Escape to a perfect Texas small town retreat in this Smithville jewel built in 1895. The historic Gresham House was artistically restored in 2013 to include modern amenities, great, open spaces with high ceilings, tall windows and plenty of natural light. The space Perched on one of the most picturesque corners in Smithville, the Gresham House beckons you to unwind, step back in time and enjoy small town life at its best. The amazing architectural detail shines in its restoration, beautifully blending the highlights of the old, like original stained glass windows and bead board walls, with modern amenities and a high cathedral ceiling and open kitchen/dining. Your favorite hangout will be the front deck, enjoying morning coffee or a sunset beverage under the soaring canopy of our famous, wise 500 year old Live Oak. Feel transported to an earlier time, as children ride their bikes, friendly locals stroll by and often, a train whistle blows, reflecting Smithville’s history as a railroad town. Walk or take our vintage bicycles to Main Street, just several blocks away, and enjoy our wonderful, local restaurants, bars and shops. You won’t want to leave! Guest access The entire home is accessible to our guests. Backyard grill, vintage bikes and fire pit available. A complimentary bundle of wood provided. Please extinguish fire after use.
