About the host
Hosted by Heather Larsen
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! Smithville is a little gem that has so many outdoor opportunities with abundant day trip possibilities. We look forward to hosting you and providing you the best VRBO experience. 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.
