Welcome to the beautiful Jefferson French Townhouse. Located in the downtown historic district, the townhouse was built in 1860 by one of the co-founders of Jefferson, Daniel Alley. The windows and front doors of the home are original and were imported from France during the New Orleans trade era; the home also features original cypress floors and 14 foot ceilings. The Townhouse is a Texas Historical Marker and in the National Registry of Historic Places.
The bright and airy home has an updated open living room and kitchen with modern updated bathrooms. There are two large bedrooms with king beds, and one with a large en suite master bath providing enough privacy for multiple families to stay in the home. The sitting room has a queen pull out sofa bed as well. All rentable space of the home is on the GROUND FLOOR. There is an upstairs to the home but it is closed off to guests and used for storage only.

This home was perfect for our relaxing girl trip! Spacious, comfortable and so festive for the Christmas season!!! Walked to downtown Jefferson for shopping and eating! Highly recommend this home!
We enjoyed our stay at the French townhouse while visiting friends for our annual reunion. The hosts are exception and their generous hospitality is felt throughout. Extra little touches that made it feel like home were much appreciated and the chats always well communicated and thoughtful. Will definitely stay here again
Beautiful historic home in a great location! Would definitely stay here again when in town. In a very quiet part of town, but close enough to the center where everything is located.
We loved this property! It was like stepping into the past with modern conveniences thrown in. The house was beautifully decorated for Christmas in a nutcracker theme. The location was excellent - nestled in a quiet historic neighborhood, but so close to downtown as well. Highly recommend for couples, friends, and families.

The house was beautiful, clean, and located in a quiet area. We enjoyed walking around Jefferson and eating in several of the recommended local restaurants. We would stay here again!
We came here on a girls weekend trip and enjoyed spending time in Jefferson. The home was exactly what we were looking for. We will definitely plan to stay again in the future.

Enjoyed our stay in this 165 year old home. We were on a girls trip and enjoyed spending time in Jefferson. The property was close to everything. Definitely plan to stay again in the future.
This property was perfect!! I loved that this is a historic house, yet it felt modern (not creepy). Pics and descriptions were accurate and the location was so convenient for our travels betweeen Linden and Marshall. Our daughter was married at the beautiful white chapel on the campus at ETBU in Marshall and then a reception at the Fire & Knives Tavern in Linden. Most of my family (and now my daughter) live in Linden so I will definitely be booking a stay (or more) at this house in the future. Thank you for making me feel at home!
We so enjoyed our stay - Mother - Daughter weekend of visiting museums, wandering around town, visiting coffee shops, great restaurants and of course a few antique shops - along with learning the ghostly history. We also visited one of the drive thru animal parks and had a great time there. And best of all, we enjoyed relaxing off and on and in the evenings at this lovely home. I highly recommend a visit to Jefferson and if you can manage to stay at this beautiful, historical home - I'm sure you will have a lovely time.
Amazing property! We felt like is was really neat to stay in a house built in late 1800's. Accommodations we perfect. Everything very clean. Outdoor fire pit, outdoor grill and sitting area was nice. Fully furnished kitchen, plenty of linens and comfortable beds. We wil definite book at this location again.

We liked the history of the place. Big and spacious.
Great to stay in a 1860 historic home with original floors, doors and windows! Beautiful furnishings and chandeliers! Great location and close to downtown. Well stocked with coffee etc!
Property was amazing, had everything we needed to feel right at home. Always enjoy our time in Jefferson, making new memories & seeing all the new things the town has added.
Loved how clean & pretty the house was. The individual remote controlled heat/ cooling in each room were awesome. Kitchen was well stocked. Beds were very comfy.

About the host
Your host
Jefferson is our hometown. We've since moved away to different parts of the country, but always find ourselves back in this beautiful part of Texas to visit family and celebrate the holidays. As our own families continued to expand, my brother and I, along with our wives, decided that it was time to find a vacation home in Jefferson. We fell in love with the Townhouse, the history behind it, and the beautiful historic features and architecture. So, in January of 2018, we purchased the Townhouse and spent the next several months restoring much of the home back to its original charm, while also adding some modern touches and comforts of the 21st century. We also made the decision to open up the home to travelers while we are away, and share this unique piece of Jefferson history with all of you.
