Wonderful place to stay.

We wanted to get away for a last minute weekend before school started up again. This was a great little place for my wife and two kids age 8 and 6. We have never spent time in Smithville but we are so glad we did. We will be back not only to Smithville but to this little cottage.

Comfortable and clean place to stay. The landscape was lovely as was the pool. Didn’t get to enjoy either very much due to the weather, but can see how they would be very nice if the time of the year was right. Very quiet property and well maintained. Bed was comfortable.

The cottage was perfect for our best friend weekend. Smithville is an amazing small town with great people. The cottage is convenient to everything and we enjoyed every inch of it. The pool was wonderful on the hot summer evenings after days of shopping.

This gem is tucked away in a beautiful, peaceful neighborhood. The host is a great communicator and we felt like we were living our best life! Swimming in the private pool at sunset, every amenity and then some at our disposal and restful sleep. We enjoyed great proximity to museums, Austin and the cute town of Smithville. Would return for sure!

Perfect anniversary weekend!

The cottage was just adorable with everything we could need or want. It was so well stocked and everything tucked away. Beautiful neighborhood. It was amazing to swim in the morning and watch the hummingbirds get their breakfast from the amazing native landscaping and flowers. We loved it and would highly recommend to couples!

This property was just as advertised. Comfortable and nice. Communication with Heather was easy and prompt. Street was quite dark so the property can easily be missed at night but the neighborhood is lovely and historic.

Great weekend getaway

My 82-year-old mother, my aunt, and I stayed the weekend at this house. It had everything we needed! The only drawback is that my mom could have used some handrails in the bathroom. The house is located in a very quiet and historic neighborhood. The property manager was extremely helpful and answered all my questions. We highly recommend staying there.
