You will find many non-essential items are included as well which will add to your enjoyment of the Cottage. The two bedrooms are roomy and comfortable (the master bedroom has a Tempurpedic mattress). Our favorite spaces are the eat-in kitchen with its welcoming family-style dining island; the detached deck in the fenced-in back yard that invites you to relax and lounge, with or without a canine friend; and a covered front porch with two rocking chairs as well as a picnic table and benches, ideal for enjoying a conversation or choosing to have a private moment, book in hand and wine glass at the ready while enjoying a lovely sunset. Guest access Downtown is only two blocks away and you can easily walk, enjoying our small-town ambiance with all it has to offer. We have three on-site parking places, one of them covered. Other things to note Smithville is a lovely place to visit with the intention of relaxing and enjoying the sorts of activities one might expect to find in a small town. Check out the SmithvilIe Chamber of Commerce website and, if you want to explore a little further afield, the "Explore Bastrop County" magazine and the associated website are excellent resources for other nearby possibilities. Smithville is convenient to numerous Hill Country festivals as well as Circuit of the Americas with all their exciting events. Do keep in mind that if you are looking for a comfy location with room for a gathering of family and friends, Ruby's Foxcroft Cottage (listed separately) is located right next door. The two cottages together provide an excellent combination of space and amenities, but you will have to coordinate the two calendars to make it work.
