Great little cottage!

We took a quick trip to Jefferson to enjoy the antique shops. This cottage was super close to everything and very cute! My only complaint was the hot water didn’t get very hot. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it. Bonus points for the sweet cat named Amy roaming the property outside. :)

French Charm

My husband and I stayed at the Marseilles at the French Cottages in Jefferson. It was such a charming little cottage. It had everything we needed. It was quiet, clean, close to downtown Jefferson, and very comfortable. We saw deer and many of our favorite birds. I highly recommend!

Wonderful time in Jefferson!! East TX is beautiful and steeped in history!

The French Cottage is adorable, very comfortable and nicely appointed! Awesome, responsive host! Note: MY BAD we didn’t research hours for the antique shops, boutiques and restaurants, and it never occurred to me that many are closed on Mondays. Oops, guess we have to go back!!!!

Relaxing, Welcoming atmosphere

Very cute cottage with all the amenities. Jefferson is small enough that it was nice to be a little remote from the downtown area, with still very easy access to everything - just a short ride away. We also enjoyed tooling around town on the bikes provided and well kept by the establishment. A great way to enjoy the architecture of the town.

Fantastic Experience

From the first correspondence from the landlord to the last, the process was flawless. But when we saw the actual cottage both inside and out we were very impressed. The pictures do not do justice to the cleanliness, comfort, and ambience this cottage has. We will definitely be back and ask for this specific one.

About the host

Hosted by Taylor Vaught

Host profile image
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.
