Wonderful stay’
Bessie’s Landing is always a respite from our hectic city life. The snacks she provides are substantial and we always love her delicious homemade blueberry bread. It is always exceptionally clean and we love her welcoming decor. The front porch, privacy, and goldfish pond is a definite plus!!

I would suggest that first time VRBO renters not stay at this property. They will be so happy they will be disappointed when they stay anywhere else. This is by far the best VRBO that we have stayed at and we have stayed at quite a few. The owner is a sweetheart. The property was Fabulous. Communication was Fantastic. We definitely will be back.

Couldn't have been better
This was my first booking outside of a hotel and it couldn't have gone better. Elaine was super quick with communication and always friendly and helpful while also not being the pushy sort or inserting herself, which we introverts loved and appreciated so much! The guest house was beautiful and had everything we could have needed and was a vacation in itself.

The perfect spot
Bessie’s Landing is a charming, private cottage next to the “big house” where the owners live. Super friendly couple and welcoming. Such fun decor and attention to detail and comfort. We had everything we needed including a great location near all the many, many attractions in downtown but still quiet, private and relaxing at the cottage. It’s just the perfect spot for a visit to Jefferson!

A wonderful place to stay in Jefferson
The cottage is beautiful and well-kept. Elaine (the hostess) is very kind and has many stories to share about the area. The location is an easy walk to downtown Jefferson. Another very helpful thing is that recommendations on places to visit from past guests are displayed on the wall. Overall it was a great stay!

5 star hospitality
This rental was so cute!!! Everything was exactly as described. It was clean and had easy access to everything you might want to do in Jefferson or the surrounding areas. I could not believe the amount of supplies the owners had stocked! I’ve never had a fridge full of milk, eggs, sodas, teas and frozen goodies just waiting for us. They also had snacks and a blueberry loaf too:-) It was very much appreciated, cause we had spent all day in Linden working in the heat trying to rehab an old cabin on my sister’s land. We were wiped out coming in and Bessie’s Landing was truly a blessing and cool refuge for us. The front porch was so inviting, and the big screen TV was perfect for movie nights. The beds were comfy enough…I think the master bed could use a mattress topper, but other than that, I think we were all able to get some rest. All in all, We had a great time exploring the area and learning more about Jefferson and plan on coming back for sure! Thank you Elaine for your hospitality!!

My mom and I have stayed here 2 times now. We just love everything about Bessie's Landing! Elaine goes above and beyond as the host. The place is super clean, lovely, cozy, charming, and so much more! There are yummy things in the refrigerator and freezer, as well as extra snacks provided. We love to sit on the porch and listen to the water feature with a Koi pond. It is so inviting! We look forward to returning soon!

We enjoyed out visit immensely! We relaxed sitting on the front porch in such a peaceful setting. The cottage was cozy and wonderfully stocked with snacks, drinks and healthy breakfast choices. We felt very welcome and comfortable. Great dining and shopping in the Jefferson area which is all very close with very pleasant atmosphere.

I absolutely LOVED staying here! The property was gorgeous, the owners were AMAZING! The host went WAY above and beyond by stocking the fridge and freezer with drinks and food. A fresh loaf of bread was waiting for us.... really, truly could see myself coming down for a visit just to sit on the porch and visit with the hosts. This is definitely a treasure in Jefferson, and I would highly recommend staying here! What a great memory for me and my mom.

Anniversary Trip
I rented this for my parents for their 62nd anniversary. They enjoyed the stocked refrigerator and kitchen. They appreciated the beautiful property that the house sits on. The host provides abundant reading material on the history of Jefferson as well as pamphlets of restaurants and things to do in and around town.
