Sipping coffee while watching for four legged visitors was a lovely way to start the day. We also appreciated the convenience of being closely located to Bastrop, Smithville and LaGrange.

Downtown Smithville had great antique shops and art galleries along with a general store that serves up some of the best specialty coffees you will ever taste. We saw deer on the property every evening that we were there, can’t say enough how relaxing and cozy this place is. Definitely will be back. ##### Michele G.

We entered the cottage the silverware was dirty, the mini blinds over the sink is broken,could not shut. In the bathroom there are bugs in the exhaust fan light. Some of the towels had stains and some smelled like feet. The valve to turn the shower on broke but I fixed it to work momentarily! The positives are that the view was great, but no sunset cause of the rain... all the livestock and deer in the area were amazing. An amazing get away for sure if you love being outdoors. ##### Sammy P. Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Beth M.

Jan 22, 2025 Liked: Location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Nice quiet area, zero communication from host, good Potential. The structure was fine--cute and thoughtful, but the floor was littered with hundreds of small millipedes oddly enough. Nothin too crazy. We swept the whole place and carried on. It was clear that no one had given the place any attention in a while. There were cobwebs and dead bugs all around the corners of the ceiling. None of this was enough to upset me, but the following made me feel strongly that I deserved some kind of price break or rebate:ZERO communication from host.Key lock box not set to the correct code. We got lucky and guessed the right one after several failed attempts to speak to the host.No instruction on how to turn the water on or that it would be off in the first place.No instruction on where the water heater was or how to turn it on, or that it would be off in the first place.Internet did not work. MIFI device would not connect to the network.Direct TV was not subscribed to any channels, so literally no TV.Incorrect bedding supplied. We did not have a sheet big enough for one of the beds.I am not one to leave reviews typically, but this one was strange enough to warrant such action.Not a total loss though. The heater was warm; the views were stunning; and it still felt like a getaway.Thank you unresponsive host. Hope everything is okay in your world..We left the place better than we found it. ##### John L. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nanette G.

The owner was quick to respond to every question we had. The cabin was clean and comfortable. A word of warning about shopping in town, bring groceries from home if possible because the only supermarket in town is pricey. The city of LaGrange is a nice country drive away. You could do your shopping there and enjoy some of the best roads and scenery in Texas. What a state. I’m so glad to have been providentially born here.
