Description
Circa 1909. Shaded by tall trees, the Katy House's Italianate exterior is graced by an arched portico over the bay-windowed living room. Long leaf pine floors, pocket doors and a graceful stairway accent the completely refurbished interior. The inn is decorated almost exclusively in American antique oak and railroad memorabilia. A 1909 caboose is being restored to be used as a guest room. Historic Main Street is one block away with a fine collection of antique shops. Guests usually come back from walking tours with pockets full of pecans found around town. Smithville was the hometown location for the movie "Hope Floats."
This property has been featured in Dallas Morning News, San Antonio Express, Houston Chronicle, Austin Business Journal Magazine "A", Heart of the Pines Magazine, Texas Country Reporter, Hope Floats, starring Sandra Bullock, was filmed in Smithville. Location: City/Urban and Small town.
