Location of the cottage couldn’t be better for walking into town. The neighborhood is quiet, also welcomed. Jefferson has a wonderful historic district worth exploration. It was a comfortable cottage to relax and unwind in. Our biggest issue was that it was not as clean as we have come to expect in other properties we have rented. Examples: while the bathroom sink and toilet bowl were clean enough, the outsides of each were not. The refrigerator was usable but needed to be thoroughly cleaned inside. When one of the twin beds was opened, there were hairs on the linen. None of these were deal breakers (the owner agreed to refund our cleaning deposit, and we addressed the issues other than the fridge. There were a few other areas of general cleanliness that to us indicate the house needs, but has not received, a deep cleaning in some time. Again, not deal breakers.

Excellent Property

This house was literally on the Main Street. Only a one minute walk to the car show (which we weren’t even aware was going on this weekend- pleasant surprise). Walking to everything was so convenient! It was also quiet even though so close to everything.

Thumbs down

The house was in great location,but not well taken care of, in need of cleaning outside deck and patio. We did stay two nights but when I killed two small spiders and a large bug, we decided to leave. We had it rented for 3 nights but left after 2. It wasn’t a good stay so will be a little more picky next time, even though the reviews were sounded good.

2025 Mardi Gras Blast

We've been coming to Jefferson for 3 years now and this place and the weather was the best so far!!! We absolutely loved the cozy and charming cottage. We loved the neat little hang out room and the record player. We could tell Anna must be a book lover, there were plenty of novels to read. The King size bed was very comfortable, and Anna had left us snacks, wonderful chocolate pralines and even milk! It was also close enough to just walk to all the shops and Annie SkinnersDefinitely we will be booking this place again.

The house was located one block from all the downtown shopping so perfect location. The kitchen had plenty of coffee and a few snacks that was unexpected, but appreciated. We enjoyed the house - very well done.

Great get away!

We enjoyed our stay and could not have asked for nicer hosts. They checked on us everyday to see if we needed anything. Air conditioning was great during a very hot week and the comfort of the bed was great. Enjoyed being close to downtown. Was a good trip.

Best Location

This charming cottage has everything you need. Full kitchen, washer/dryer, 2 bedrooms, 2 nice social areas and a great outside patio with a table, seating, etc. It is located right on the edge of the historic downtown You can basically walk everywhere. ANNA IS A GREAT HOST. She provided a nice basket of snacks, coffee, creamer, etc., and is very responsive. The king bed is very comfortable, the shower runs hot and full. This was our second stay and if we make it back to Jefferson? We'll try to get this place again!
