I enjoyed my stay after the manager offered me an upgrade simply because nobody else was staying in the other cabin for the weekend. The cabin was clean and refreshing. I enjoyed my stay!

Anniversary Getaway
The Bordeaux Room was the perfect getaway spot for our 33rd anniversary. The stay started with the accurate description and ease of locating this room online. With an unexpected change in out plans, I was completely surprised to find the Bordeaux available on short notice. Thankfully it was available. The communication with host Zach, was the best i have ever experienced. From messaging through email, to text response for immediate needs and questions Zach knows how to communicate with guests. The directions were spelled out very clearly and that made everything so easy. The house is located in downtown Jefferson, Texas and at the end of a dead end street. This proved to be a very tranquil setting and the property is beautiful. The room was perfect for us, historic yet very comfortable. Cleanliness was top notch. Water and snacks greeted us. There was coffee provided for the Keurig. We used the Keurig, the microwave and the mini-fridge. All were very clean and worked great. I sat on the porch and had coffee and enjoyed the nature all around. The bed was comfortable. The TV worked fine. The bathroom was very nice and my wife and I were able to get ready at the same time. The host was thoughtful and shared information about Jefferson and the surrounding East Texas area. There is no doubt that we will return and tell our friends about the value and wonderful experience that we had staying at the Bordeaux Room in Jefferson. Thank you.
