Girls Trip
Our group consisted of my sister, niece, daughter and myself and we visited Smithville with the mission of shopping at Consuela and enjoying some good food and quality time together playing games. The Ramona house was the perfect setting to relax and enjoy our time together and it is across the street from Consuela and walking distance to downtown. The hosts were amazing and communicated with us very quickly and met all of our needs and then some. We will definitely be back!

christmas girls weekend
Enjoying the downtown affairs for the 32nd Annual Christmas's lighting festivities were just a walk around the block!
Lots of restaurants to pick from and a full kitchen to cook in also.
Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Small town charm
The house has been beautifully and comfortably restored. 6 of us were here for a wedding and very much enjoyed our stay.
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!

Just right
As the title suggests our stay was just right. My wife our oldest son, my 2 older sisters and my nephew and his wife were in town for my grand niece’s wedding. Everyone really liked the house and enjoyed breakfast at the Old World Bakery & Cafe for breakfast and dinner at the Fat Cat.
