Loved all the history and tour at check in. Restaurants and shops within walking distance and quaint main street area. Bed was very comfortable and slept great. Building needs some repairs and upkeep but it was built in the 1880's and this was part of the charm for us.

The Smithville Inn was very clean. The room had a large bathroom with a bathtub and shower. It is up a flight of stairs and there is no elevation. the staff was very helpful. They picked me up at the airport and took me back the next day. There is a kitchen where you can cook food if you want and make coffee. I did not have a car and there is not a store close by but I was fine with that. I got a tour of the museum before I left. It's a great place to relax. There is a patio outside with a table and umbrella.

My "night at the museum" was awesome!

The host was very enthusiastic about showing the place and very cooperative making sure the booking went well. All the amenities you might need were available, a lovely deck out back and a pleasant walk to local shops and a few restaurants and bars. I would love to stay again if the opportunity comes up again.

Beautiful Time Capsule

Amazing - if you are interested in the last few hundred years of U.S. History, I'd put this one on your list of places to visit. Just a great experience. Out of the innumerable artifacts dating back to the end of the 18th century, I particularly was taken back by the original copy of a page from April 15th, 1865 - I didn't have time to see everything. The property's stewards will most likely offer a tour and they are really nice folks. I thought this location was aggressively under priced.

Interesting Museum

More museum than bed and breakfast. Museum and tour were very interesting but guest rooms were too crowded with objects, making it difficult to use the space. No food service so not a true bed and breakfast. Frank, who greeted us and gave our tour was very friendly and informative about the history of Smithville.

Our stay at the Smithville Inn (and Museum) was very pleasant. We were greeted by the host promptly and cordially, and were given a very informative tour and history of the house and area before being shown to our room. Staying in this house was like stepping back in history, but with modern amenities. The house is quaint, quiet and private, and the outdoor setting was well cared for and inviting. My only complaint was with the claw foot tub which, while equipped with a shower, was hard to get in, and dealing with the surround shower curtain was somewhat awkward and difficult. Additionally I would have preferred a flat rubber bath mat instead of the floppy loose one it was equipped with; otherwise the bathroom was roomy and clean. On the plus side, the full kitchen to which we had total access, was neat, clean and nicely equipped. The bed was comfortable, and the rooms throughout are furnished with period furniture and curios giving the house a proper and pleasing atmosphere. The host made it clear that he would be available if we had need of him, but otherwise left us to our private enjoyment of house and the town.

Way Way Disappointing

Inaccurate info when booked online - no breakfast, no free bottled water, no 24/7 receptionist, no restaurant on site, no bike rental on site. Arrived -told cash only, no credit cards. A guest’s dog was entwined in our legs while unloading car, while looking through historic brochures inside, while approaching steps to room upstairs with arms full of luggage, dog allowed in kitchen. No leash! This is way way beyond “pet friendly.” Dusty, mildewy air - fan in room made it worse. No museum tour as promised. Site contact person made offer to refund a night - zero rec’d to date. We paid $200 cash for 2 nights, left after 1 night, pd for yet another room for that 2nd night at local super 8. No desire to stay another night. A disappointing stay. We had been so excited - such a total let down.
