My husband and I stayed at Katy House for two nights to celebrate our anniversary. We just found it through a Google search and what a treasure! Tiffany is amazing and so warm and welcoming. Breakfast is wonderful as is visiting with other guests as we shared our family style meal, although you can get breakfast delivered to your room as well. We actually stayed Sunday through Tuesday when most restaurants were closed, but this was a wonderfully quiet time to be in town, just what we needed. We also very much enjoyed our stocked fridge and the treats waiting for us in the main house and the board games. We highly recommend the Katy house! 5⭐

Imagine watching the sunset over a quaint town as you rock yourself on a porch swing sipping a peach milkshake...and that is the serenity you will find at Katy House.

Imagine watching the sunset over a quaint town as you rock yourself on a porch swing sipping a peach milkshake...and that is the serenity you will find at Katy House. I stayed there because I wasn't looking to stay in the city of Austin and pay outrageous rates. The Katy House was much more affordable and I got to meet new people, have a home cooked breakfast, and feel safe and comfortable in my room. I highly recommend. I plan to come back and visit with my family as this is just a perfect slice of heaven in Texas.

This place has it all!???? Quaint, friendly, warm, cozy and inviting. Tiffany has thought of it all with small details that make this B&B shine bright
The staff was super friendly and I can't tell you how many times we were asked, "Can I get you anything." The service was top notch and I am so glad we found The Katy House Bed and Breakfast.
