I worked with Carla and she was pleasant and helpful. I know Carla had nothing to do with the weather, but we had beautiful weather and we spent many hours seating and talking on the front deck, which had plenty of comfortable chairs to set on and view the lovely property. The living room and dinning room had comfortable setting to relax and plenty of room to play games. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cooking utensils. If I need to rent housing again in Smithville, Texas I would rent this property again.
