Guest Reviews
What a great place! First the location: coffee, shopping,dinner, art and drinks within walking distance. The rooms are gorgeous and so comfortable. Complimentary drinks, chocolates, chocolate chip cookies and eucalyptus cloth upon arrival. The breakfast is AMAZING. Fluffy, family recipe pancakes, tender scramble/omelet eggs, maple bacon, and the most creamy jalapeño grits. And Tiffany can't stop offering coffee refills or anything else you may need. She made our anniversary...See More

This was our first, and certainly not our last, visit to the Katy House! The home itself was beautifully decorated and the rooms were comfy, well air-conditioned and spacious.

We stayed here for an impromptu mother/ daughter weekend. The house is beautiful and welcoming, and the owner Tiffany goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. The breakfast was excellent and the room was comfortable. We were so pleased and hope to make it a tradition to meet up here!

This past weekend my husband and I stayed for one night as we were in town for a family member’s wedding. Tiffany was really sweet and hospitable from the start. The home is clean and full of beautiful charm. Our room was decorated nicely and the bed was really comfortable! The room was very clean and cool upon arriving which we loved! We were able to control the temperature...See More

I can’t say enough about The Katy House and their team!! I hosted a retreat there, yet the luxurious accommodations (that bed!!), delicious breakfasts (I learned I love grits! At least, THEIR grits!), and thoughtful, caring attention to every detail of my stay (and my retreat), made me feel like I was the one on retreat! The whole experience felt like a hug. Can’t wait to get back!
