Extra spacious

Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
Stay in the heart of historic Old Town Lorena in this charming upstairs retreat! Nestled just off I-35, this restored space occupies the entire 2nd floor above an art school. This storied building has served as a masonic lodge, antique gallery, and The Village Lamplighter with each layer adding to its unique character. Step outside and enjoy walkable access to local coffee, dining, curated antiques, and a children’s park; or drive 7 min to a local winery, or 15 min to Baylor and Magnolia Market.

Guest access
Guests have two private entrances at the back of this historic building, accessible via a first floor entrance with an indoor staircase or an external staircase leading to the second floor. You'll have exclusive access to the entire second story, which is completely separate from the first floor art studio by a locked interior door. The first floor is an art school, but is not part of the guest space. However, guests are welcome to request to book the space for events if interested!

Other things to note
The building is located next to the train tracks, which separate it from the nearby local park that is perfect for a quick stroll or picnic. Across the street is the town’s fire department, and the police station is just down the block. These neighboring services contribute to a strong sense of safety and community in this charming historic area.

My work: CPA, mother, artist
Fun fact: Pursuing my dream to open an art school
Artist turned accountant turned host! I’m Karen- wife, mom of 3, husky owner, and lover of cozy spaces with creative magic. After 8 years in corporate finance, I traded spreadsheets for storybook charm by opening an Airbnb and art school. Welcome to my historic Texas building on a street full of antiques, coffee, and small town dining. It’s a dream come true for this Gilmore Girls fan living her own little Stars Hollow life.
