Weekend getaway
This property was just as advertised. Comfortable and nice. Communication with Heather was easy and prompt. Street was quite dark so the property can easily be missed at night but the neighborhood is lovely and historic.

Host profile image
Lost Pines Vacation Rental Services is a local, family-owned business that operates vacation rentals in Bastrop County, TX. We pride ourselves in providing excellent customer service throughout your stay. We like to be available to our guest 24/7 as needs arise. If you see us around, we are most likely on our front porch or working in the yard. Personally, I love to travel and be outdoors. We moved to Smithville due to these two reasons!

Welcome to Smithville!

What makes this property unique

We have a black lab named Bear who lives in the main house on the property. She only visits the front yard of the property while guests are staying. Most likely you will not see her, but you may hear some occasional barking in the main house.
