Katy House is such an amazing place to stay. Tiffany will take the best care of you and do everything to ensure you are comfortable. We came with a production team to record the summer meal program in Smithville. The community was incredible welcoming and a big part of our success and comfort was staying at Katy House! Enjoy the delicious homecooked breakfast!

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
