THEN

A weathered Smithville property filled with original character and untapped potential.

THE TRANSFORMATION

Carefully restored and reimagined with bold details, vintage inspiration, and respect for the property’s past.

TODAY

A one-of-a-kind destination where local history, creativity, and modern comfort come together.
