Historic Jefferson French Townhouse

Welcome to the beautiful Jefferson French Townhouse. Located in the downtown historic district, the townhouse was built in 1860 by one of the co-founders of Jefferson, Daniel Alley. The windows and front doors of the home are original and were imported from France during the New Orleans trade era; the home also features original cypress floors and 14 foot ceilings. The Townhouse is a Texas Historical Marker and in the National Registry of Historic Places.

The bright and airy home has an updated open living room and kitchen with modern updated bathrooms. There are two large bedrooms with king beds, and one with a large en suite master bath providing enough privacy for multiple families to stay in the home. The sitting room has a queen pull out sofa bed as well. All rentable space of the home is on the GROUND FLOOR. There is an upstairs to the home but it is closed off to guests and used for storage only.

Please feel free to send us any questions you have.

Fun in Jefferson
We so enjoyed our stay - Mother - Daughter weekend of visiting museums, wandering around town, visiting coffee shops, great restaurants and of course a few antique shops - along with learning the ghostly history. We also visited one of the drive thru animal parks and had a great time there. And best of all, we enjoyed relaxing off and on and in the evenings at this lovely home. I highly recommend a visit to Jefferson and if you can manage to stay at this beautiful, historical home - I'm sure you will have a lovely time.

Nice property, had issues
This was a lovely home though we had A/C issues. Upon arrival one unit was dripping in the living area, the floor was partially flooded. We took the area rug and chair outdoors to dry, mopped and put pans under the drip. The repair was made the next day. Prior to leaving on the 3rd day we replaced the items and cleaned up the area. We are disappointed the owner appreciated our help to minimize damage but was unwilling to compensate us in any way. Jefferson is a fun town.

Great weekend getaway!
This Townhouse is fantastic, it was very old & very charming. Communication with the owners was very good before & after. The house was clean & well stocked. We loved the location & proximity to downtown, as well as the Grocery store etc. We would certainly stay here again. I highly recommend choosing Historic Jefferson French Townhouse for your visit to Jefferson!

We enjoyed our stay in your beautiful historical home. It was a unique experience for us. The location was very convenient to the downtown stores, restaurants and activities in Jefferson. We rented a golf cart and rode all around town which made parking a breeze and the weather was very nice during our visit. Thanks for sharing your home!

The house was big, roomie and beautiful. It was clean and so historic. We had a little problem with the stove(the range top was gas and the oven is electric) it was taken care of quickly. Other than that we had a wonderful time in Jefferson. We’ll definently be back.

Always Amazing Experience!
We have stayed at the Jefferson French Townhouse multiple times and it never disappoints! Like taking a trip back in time with the beautiful wooden floors (original?) to the super high ceilings we love staying here. The house is close to town and an easy bike ride away from lots of shops. We will definitely visit again!

We so enjoyed the beauty of the house and grounds and its history but on a practical side we had so much space for entertaining, cooking and hanging out. The high ceilings added extra comfort. The neighborhood was so calm and peaceful, we hope to come back some time! Thanks for everything!
