The cluttered main floor makes navigating with luggage a hassle. The requirement of a lengthy tour upon check-in felt more obligatory than welcoming, especially after a long trip. Additionally, we couldn't explore the museum at our own pace, and the air quality in the room was musty, contributing to an overall uncomfortable atmosphere.

I truly enjoyed the charming atmosphere. The historical decor and delightful hosts, Frank and Maria, created a warm welcome. The room featured a cozy configuration with comfortable furnishings and vintage decor. Access to the shared kitchen made meal prep easy and enjoyable. I appreciated the peaceful garden setting. Highlights included the informative tour led by Frank, who shared fascinating insights about Smithville's history. However, there were a few inconveniences, like the dust in the common areas and the lack of breakfast options, which was unexpected given the description. The check-in process felt lengthy due to the required tour before settling in, especially after a long day of travel. It left us a bit overwhelmed. Overall, the unique experience outweighed the negatives.

Charming atmosphere with beautiful historical decor. However, breakfast was not served, which was disappointing.

the charming decor was overshadowed by the overwhelming dust, and the 30-minute onboarding tour felt more like punishment than a welcome. really, after waiting to check in, I expected at least a glass of water, but alas, only stale air. Honestly, it had potential—almost gave a good review but just couldn’t get over how neglected it felt.

The room was spacious, but the check-in tour was a bit overwhelming.

Frank is a fantastic host with a wealth of local history knowledge. The cozy room was clean and nicely furnished, and I loved the access to the kitchen. The back deck is perfect for sipping tea while enjoying the drizzle. Definitely a great spot for a quiet getaway!

the historical artifacts were fun and interesting but the floors creaked a bit.

We had an amazing stay with the whole family! The cozy vibe of the inn made it feel like home. After exploring the local area and visiting some nearby restaurants, we enjoyed the fascinating historical artifacts. Frank and Maria were wonderful hosts!

My children wanted more space to play indoors.

I truly enjoyed my stay at Smithville Historical Museum And Inn. The warm welcoming from Frank and Maria made me feel right at home. The décor across the rooms filled with historical charm coupled with a comfortable bed ensured a restful sleep.

Some minor maintenance issues.

Staying in this beautifully decorated historical inn felt like a step back in time, complete with cozy rooms and a charming outdoor setting. Frank's enthusiasm for local history added to the experience. However, access to the advertised balcony was disappointing and breakfast was not served.

a treasure trove of history with bike-friendly hosts and cozy kitchen access

Hosts Frank and Maria treated us like family while sharing fascinating local history. The homey kitchen allowed us to prepare meals, enhancing our delightful stay. Quiet, comfortable bedroom!

Very cool and unique place the hosts are super welcoming and the decor is full of history. The cozy room had a nice shower and it was within walking distance to great local spots.

It was all perfect.

Can't recommend highly enough for a quick stop

Charming room, knowledgeable host, where I enjoyed the comfortable furnishings and was thrilled with the well-maintained shared kitchen that allowed easy access to meals during my stay.

Nothing to complain about at all.
