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.

Wonderful cottage!
We loved our stay here. The cottage & yard are beautiful, and the historic neighborhood is beautiful & quiet. The cottage had everything you need & many great touches. Heather was so kind & easy to communicate with through the app. The homeowners left us completely alone to enjoy the backyard & pool. We will definitely be returning!

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.

Perfect and charming!
My husband and I booked this cottage for an anniversary weekend. It had everything we needed and even though it was located in the homeowner's backyard, it was completely private and peaceful. We came and went all weekend without seeing a single person. Fun facts: The Hope Floats house is located two lots down and it's an easy 1/2 mile stroll to all the downtown shops and restaurants. We liked feeling tucked away in the historic neighborhood but close enough to still walk to downtown. We will definitely be back and book again!

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!
