Summary: We had such a wonderful time at the Ella Nora in Smithville, TX! We were impressed as soon as we opened the front door. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was well-stocked, the beds were super comfortable, and the little touches made all the difference. The home was very spacious with ample parking onsite. Everything featured in the photos and property description was perfect.Incredible location for exploring the area! We loved being able to easily walk to the downtown shops and restaurants. All communication with the host was excellent. I received prompt replies, and they were always very courteous. The host made us feel right at home.
