The Bartlett National Bank now boasts 2 bedrooms in the old banker office space, a kitchen in what was the old teller station with the teller walls still in tact. The Bank Managers office is now your study and contains letters originally written in that very office in the early 1920's. The old bank vaults serve as a pantry and wine cellar. The soaring ceilings are ornate and showcase the true beauty of this historic building. You'll be able to gaze at the detail while resting on the sleeper sofa in the bank lobby turned living room.
The Bartlett National Bank is a one of a kind stay in the most photographed town in Texas! We can't wait to welcome you! And when its time to go, you won't get a list of 'chores'. We know you are on vacation! We do hope folks will take great care of our historic property, and when you leave our cleaning crew will make it sparkle for the next guest!
You will have the entire unit. Prior to check in you will receive a secure door code that will only be available for your stay. No other guest will have had your code. There are 2 front doors. The door with the entry code is the door that faces Clark Street (and is lit by the street lamp). Immediately inside to the right is a light switch. The wifi password will be sent to you along with your key code. Park anywhere on Clark or Evie Streets.
In the unit we have created a guest manual and this is in the kitchen. We also put together a book to tell you all about the bank and what fun stories we have learned about it from our renovation and talks with the sweet neighbors in Bartlett.
We love this old Bank! We've spent long hard hours restoring it and we hope you love it as much as we do!
Thanks for being our guest,
Rick and Jennifer
This is a historic town with glimpses of history at every turn. The murals are a fun reason to get out and walk the streets of downtown Bartlett. There are quaint places to eat and some fun shops to explore.
Remember everything is bigger in Texas! Even the bugs! Despite regular pest control services there are occasional bugs in Texas that can’t be helped. Old buildings are prone to have the occasional spider and seasonally in Texas we see crickets.
Please be aware that the interior staircase is historic and is only 24" wide. There is one bedroom and full bath downstairs, the second bedroom and bath are upstairs along with a twin bed in the old Bank manager's office in an open loft-like space. There are no doors on the upstairs bedroom spaces - so bring your full jammies! There is also a sofa bed in the living room (making 2 beds available on the lower level).
We ask guests not to use any candles or fires and not to hang or affix anything to the walls. This is a historic building and we want to preserve it for many generations to come! Thank you for understanding.
From 95, Turn into Bartlett on Clark Street and the Bank is on the corner of East Clark and Evie Streets. Easy access from Temple/Belton, Georgetown, I-35, Austin.
