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
Darin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Connie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
David, 1-night trip

Kind of cluttered. Slow drains in shower, sink.
Kay, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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!
Nancy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Quaint and old fashioned. No tv in room. No wifi. Downtown a short walk but not much there. 2 restaurants. 1 coffee shop. Frank was informative, friendly, and made check in - check out so easy. I am happy i chose this place to stay 2 nights.
Kathleen, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

They do not accept credit cards, had to pay cash

8/10 Very good

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.
Kelley, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
