Cottage was very inviting and perfectly located to downtown Jefferson and all the great antique stores for her and the awesome food for me! We both had a wonderful time and will definitely be coming back in the future!!
Charming attached cottage nestled in the East Texas woods in Jefferson. Excellent hosts, great communication. Greeted warmly upon arrival and welcomed with many amenities. Plan on a wonderful stay here!
Adorable room with a gas fireplace that was most welcome on the first 2 cold days in Texas this year!Hosts were attentive to any needs we may have had. Everything was as described in the rental info. Would stay again at this lovely place. Grounds were nice, as well. Too cold for bikes, but they were available for use, as well. Next stay we will use them!
We had a wonderful time visiting Jefferson. We really enjoyed our stay at the French Cottages.

This cottage is cute, clean, and cozy.
The front porch is great for sitting outside in the shade and even meeting the neighbours. The downtown area is within walking distance although we found that most places close early during the week. The neighbourhood is great for walking around. There are not many cars on the roads.
In planning our weekend in Jefferson, we came across the French Country Cottage. It had high ratings and when we arrived it was justed as advertised and rated. Very lovely accommodations a short distance from downtown. Highly recommended for a couple wanting secluded elegance in a quiet neighborhood. 10 of 10!
I’ve been coming to Jefferson to stay for over 15 years and I can say this is one of the most comfortable nights I’ve had. The room was so nice, and everything was immaculately clean. The check-in process was very easy and the neighborhood was very quiet. I loved the garden tub and fireplace in the room. I would highly recommend a stay and look forward to another stay in the future.
Cutest cottage in a great location. We always stay in Jefferson when visiting for the ETBU baseball games. The accommodations were perfect and we have already rebooked again to stay in a couple of weeks.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. King size bed, 2 nice chairs, tv, mini fridge, microwave, large jetted tub, a shower, and a 3 sided fireplace were all parts we enjoyed. Jefferson is a quaint small town with lots of delicious food and fun things to do. It was a great anniversary getaway.
Property is convenient to Jefferson's many shops, restaurants & easy access to Hwy 59 for adventures in the area. Hosts provide comfy accommodations with great attention to detail. Great communication for any questions.questionsor
If someone wanted to look in the dictionary to find a perfect Getaway spot, this place would be featured. Comfy. Cozy. Quiet. Deep sleep. Wonderful jetted tub for two.
This was a great, quick get-away in Jefferson. The cottage was VERY clean and they truly have thought of everything. The bed was comfortable and the jacuzzi tub was fantastic. The hosts were very friendly and responded very quickly with any questions.

About the host
Hosted by Taylor Vaught
Hi there! We're Zach & Taylor. We love to make a difference in our guests lives by creating spaces that they love to stay. We know that life is busy & hectic for most of us and the short get-aways we plan are a source of peace and rest of each of us. We hope you can let the pace of your life slow a little while at one of our listings and truly enjoy yourself.
Why they chose this property
The French Cottages were a rare find that we came across that as soon as we stepped into, we knew that we wanted this property to be a part of our story. Each of these rooms are so charming in their own way. With the home on the property being built in 1854 and these cottages built soon there-after, we fell in love with the historic french country elements inside each room. Not to mention that Jefferson is just the cutest little town ever! Our property is only about .3 miles from the center of downtown. So just far enough away that it's dead quiet as you sit out on the porch in the rocking chair, but close enough that in a couple minutes you can be antiquing, shopping, and eating to your hearts content. All-in-all, we hope that you love this stay as much as we do. Come kick off your shoes, rest easy, and get refreshed as you step away from the hustle & bustle of everyday life. Welcome To Jefferson.
