Guest access
You’ll have full access to the entire unit during your stay. Prior to check-in, you'll receive a unique and secure door code, exclusive to your visit. No other guest will have had your code. There are two front doors—the one with the entry code faces Clark Street and is conveniently lit by a street lamp. Just inside, to the right, you'll find the light switch. The Wi-Fi password will be sent along with your door code. Feel free to park anywhere along Clark or Evie Streets.

Inside, you’ll find a guest manual in the kitchen, along with a special book we’ve put together sharing fun stories about the bank, its history, and the renovation process—plus a few anecdotes from our wonderful Bartlett neighbors.

We love this old bank! After many long, hard hours restoring it, we hope you’ll enjoy it just as much as we do!

Thanks for being our guest,
~Jennifer

Other things to note
Everything’s bigger in Texas—even the bugs! While we have regular pest control, you may still come across the occasional critter. Old buildings like this one might have a stray spider, and during certain seasons in Texas, crickets can make an appearance.
