Smith House Bed and Breakfast was built in the 1920s by architect John Smith. The house was meant to be a summer home for the Smiths and their five children. The Smiths were financially comfortable and built an extravagant home with rooms for each family member. The summer retreat was the perfect escape from the scorching city summers with a lake and forest nearby.
After some shady dealings and rough times during the Great Depression, the Smiths became bankrupt and the summer home was repossessed. It was left untouched for decades until it was bought by its current caretakers, a couple also with the last name Smith (but not related to the original owners). The new Smiths felt compelled to buy and revamp the house, turning in to a bed and breakfast, following the burst of the high-tech bubble in 2000 in which they were laid off and searching for a less stressful and cubicle-free life.
The Smiths’ dedication to the House shines through in all corners of the house. From its individualized room decorations to the beautiful front and back yards to the delicious meals offered throughout the day. Staying at the Smith House is a truly memorable and fun experience.
They pride themselves on taking excellent care of their guests and making them feel at home from the first moment they step into the home.
