Eclipse Viewers: The MicroLoft has a 20’x40’ balcony! 🌞🌚 viewers provided! (Family*Note: “Thanks!” for asking… We are all well & had ‘delisted’ the space due to our daughter & SiL occupying it during ‘Covid’—producing Lil’ our granddaughter!) 🥰 The Place is cool. But... Staying here isn't about The Place. It's about who you are Why you came here What, if anything, you hope to leave here —leave all your cares...we'll burn em!—And, in the end, who do you—which version of you—will leave? First Off....reasons you might NOT like staying here: (And to ALL our Guest, most of who have kindly granted us 5 Stars…. You people have been just too kind for all the good reviews! Yet, no space is perfect for EVERYONE! So….) Other considerations are: we have old cool, but noisy brick streets, and if a cattle trailer goes by too fast… you can hear em (especially out on the balcony). And on concert nights.... 300 to 2,500 people are in the courtyard till at least 10:30...and sometimes the party continues throughout the building till the wee hours....mostly in the HEAVILY sound-proofed RedRoom ‘Dungeon’ on the first floor (which is NOT directly under any of the 5 FireFly Lofts). (no shows scheduled for Spring 2024) Also, please note we have wifi, but there is currently no TV in the room (bought one, afraid to put it up, afraid I'd sit in there ALL the time—had to get rid of TV 35 years ago). That's all I can think of....now on to: REASONS YOU MAY LIKE STAYING HERE..... Normally, just the opposite of concert nights… you will find the INSIDE of the Lofts to be MUCH quieter due to the 4 - 5 🧱 thick walls of The Whitten Building. If you wish to cook, a full grocery store is located on the adjacent property (a two minute walk… if you walk slow) Guests staying two nights receive access to Grandview Fitness, an on site 24/hr gym. (Should this be moved to: Reasons You Might NOT Like Staying Here…? 🙂) The Property A small efficiency apartment with kitchenette and private full bathroom. The Loft is located on the second floor of the historic Whitten Building (a 1924 brick building with original heartwood pine floors, metal ceilings with—the world's only ?—bar in a working elevator!) enjoy balcony access (via hand carved wooden door w/Sun, Moon, and Stars) and a view overlooking music and activities at Grandview's FireFly Stage & Plaza areas. Dining: Italian, Mexican, American dining all within walking distance (1 block or less to each). Media Room with 100” projector screen and 1,500 watt 12 speaker (double subbed 🔈 🔊!) sound system is reservable based on availability. (If this is important to you just inquire at booking and we can either commit to your chosen time, or let ya know what activity* is planned for the night for the whole building!) *Typical Activities: Movie Night; MMA Fight Night; board games; tele-presence broadcast concert night; and finally, we are one of the remaining Guitar Hero / Rock Band strongholds with over 1,000 songs available! If you are looking for a unique blend of Old World Charm, mixed w technology, and small town Texas life....this is it! (We call the architectural style: Gothic Western. Or is it Western Gothic. My architect and I really cannot decide.) Full bathroom, kitchenette (with stove, sink, and small fridge). (please note the kitchenette has the appliances listed but the pantries are NOT fully stocked with all the regular stuff you find in a lived in casa, more like the Residence Inn type kitchenette, though we and gracious guests are slowly building the cooking empirelette utensil arsenal). Regular size but comfortable Murphy Bed, can be lifted out of the way to provide more room during the day). And a small wooden table with two bar stools for dining, laptop work, or games! Resident's staying two nights or more will receive a free full pass to 24 hour fitness center, owned by us, directly across the street. (let us know when you check in and we will get you signed up w access badge during your stay). Another element important to some people: the building used to house a mortuary and is supposedly haunted! If that's your thing...you'll LOVE this place (you can hear many stories at the local cafe or looked up on the web....and, reportedly, you may hear ‘oddities’ on the antique radio places in the room). We (current owners Bart & Linda Clark) don't tend to see things that way....but for an excellent well-balance alternative view check out the video & article on our place at: (Airbnb.com — for good reason may I add, does not allow posting of active links: but if you search YouTube for ‘Whitten Building’ & ‘Stockyard Paranormal’, you will find a 20+ minute video by the excellent team who has spent two nights here!) And… again ONLY if interested… you may wish to inquire about a more adventurous stay guests have referred to as, The Haunting. Any more questions....just contact us!
