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!!

Most relaxed I've been in years

Three of us stayed two nights. I didn't want to leave! So peaceful and welcoming. Beautiful cottage, comfortable beds, beautifly decorated. Everything we could have needed or wanted was supplied. Elaine was a wonderful host. I hope I get an opportunity to stay there again.

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!

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!
