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.

Beautiful home, great hosts

We enjoyed our stay at the French townhouse while visiting friends for our annual reunion. The hosts are exception and their generous hospitality is felt throughout. Extra little touches that made it feel like home were much appreciated and the chats always well communicated and thoughtful. Will definitely stay here again

Historic Beauty

We loved this property! It was like stepping into the past with modern conveniences thrown in. The house was beautifully decorated for Christmas in a nutcracker theme. The location was excellent - nestled in a quiet historic neighborhood, but so close to downtown as well. Highly recommend for couples, friends, and families.

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.

PERFECT

This property was perfect!! I loved that this is a historic house, yet it felt modern (not creepy). Pics and descriptions were accurate and the location was so convenient for our travels betweeen Linden and Marshall. Our daughter was married at the beautiful white chapel on the campus at ETBU in Marshall and then a reception at the Fire & Knives Tavern in Linden. Most of my family (and now my daughter) live in Linden so I will definitely be booking a stay (or more) at this house in the future. Thank you for making me feel at home!
