Cozy Studio Cottage on 22 Acres
Welcome to Country Way Cottage! Enjoy a cozy studio cottage nestled on 22 acres of peaceful Texas countryside just outside Smithville. This comfortable open studio is designed for up to 2 guests and includes a cozy bed, kitchenette, private bathroom, Wi-Fi, air conditioning and heating, and a dedicated workspace. Step outside and relax on your private porch, soak in the hot tub, enjoy the fire pit, or explore the trails and open spaces around Country Way Ranch. You may even meet our friendly goats and free-range chickens along the way! Country Way Cottage is located on a shared 22-acre rural property. The owners live on-site, along with a long-term renter, and there is another cottage on the property. Your cottage and designated outdoor area are your own, while the larger property is shared. A few things to know before booking: This is a studio layout, with the sleeping and living areas together rather than a separate bedroom. The property is accessed by a dirt country road that is normally easy to drive but can become muddy or rough after rain. And yes, this is the country! You may encounter insects, wildlife, goats, chickens, and other country critters. We work hard to keep the cottage clean and comfortable, but an occasional bug, leaf, or bit of dirt can sometimes make its way inside. If you're looking for a peaceful place to relax, enjoy nature, and experience a little Texas country living, we'd love to welcome you to Country Way Cottage!

I was out here on a work trip - great location for a quick trip. Just the correct size for one person. And the goats are amazing!!!

Thank you Jim! And I want to apologize that it looks like the fire alarm decided to trip during your stay. Hope you choose us again if you are in the area again!
The property is outside of Smithville. It is a bit remote. Which is fine.The hosts are great. They gave me tips on places to go for the night. I was there which was very appreciated.Please read the instructions that the host provides in advance of your arrival. And, take a screenshot. Because, I did not have Wi-Fi until I logged into the Wi-Fi on the property. This was my error, not theirs because they clearly communicated everything in advance.It is small and cute and the coffee bar was much appreciated.I plan on returning to Smithville at some point. Hopefully in 2028 when they have the 30 year celebration of Hope floats being filmed there. And, I will stay at this place again. They were great.
The space is incredibly relaxing and peaceful. The deck looks directly into trees and provides an excellent opportunity to decompress. There are chickens and goats on the property that are free to roam. Though I enjoyed their company, expect the goats to keep you up at night if they end up liking you as they slept outside my door and got up to move around throughout the night which will interrupt your sleep as their feet and the deck create noise. I'm sure that the host can help with that if you reached out. I happened to enjoy their company so I never mentioned it.
Way off the beaten path, this small, cozy cabin was exactly the relaxing and private getaway I was looking for. I hiked at Beuscher State Park on my way in, but didn't go back since I was able to walk the 22 acres on the property, with little trails and trees everywhere, it was great. The owners live on the property as well, but I never saw them, giving me plenty of privacy. The chickens and three goats were fun to have around, but they left me alone if I ignored them.

About the host
Hosted by Cody Sturgeon
We moved from Maui, Hawaii to Texas in 2016 and fell in love with the slower pace and wide-open spaces of country living. We created Country Way Ranch as a place where family, nature, and a little peace and quiet can come together. We enjoy sharing our little piece of Texas with guests and helping them feel comfortable and welcome during their stay. We're nearby if you need us, but we also respect your space.
Why they chose this property
We love this area because it offers peaceful country living while still being close to downtown Smithville. We enjoy the trees, open spaces, wildlife, and quiet surroundings, while having local restaurants, shops, antiques, and small-town charm just a short drive away.
What makes this property unique
Country Way Cottage offers a cozy place to stay surrounded by 22 acres of Texas countryside. Guests can relax in the hot tub, enjoy the fire pit and private porch, explore the property and trails, and experience country life with our goats, chickens, and surrounding wildlife. It's a simple, peaceful place to slow down and unwind.
