The Cottage is charming and cozy, built in the1920's, completely renovated in 2020. Decorated with a Texas-centric flair, it is comfortable with all essentials provided, as well as many "nice to have" items to add to your enjoyment of the Cottage and your experience of Smithville.

Our favorite spaces are the Dining Room with its welcoming family-style dining atmosphere and the covered Back Deck which invites you to relax and lounge; enjoy a conversation; or choose to have a private moment, book in hand and wine glass at the ready.

Steps away, you will find the Chamber of Commerce where you can get all sorts of flyers and guides to local attractions in Bastrop County and the Railroad Museum with pictures, memorabilia, and information about Smithville's history as a railroad town. Oh, and you can get your picture taken with Smitty, a full-size representation of what was for many years, the world's largest gingerbread man.

After getting your favorite espresso drink at the General Store, you can explore the local galleries, vintage and antique stores, or follow the map to the locations where a variety of movies have been filmed locally, including "Hope Floats." Using the golf cart could be handy for your tour and, while you are at it, admire the lovely last-century architecture of the homes and other buildings of our small town -- surely one of the reasons it's been popular with the movie-makers.

There are a number of parks just blocks away including a railroad park (of course!) with playground, a dog park, and the Veterans Memorial Park with an interactive water feature to cool off the young ones during the summer.

You can walk a few blocks to eat at one of the restaurants downtown that offer a range of foods from brunch on the weekends, to pizza and barbecue, to finer dining options. And, you can always go next door to Huebel's Bier Garden, a local watering hole purported to be Willie Nelson's favorite Smithville bar, where you can enjoy a game of pool (it's still free!) and a beer and meet some of the locals who enjoy gathering there after their workday is over.

We, your hosts, think of Smithville as a place to relax; a place to get away from the traffic and stress of what many of us experience in our busy daily lives. It's a place to get together with other family members, to arrange a friends' reunion, to celebrate a special occasion. We have done everything we can think of to provide an atmosphere that you can sink into, so sit back and unwind.

Our town is indeed a friendly place. It takes its description as a Small Town with a Big Heart seriously. Take a stroll without a plan. Open yourselves to meeting new people and see what conversations you get into.

For those who are looking for a bit more activity, you can go further afield. We are only 30 minutes from the Austin-Bergstrom Airport, we are right down the road from Circuit of the Americas, and we are only about 45 minutes from downtown Austin with all it has to offer. And, you will find that Smithville is a great "jumping off" point for further exploration of historic West Texas towns such as Bastrop (15 miles), LaGrange (28 miles) or Roundtop (35 miles). If you google "Explore Bastrop County," you will find all sorts of activities to choose from, and those are fun too.

Whatever activities you choose for your day, you can then return to your "home away from home," watch the beautiful sunsets we are known for, and ... relax.

Welcome and ... Cheers!

- "We had a good time staying at the Cottage very nice we will be back!" - "We spent a mother/daughter weekend at Ruby's Foxcroft Cottage and had a great time in Smithville and the surrounding area. We loved the decor, the beds were comfortable, communication with the host was easy, the location was just a block away from the main street and a very easy walk, but what really set the cottage apart was the host's attention to detail. Things like extra charging cords, coffee & tea, fresh pastries, additional bathroom items, etc. showed the thoughtfulness of the hosts. I was concerned about the neighborhood bar being right next door, but it was not an issue. We sat on the porch and enjoyed the local live music being played on Sat night (there was hardly anyone even there on Fri). They stopped playing around 11 and had we decided to go to bed sooner, the bedrooms are located on the opposite side of the house & the walls well insulated, so don't let that discourage you from booking like it almost did me. We would have missed out on a great stay. Our expectations for future vrbos is set high after staying here. Thank you to the hosts for such a positive experience where many good memories were made!"

- "It was a birthday present for my hubby...fishing, peace and quiet. No kids, no worries. Sitting on the porch enjoying the pond and nature.." - "This tiny home was so comfortable and had exactly what we wanted to get away for a few days. The clean air was great and secluded,with a pond and fire pit near. Excellent stay" - "Perfect place for a relaxing weekend with fishing!" - "My husband had been wanting to go fishing for about two years but between heat, drought, flooding and other obligations it has been difficult to accommodate him. When I found Minerva’s Cottage I unknowingly had found a dream come true for his birthday! I never thought I would hear him call uncle on fishing! After 3 days of catch and release to his heart’s content he decided to put his feet up and enjoy Minerva’s a little more. The tiny house was a great space- comfy bed, cold AC, full kitchen, fabulous front porch. We spent our “at home” time on the porch in the rocking chairs looking at the pond- ceiling fan, no mosquitoes, comfortable quiet time, listening to all of the sounds of the country. Mauro and Teresa were great host/hostess. I came prepared for the outdoors, bug spray etc… Mauro & Teresa had plenty at our disposal but the good news is, we didn’t need it and it had rained off and on before and after we arrived. For someone who attracts mosquitoes it was great. Thank you Mauro & Teresa for offering your beautiful place for others to use."

- "This little house was just perfect! Clean, cute, filled with extras (the scone was delish) and just straight out of a Cottage Magazine. It's location in Smithville was a quick drive to our event in Bastrop. My one complaint is that our event kept us from being there to enjoy it more!" - "We stayed at this property for one night while attending a wedding nearby, and it was absolutely perfect! The location was so convenient, just a short drive from the venue, making it easy to get to and from the celebration. The property itself was spotless, with cozy, comfortable beds and plenty of space to get ready for the big event. The host was very responsive and made check-in/check-out a breeze. The atmosphere was peaceful and charming, providing the ideal place to relax after a busy day. We only stayed for one night, but we felt right at home. I highly recommend this property for anyone attending a wedding or any special occasion – it was a great experience!"
