The Artist's Cottage: workspace & studio apt for artists/dancers/writers/etc.

Brand new cottage in the middle of historic downtown Conway, Arkansas. The studio apartment has a queen bed, kitchen, eating nook, writing desk, bathroom with shower and tub, covered front porch, and a back patio with a fire pit and garden access.

The attached 375 square foot open workspace features raised wood floors, floor length sliding mirrors on one wall, a smart TV connected to built-in Sonos speakers, artist's easel, and sliding glass doors that open to a pergola dining area. Unlimited free WIFI as well as basic kitchen pantry and bathroom supplies included.

This is the perfect place for dancers, writers, musicians, and artists of all kinds to relax, find inspiration, and have space to create. Even if you're not an artist, this is an ideal weekend getaway.

The Cottage is walking distance from many local restaurants and the charming downtown shopping area. Parks, hiking, walking and biking trails, and more are just a short drive away. Arkansas' capital Little Rock is just a quick 30-mile trip where you can find more shopping, fine dining, the Clinton Presidential Library, and the Arkansas Museum of Fine Art.
