The property's two-story footprint spans multiple income-generating functions: four private guest suites with modern curbless showers and entertainment systems, a commercial-grade kitchen, a historic mahogany bar, and flexible event spaces that accommodate up to fifty guests.

The outdoor landscape defines the McKinley Inn's operational appeal.

The Keenan Group has tracked commercial property values across Bastrop County for over twenty-five years. What distinguishes this opportunity is the residential financing available through Prosperity Bank, making capital access straightforward compared to traditional commercial lending. Two days on market at $875,000 reflects the scarcity of stabilized hospitality assets in walkable Texas downtown districts. This is a business with infrastructure, operational history, and established market demand.
