The beds were very comfortable and the house was very inviting, relaxing, and had every amenity that you would need. They even had a dry sink with toiletries in case you forgot something from home! The food was terrific! From afternoon/evening snacks and beverages to the full "gentleman's breakfast". We will definitely visit again and for us.....the sooner the better. Thank you Timm & Karen!

My wife and I stayed in the Sportsman room and were very pleased with it. I was not crazy about the bathtub because I was a lot bigger than it was but no big deal. The breakfast was great! I even asked how to make some of the dishes that we had during our stay. Very relaxing part of town where the Hale house was located. Sitting on the poarch talking to my wife and having coffee in the morning and evenings was very relaxing and nice even in the heat of the summer. Most of all I Timm and Karen made the stay most worth the price. They were very sincere and loving people. I felt like I had known them all my life and I had just met them.

Hale House is pleasant, clean, quiet, with proper conveniences, and the service was truly exceptional. We chose the Hale House based on the reviews and the reviews consistenly referred to Timm & Karen being exceptional hosts. The reviews were right on. The breakfeast was on the porch and with an Amish dish that was excellent as well as the smoothies The area that the house is located is also neat which is across from the Schluter home and the park. Jefferson is why we came but Hale House is significant part of why we will come again.

VIsitors to B & B's want more that just a room. They can get that at the Holiday Inn. When folks stay at a B & B, they expect the atmosphere and service that is much more individualized. Timm and Karen Jackson know EXACTLY how to provide the quintessential B & B experience. The rooms are exceptionally clean, the meals are to die for and the hosts are continually looking for any way possible to make your stay better. We have stayed at many different Inns in Jefferson, but we have found a new permanent home at the Hale House Inn. You will not be disappointed.

There was always available snacks & coffee, tea or cocoa. I HIGHLY recommend Karen & Timm's Hale House Inn. The whole town of Jefferson has allot of train traffic. So if you are a light sleeper, you might want to take a pair of ear plugs just in case. I know you will enjoy your visit to the Hale House Inn as much as we did & come back refreshed. Kay & Ronnie

Having come to Jefferson for a reunion, most of the gang stayed at the Hale House Inn, but having flown in from Spain, I got there too late... No room at the Inn for me. Nevertheless, I was there every day, enjoyed the comfort and friendliness, was always asked if I, too, wanted some coffee or whatever. During our stay we were visited by hurricane Ike: the electricity fell out and a huge tree collapsed on the pergola. Timm and Karen were immediately equipping us with candles so our card game could continue, and hardly batted an eyelid about the tree. Early next morning workers were busy chopping and sawing. And without electricity, a delicious breakfast still materialized. Very professional, and a total delight.

We fulfilled a dream of my wife's and lived a little of our past - and Texas' past as well - with a long weekend in Jefferson. The Inn's setting, across from a beautiful park and on the edge of the historic district, was a perfect setting for run and relaxation. We found the walk downtown easy and accessible We were right in the middle of a beautiful, well-appointed neighborhood and yet felt almost like we'd turned the clock back to the 1880s. Great touches like powerful AC, a flat-screen TV in the room and ample sheets and towels, made us happy were are living in the 2000s. One of our favorite spots at the Inn, however, was the beautiful porch/gazebo - big enough for a wedding but intimate enough to share our hopes and dreams. Fans and awnings kept the summer sun at bay.

We spent our 25th Anniversary in the Hale house in Jefferson becasue the Excelsior House was full. What good fortune. Delightful stay in an emmaculate room with a bed you could melt into, with excellent breakfast and great hosts. The cost was no more than what it would be for a room and breakfast at the Hotel but you get so much more privacy, atmosphere, and comfort. What a great bed!

A stay at The Hale House was like being transported to another way of life. Two couples of us visited Jefferson during the Pilgrimage. Timm and Karen Jackson, owners, gave us all the information we needed to enjoy each event, as well as the surrounding area of Avinger and Caddo Lake. We were greeted very graciously. The house itself was a beautiful setting, clean, snacks available at all times, fun conversation with hosts and guests alike. I guess the highlight of the stay might well have been the excellent food and service we received at The Hale House. Timm was an excellent Host.

The Hale House itself is beautiful. We were welcomed warmly and shown to our room and through the common areas within minutes of arriving. Karen was in the process of putting out freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. They were in addition to a wonderful looking streusel cake, trail mix, m&m's, all kinds of hot and cold drinks, etc. Our room was beautiful and we both slept very soundly. That's always a surprise when we experience a good night's sleep while we're away from home. Breakfast was delicious. The variety and flavors, excellent. For us, the true test of a well run B&B is the hospitality of the hosts. Karen and Timm are such genuinely nice people. They made themselves available, without being overly so. We'd go back in a heartbeat and recommend it as well.

We came through Jefferson at the close of a business trip and found The Hale House to be a wonderful experience. Timm greeted us and shared a tour of the property and comments on Jefferson. Our room was great -- the Sonora. And, the house is just blocks from the heart of Jefferson, adjacent to several other B&Bs. We took our morning walk, before breakfast, into/around the city proper. We do highly recommend the Hale House to other travelers.

As far as the room went, the flat screen tv was great as was the wireless internet. The mattress on our bed was just right, too. I also loved getting up early, drinking great coffee, and reading on their beautiful porch. It was a perfect weekend. Thank you!

They had an ever ready supreme coffee/tea/hot chocolate by-the-cup dispenser that was out of this world. And their overall disposition and friendliness couldn't have been bought at any price.

The house has a beautiful porch and gazebo where we were served a wonderful breakfast. Timm and Karen are gracious hosts and our weekend celebrating our anniversary couldn't have been better. We definitely would recommend the Hale House as the place to stay while visiting Jefferson.

The extra ammenties such as hot or cold drinks and goodies at any time were an added treat. Timm was very helpful in giving suggestions for things to do in the area.

We stayed at the Hale House over Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time. We saw the rest of the town and the other Bed and Breakfasts there, but the Hale House was one of the best we saw. It has a beautiful courtyard outside with a gazebo for relaxing in the shade or reading a book. Across the street is a neat little park for the kids too. While the house is amazing, the two owners are great. They really love to get to know people and you wont find two nicer innkeepers in all of Jefferson. Thanks for a great stay!

Escape the pressures of the world outside as you walk into the door of the “Garden View”.  This wonderfully soft, dusty blue room lets your imagination take you away to a beautiful garden setting … as you move toward the windows, you will understand why.  Drop into your soft pillow king-size brass bed and relax by the glow of your fireplace.  Soak your feet in the antique claw-foot tub and shower away those memories of the week you have left behind.  Let the satellite TV music or your favorite sounds relax your mind and your heart.  Awaken tomorrow with a renewed sense of purpose and enjoy the gentleman’s breakfast in the dining room or on the north porch.  “Garden View “ is all  and much more. Rates $130-145 per night + taxLet this classic room take you back to the 1800’s, when pioneer greats uncovered this new land in the southwest territory.  The queen-sized brass bed, luxuriously covered by fleece and suede and a mountain of pillows, create a most delightful place to sleep.  The room’s antique armoire and its less-than antique flat-screen make your stay in the Sonoran suite both nostalgic and relaxing.  The room has a pedestal sink and a shower with all the comforts you desire.  Let the Sonoran adventure return you to the desert. Rates $130-145 per night + tax
Walk into this gorgeous room and immediately feel the warmth and glow of a Texas night. From the Texas-size king sleigh bed to the row of windows that overlook the Inn’s garden below, you will never forget where you are and where you’ll want to return.  Fire up the in-room fireplace and enjoy it from your bed or on the southwest-style sofa.  Enjoy satellite TV or pop in your favorite DVD with an old west classic.

An adjacent private bath with antique claw-foot tub and shower makes the room seem like a suite.

You will enjoy a night in Texas in our “Texas Night” accommodation … check it out this time or on your next visit. Rates $130-145 per night + taxAs you walk through the front door to the Hale House Inn, you are immediately aware that you are in a special place.  Both on the right and on the left are drawing rooms where you can relax and meet other guests over a cool beverage or hot drink and some delicious cookies from the Inn's kitchen.

On one side you can watch the latest afternoon soaps – game shows – sporting events on our big screen TV or play a game of chess … on the other side enjoy the grand piano “player style”  or sit down and tickle the ivories yourself … or just curl up in front of the fireplace and relax in thought or with a good book.
