Built in 1979, Kateri was the cherished home of Dr. and Mrs. William and Karen Toomy, who found paradise in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. Designed for warmth and hospitality, Kateri offers an unrivaled view of the Blue Ridge Mountains, where vibrant greens, blues, and a mesmerizing purple haze transform the scenery with the seasons.

Two rooms boast stained-glass windows salvaged from a historic Baptist church in Waynesboro, VA, adding timeless beauty. Solid cherry wood floors and accents complement modern design, while over 100 windows invite the outdoors in.

The Guest Wing includes the 'Something Blue Bridal Room,' a private space for the bridal party to prepare. Plus, couples enjoy a complimentary overnight stay in the Guest Suite with a Sleep Number bed—part of our weekend package for a relaxing end to your special day.
