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 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.

We had a charming experience staying at The Katy House. Tiffany made us feel so welcome and at home and the breakfast was fresh and delicious - we really enjoyed the blueberry pancakes which were a family recipe! We loved the atmosphere of Smithsville and would recommend this as a relaxing and memorable place to visit. The guesthouse is beautifully furnished and it is exceptionally clean. 10/10 review from us!

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 stayed in the Katy Tower. Words can not express how beautiful the room was in person. The attention to detail was superb, the sheets were incredibly soft, and the bed was comfortable! Breakfast was delicious, and Tiffany's personal touches made us feel comfortable and welcomed. If I could give all the stars, I would! I highly recommend staying here to everyone!
