Communication was excellent. We put together a puzzle, danced to the records in the kitchen and appreciated the presence of pantry basics. Several very good restaurants a short walk away. The railroad park and museum were fun, the trains a bit less so, but part of being in a small town. Smithville is charming :) Recommend! ##### Sharon T.
