I enjoyed my stay at the Katy House. Sallie and Bruce are great conversationalists and I enjoyed our morning meals and the time we spent talking. Smithville is a cute little town to explore and I felt very safe walking the streets alone there. I went to relax and do a little antique shopping. I got plenty of both and felt very well rested when I left. I would recommend staying at the Katy House if you are ever in the area.

My husband and I had been so pleased to stay at the Katy House several times. Each time has been a delight. Sallie and Bruce make you feel right at home and are so gracious. The house with all the Katy railroad memories make it even more special. Of course, as my husband is a KATY railroad lover as well makes it just about perfect. However, you don't need to be a railfan to enjoy a great B & B experience. BRN
