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.

The inn was so unique and had such amazing history. Frank was the sweetest and so nice about us coming in later. When we came he showed us around and told us all about Smithville’s history and some of the artifacts there. Can’t wait to come again!

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.

Inn/museum in an old house. We grew up in an old houses so not a big deal for us. We checked in went to a bunch of wineries went back to the inn slept and left so didn’t stay long. It’s not for everyone

This Inn is part of a museum and only for those who are interested in the history of Smithville and it’s people. This is our second time there and we loved it because of its links from pre-civil war and westward US expansion. It’s hard to categorize the property against modern facilities and standards because of its age. Instead, think of it as a stay back in time, but does have a few modern conveniences.

It was very nice, very quaint! Enjoyed looking @ the many antiques. Only suggestion I would have is to b sure advertise that it is cash only! Luckily I had just enough cash on me cause I'm a card person. My travel agent was not aware either.

This property was listed as a”bed and breakfast,” but when i checked in i learned that they had discontinued serving breakfast when Co-vid became a concern. I was disappointed, as i always look forward to the breakfasts served in B&Bs. On the brighter side, my room was very cozy and comfortable and the hosts were helpful and enthusiastic about the historic property. However, I could have appreciated a bit less of the upstairs and down historical tour. Best part was that it was pet friendly and had NO fee or deposit for my pet!

Pretty dirty. We couldn't believe the hair (human we assume) on shower walls. Mold growing on wall and pictures. (We took photos.) yard is overgrown, unmowed. There's a creepy white van in the grass. It's a very well-loved and clearly treasured property. It has family history to the owner which is very sweet.

The museum is really neat, definitely something i recommend to history buffs as Frank is very knowledgable and passionate about the history of the place. I booked the room based off of the uniqueness of the place as well as the advertisement of a private balcony, which was taped off and inaccessible. The lack of access to the balcony was upsetting, and i would remove that from the ad if it isnt accessible, but i would still recommend the property. Maybe not with kids though, theres a lot of fragile stuff around.
