Guest Reviews
I had a wonderful stay at Katy House! The B&B is so charming - it's clean, spacious, and a short walk from downtown. It's quiet, the beds are so comfortable, and the breakfast in the morning was delicious and fresh. I would definitely come back - Tiffany & her team are amazing!

Wonderful place to stay! The Katy House is beautiful! We’ve stayed there a half dozen times or so in the last couple of years. The rooms are always clean, comfortable, and make you feel like you’re living in luxury. Because you are! Breakfasts are out of this world delicious. Always plenty to eat. Prices are very reasonable. And you’ll never find any hosts anywhere nicer than Tiffany and Joe....See More

Went here for a couples' retreat and it was amazing! The hosts are phenomenal and made it feel like being welcomed home (plus the breakfast was delicious! I typically hate eggs but the way they make their omelets is stellar). The rooms are beautifully decorated and very clean. The house itself is stunning and has phenomenal vibes.
