The house
Urban CowboyBohemian Victorian mansion
The 1890s mansion runs like a communal artist house, with parlor guitars for picking and neighbors mingling around backyard fires.
“Character screams from the beautifully crafted wooden walls of this 8-room travellers abode, each one designed differently by owner Lyon Porter.”
What it’s good at
Notable
An 1890s Queen Anne Victorian mansion preserves original fireplaces and chestnut pocket doors.
Notable
The carriage house bar and backyard fire pits draw neighborhood crowds for wood-fired pizza.
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, Wallpaper* and AFAR.
The exterior of this grand old Victorian in no way prepares you for the flamboyance within.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Tree-lined streets define residential Lockeland Springs, and the bars and vintage boutiques of Five Points are five blocks away.
The rooms
Deep copper and clawfoot tubs sit directly beside the beds, surrounded by patterned woodwork and Pendleton blankets.
Dogs stay too.
Bar
The Public House
Bartenders shake craft cocktails beneath vaulted rafters in the carriage house, where glass garage doors roll open to the patio.
the design in the eight guest rooms and standalone cabin is a Southwestern–Art Deco mash-up, with custom wallpaper, handmade copper bedframes, and intricate inlaid wood walls.
How it began
The 1898 Victorian originally housed a neighborhood doctor, and local wrestlers famously practiced in the backyard during the 1980s.
