We were in Jefferson for the Civil War Reenactment and this house was perfect for our stay. It was across the street from one of the reenactor encampment locations and a short, easy walk to the downtown area. Even though it was close to everything, it was quie6 and peaceful. The house is beautiful and plenty large enough for a fwmily. Check in, check out super easy. The owner is very quick to answer questions. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again next year.

Well-decorated home. Very close to town, and many homes in the area are “period” homes. Lots of antique shopping, but make sure to visit the Time and Measurement Museum. Wonderful visit to a great little town.

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Pruett

Host profile image
We are Hal and Kathy Poindexter and we are the owners of La Belle Maison. Although we are both in our seventies we are still pretty active at our dairy goat farm in Carthage, Texas. Our good friend Gwyn Weatherford has agreed to be the host of La Belle Maison!

Why they chose this property

The house is very centrally located in the heart of the Historical district and very convenient to restaurants and shops! If you want to experience the Victorian era and be surrounded with period decor, then this is the place to have that romantic getaway you have been dreaming about!

What makes this property unique

Please enjoy our Tea Room and try out several kinds of tea as well as coffee! Put on a fancy hat and pretend to be in the Victorian era! There is usually a wine bottle or two there for your pleasure! And if you look in the little freezer there are some little cakes and goat cheese you can pull out to thaw and enjoy! Take advantage of the nice big back porch to enjoy your morning coffee and afternoon tea or wine!
