The Smith House Historic Inn and Restaurant

I had the pleasure of staying at the lodge for two nights during the recent ice storm. It was truly amazing. The reservationist Shelia and Keith made the process very easy. From arrival time to check out time the entire staff was accommodating and very friendly. Shirley Welch and her Daughter Freida made soups and brought in to the restaurant for guests to enjoy. The restaurant was closed during this time of bad weather and was limited on staff. Stan the innkeeper was wonderful. The hospitality shown during my stay was very much appreciated. Thank you all so very much.

We loved our stay! So comfortable and quiet and within walking distance of the downtown square shopping and dining.

Delicious and fresh!

This was a good place to stay. The room was clean and spacious. The mattress was a bit uncomfortable for our liking but we did have a great stay. The location is fantastic just steps from downtown square. Highly recommend and highly recommend the restaurant.

Booked out 3 months in advance for our 1st vacation of a long year. So excited until the day we check in , came a hour early to eat lunch there , VERY disappointed to find out the restaurant was closing at 2 not 3 on Sunday an not to return the entire time we were there for the holiday week , The only reason we booked here for the breakfast and lunch choice. Room was nice and lobby to go to our room was cozy. But disappointed about restaurant

First time eating there in many years. My expectations were high but was disappointed in the staff. It was nice that they offer an alternative menu considered as take out and at a reasonale price. I for one cannot eat a lot of food for medical reasons chose that option. I was informed that ordering from this menu would not include seconds or refills and would be served as takeout but dining in would be in a separate room. We felt like outcasts because we were part of a larger group. The food was good but the mood was cold.

Great place.

Right in the middle of town & you can set on your balcony and watch everyone & during Christmas season it's lights everywhere!! The restaurant tops it off, delicious food and awesome atmosphere!!

Do you love dogs? Because they don’t.

I asked them if they allow pets and they said only in certain rooms. Great! No problem. But THEN they said that if the dog barks THEY CALL THE POUND TO TAKE YOUR DOG!!

So if a dog acts like a dog then they TAKE YOUR DOG. Just say you don’t want pets there, that’s your choice. But this is terrifying.

First stay at the Smith House. We stayed in the main building which has 9 rooms (I believe). Our room was on the 2nd level. It was clean and quiet. All of the staff that I interacted with were very friendly and responsive. The bathroom was recently updated and the property is convenient to downtown. 8-10 restaurants within a few blocks walk. Great location.

For complimentary coffee - The lobby does not open until 0800. I suggest you go next door to the Starbucks which opens at 0700. There is coffee available in the room but only a couple of pods.

There were some spots on the carpet in our room. Didn’t look like it had been vacuumed recently. I suggest carpet be replaced in our room.

Not an issue for me but FYI - there is no elevator in the main building so be aware if you have mobility issues.

There is a great family style restaurant on site that offers lunch and dinner on most days.
It would be great if they offered a real breakfast! All they have is a few croissants and pastries for breakfast so if you want eggs, bacon, sausage, etc. you will have to go somewhere else.

I recommend this property and would stay here again.

Food needed to be hotter.

Food was terrible. I've been coming here forever. Food was good awful

Even better than we expected..staff was very welcoming and friendly...right next to downtown square.. very beautiful location for a romantic weekend getaway..you couldn't ask for a better location .wife and i enjoyed every minute..

We waited 3 hours on Thanksgiving day for what I was assured was well worth it by everyone outside. The food was fair at best. Straight out of a can veggies with no seasoning added. Ham that was bland. Yams tough and bland. I never would have thought I would leave hungry but I didn’t find any of the food worth eating.

Food was good and staff was friendly on Thanksgiving. Things that took the shine off the experience a bit was a 2 hour+ wait standing up with a good chunk of it outside in 40 degree weather. Only had 4 in our group so was seated with other people who were very nice, but one was sick. Ran out of some food items but apparently they don' do refills. I probably wouldn't go back unless we had 8 in our group so we could get our own table. All said, they did they best they could under the circumstances with overwhelming demand for their service.
