We recently stay there and every ting was perfect. Couldn’t ask adorable better, more comfortable or more beautiful. Thank you Tiffany for a great stay and wonderful breakfast. I don’t normally eat very much nor do I eat pancakes, but I had a delicious blueberry pancake. And I want the recipe for the grits you served, I ate like a pig and it was so good.

Exceptional breakfast coupled with the nicest owner and staff. Tiffany and husband Joe is such nice people, they even went out of their way to bring ice to our room when they were out and about in town....See More

The house smells fantastic, came to find out from Tiffany it is the maple syrup they cook from the bacon. We will be back and can't wait for our next staycation.

The real star was Tiffany - She was so welcoming and helpful, and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was wonderful. We can’t recommend Katy House highly enough.

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Katy House in Jan, 2024.
The host Tiffany is charming, personable, and helpful. The Breakfasts were wonderful, the house was beautifully decorated and the bedroom was large and comfortable.

My family and I had such an incredible time at the Kay House. We stayed here for Roundtop week and it was close enough for the drive into Warrenton/Roundtop but far enough away from the hustle and bustle.

Tiffany + Husband, and Shelby were wonderful to meet.
The rooms were adorable and cozy!! My favorite part was enjoying a hot bath after a long day of walking with a selection of bath soaks and homemade bath scrubs made by Shelby. It left my skin so incredibly soft!
Can't forget about the delicious breakfast, everyday was a little different and I loved getting to bond with Tiffany on why hosting and connecting people together matters
