PERFECT

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!

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.

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. 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

Fun in Jefferson

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.

Nice property, had issues

This was a lovely home though we had A/C issues. Upon arrival one unit was dripping in the living area, the floor was partially flooded. We took the area rug and chair outdoors to dry, mopped and put pans under the drip. The repair was made the next day. Prior to leaving on the 3rd day we replaced the items and cleaned up the area. We are disappointed the owner appreciated our help to minimize damage but was unwilling to compensate us in any way. Jefferson is a fun town.

This Townhouse is fantastic, it was very old & very charming. Communication with the owners was very good before & after. The house was clean & well stocked. We loved the location & proximity to downtown, as well as the Grocery store etc. We would certainly stay here again. I highly recommend choosing Historic Jefferson French Townhouse for your visit to Jefferson!

We enjoyed our stay in your beautiful historical home. It was a unique experience for us. The location was very convenient to the downtown stores, restaurants and activities in Jefferson. We rented a golf cart and rode all around town which made parking a breeze and the weather was very nice during our visit. Thanks for sharing your home!

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!
