The owner Tiffani is one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet. She's an amazing cook as well. She shared her family recipes for breakfast and was very accommodating. I stayed in the Texas Special room which was in the main house with a balcony. The house has all the small town southern charm you'd expect.

Could Any Place Be More Charming?

Katy House Bed and Breakfast is an absolute delight in a fabulous Texas small town! Smithville is quaint and charming and Katy House seemed to fling its arms open wide and embrace us with comfort. Tiffany thought of EVERYTHING - all the little touches that made our stay over-the-top. So many B & Bs now opt for continental breakfast so our made-from-scratch breakfast was wonderful. Even the coffee was perfect!! We loved the bath products, the fluffy towels, the crystal water glasses, the throw across one of the bed corners, the plethora of pillows to choose from. Shall I go on? Book your stay! You won't regret it!

We stayed here for our anniversary trip and enjoyed our stay. Check in was easy with videos and our cottage was very cute. It was clean and we had everything we needed. The breakfast tasted delicious!! Shopping and dining were within walking distance. Tiffany and her family made us feel right at home. We will stay here again, highly recommend it!!

Our stay was excellent, everything is super close to town (walking distance) and the owner was super nice. We didn’t get to eat breakfast because of timing, but it looked delicious when we walked in the breakfast room. Definitely a must stay place!

The owners B&B were attentive, professional, and personable. Breakfast was excellent, comparable to any hotel or restaurant that I have had experience with. I have traveled a good deal in my life, in both the States and Europe, I would highly recommend this B&B to anyone looking for a different experience. If you're looking for new, modern and flashy it may not be your cup of tea, but for me as a B&B it's at the top of the list.

We loved the atmosphere of Smithsville and would recommend this as a relaxing and memorable place to visit.
