Sweet dream Hillcountry Cottage

We felt welcomed from the moment we got there. The place is simply lovely. If you are looking for a quiet, nice, clean and wonderful hoist this is definitely for you.

Property was clean and we were met by Noel. We enjoyed the fresh cookies and fresh eggs. She explained everything to us and gave us recommendations on places to eat. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. Would recommend this little house in Smithville. Noel was just a text away when we put the wrong code in and couldn’t get in, she responded immediately. She is a great host.

Kind owners with a quiet and beautiful property, tucked away in the hidden gem of Smithville, TX. We were welcomed with fresh eggs and homemade cookies. We enjoyed the stay and would book again.

Overall, the property met our needs and the owners were very accommodating to us, as we needed to find a place on short notice and were traveling with a cat. The house is located on a large rural property which you can walk around, and we felt very secure here. The owners communicated quickly and were friendly and left us fresh farm eggs for our stay. Check-in and out were easy. What could be improved is the level of cleanliness and degree to which cottage is maintained. The kitchen appliances, bathroom and bedding were all clean. However, inspecting beneath the bed and furniture, we saw a good bit of dog hair, cobwebs, spider eggs and multiple large spiders. The window sills and blinds had insects, and one of the windows did not close all the way which would allow in critters. The AC units and fans appeared to not have been dusted in some time, which we took upon ourselves to wipe down to feel more comfortable. The lights above the bathroom in mirror did not turn on, although there was enough light in the overhead and shower. Our biggest concern was a large scorpion we found crawling above our head, on the door sill leading into the bedroom from the kitchen. Perhaps this is par-for-the-course in a rural setting but we were not prepared for such an encounter, which gave us a sense of unease due to the previously mentioned cleanliness issues. If these issues were addressed it would certainly make future guests feel that much more at home.
