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!!!

The Marseille Cottage is definitely a place to stay when visiting Jefferson, Tx. It was very clean, cozy and welcoming like you were at your own home. They provided some waters, snacks, bedding, and towels/wash rags. If we go back to Jefferson, we will stay here again.

Iron, hair dryer, coffee, snacks, waters in the fridge, slippers, and tons of towels! 10 of 10 on cleanliness. This was a my second stay at Zach and Taylor's French Cottage rentals. They are excellent communicators and take care of every detail to make the stay feel like home. There was even a mini makeup magnifying mirror and ample lighting. EVERY DETAIL! I absolutely will recommend and will be back!
