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.

Very nice and quiet. Close to historic downtown. Perfect for a little getaway. Only thing I would say is need a better and more comfy place to sit and relax. Old chairs just weren’t comfortable. But overall perfect little place!!!
