the alleyway and completely disconnected from front house. Has a nice sized yard of it's own as well.
The studio is walking distance to downtown restaurants and shops. Other nearby attractions include Beuscher State Park, Colorado River, Golf, zip-lining.

Hiking getaway
Excellent accommodations. This property is located just 15 min from Buescher State Park. Which was perfect because we’re training for a long hike in June. The property is nestled between other properties but very private. The studio apt. Is very clean and so adorable. The bed was SO COMFORTABLE! Smithville is a nice getaway and so convenient to any of the beautiful surrounding parks. Definitely recommend.

Retreat
Wonderful little retreat. We cooked one night and ate in the back yard oasis. Walked to the Fat Cat Lounge & Cafe and Comfort Cafe and explored downtown. Will definitely book again!

Picking up dogs in Flatonia!
Checked in after dark had difficulty with gate latch. Needed more outdoor lighting. Given wrong key code but owner extremely responsive and allowed a very late check out. Pet Friendly! Would stay again 100 percent!
