About this property

Historic Jefferson French Townhouse

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.

Beautiful home, great hosts

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.

Historic Beauty

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.

Always Amazing Experience!

We have stayed at the Jefferson French Townhouse multiple times and it never disappoints! Like taking a trip back in time with the beautiful wooden floors (original?) to the super high ceilings we love staying here. The house is close to town and an easy bike ride away from lots of shops. We will definitely visit again!

Fully furnished kitchen, plenty of linens and comfortable beds. We wil definite book at this location again.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
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.
