My wife and I stayed at The Benefield House in Jefferson, TX. for our 13th wedding anniversary. This was my first Bed and Breakfast experience and it was much more than I expected. The home was beautiful and Frank and Donna Lang are the perfect hosts. We stayed in the Hummingbird Suite and was surprised by the size of the room and how comfortable the kingsize bed was and how much fun Frank and Donna made the breakfast experience. We highly recommend The Benefield House, you will not be disappointed. Jan and Tracy W...Shreveport, LA.

Benefield House is a must if you stay in Jefferson. The house is charming, the hosts are delightful and the breakfasts are sensational! Frank and Donna truly make you feel at home. All rooms are beautiful, but our favorite was the Cardinal room. Rooms are spacious, the linens are luxurious and the ambience is warm and cozy. Definitely a place to cozy up with your loved one!

We drove to Jefferson for a day trip. As we drove down South Line Street we spotted this beautiful old Victorian house with a princess sitting on the porch. We stopped. Princess Donna invited us in for tea. We were enchanted with the house and inquired about overnite lodging. Fortunately for us, the Cardinal room with a great King size bed and a jacuzzi tub had just become available. After a great night's sleep we awoke to a breakfast fit for a king. Sir Frank was there to help prepare and serve our feast. They made us feel like royalty. We suggest that you visit the Knight and the Princess for your enchanted visit to Jefferson...... ....James & Deb Shreveport, Lousiana

Benefield House is beautifully decorated, perfectly spotless, charming, and romantic. We celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary in the Bluebird Chamber. The bed and linens were luxuriously comfortable. The innkeepers, Donna and Frank, were so welcoming and friendly. The food was great and the plate presentation was beautiful. Snacks and drinks were available at all times. The location is withing walking distance of the downtown historic district.

My wife and I wanted to do something special for our 17th wedding anniversary. Wow!!! This is a great spot. The attention to detail, cleanliness, and absolute incredible customer service make this a B&B you have to experience to beleive. The breakfast was out of this world. Donna is definitely an incredible cook. The breakfast was awesome!!!! you have to taste those hash browns and eggs - fresh hand picked dill and rosemary were added the morning of. Frank and Donna are great "hosts" and truly welcome you with open arms. We have already told many of our friends and family about this spot. Now we are looking at booking there for New Years Eve.

My mom and I really enjoyed our stay in the Blue Bird room! The towels and bathrobe were plush! The linens were luxurious and our hosts were wonderful! Breakfast was multi-course treat and I really loved how Donna tied slices of bacon together with green onion---how creative! We had a good night's sleep and a great one day get away! Thank you!

We came for a 30th anniversary. The inn was a gift for my husband. We loved getting away and enjoyed sitting in the gazebo at night. The room was so cute in it's decorating. We were in the Hummingbird room and loved all the details. The room was spotless and one of the most comfortable beds, ever! The breakfast was delicious and even had butterfly accents in fruit on our plates! Adorable! I would highly recommend this inn to anyone. We actually stayed elsewhere another night. No comparison to the Benefield! Donna and Frank are a lovely couple and did everything right for our visit! Please give their inn a try you won't be disapponinted!

Frank and Donna have a wonderfully comfortable and beautiful home. Any of the three rooms would be a great choice. My husband and I stayed in the Humingbird Suite and I loved the brightness of the room from the bedding, to the wall colors, to the beautiful sunshine filtering in through the windows. Donna cooked wonderful breakfast surprises, had baked goodies available for snacking, plus coffee, tea, water and sodas all at your fingertips. Not only was the house and room a delight, but visiting with Frank and Donna was the added bonus. This was my first stay at a Bed and Breakfast, and while I was a bit anxious to give it a try, the results were wonderful and we've booked a return visit at Christmas time. Thank you Frank and Donna for sharing your gorgeous home ... you've done a fantastic job! Lynne & John

We were surprised with a night at the Benefield House B&B for our anniversary. We stayed in the most beautiful room and our companions and us stayed up and visited in a quaint room off our bedroom. Our innkeepers were so sweet and we loved visiting with them. We were served a delicious breakfast in the morning, and I hated to see the morning come to an end as we ate and visited with our family. The entire experience was so enjoyable, relaxing and a beautiful way to celebrate our special day.

The Benefield House has the allure of fabulous architecture dating back to the late 1800's, early 1900's. Each room is wonderfully decorated, as we soon found out with a short tour by our wonderful host and hostess, Frank and Donna Lang. They are transplanted from New Jersey and exude with southern charm, with northern accent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at their Bed and Breakfast and would challenge you to get away to a warm, friendly, relaxing atmosphere. Donna's beautifully prepared breakfast was fantastic in the romantically decorated dining room adjacent to the front living area. We fully intend on using the Benefield House as a recurring retreat to slow down our busy lives. You will not be disappointed!!!

Awesome, I felt the love of God as we stayed two days with this lovely couple. It was her birthday and I bought her a lovely candle in memory of her sister she lost and also my 16 yr old son Ron. We spent over $500 in Jefferson, TX, had a great time. Will be back next year. Praise the Lord.

We just booked our second stay at the Benefield house for ourselves and our best friends. We stayed there last year and we wouldn't think of staying anywhere else. Frank and Donna are the most wonderful part of the experience. They make you feel so welcome and comfortable without intruding on your privacy. I loved relaxing in the parlor room with a great cup of coffee and the most delicious cake you can imagine. The breakfast was spectacular and inspired me to become a better cook!!! Afterwards, they sat and talked with us and make us feel at home. I am looking forward to our next stay and I hope we can try the chocolate farina she is known for. Thanks, Monica Saladino

I celebrated my 50th birthday with 5 of my friends at the Benefield House. It couldn't have been more perfect! The house & rooms were cozy & quaint. We felt like we were at home. It was great to get away for a while in the perfect, quiet setting. The Innkeepers are awesome people. Their hospitality was key to the success of my get together there. We all had so much fun that we have decided to make it a yearly event. I HIGHLY recommend the Benefield House for your stay. Thank You Donna & Frank for a memorable evening! God Bless you both!

This was our first time to stay at a B&B and Frank and Donna made it fantastic. They went out of their way to make us feel at home in their home. We had never stayed anywhere like that before so it was quite a treat for a couple of country bumpkins. Frank and Donna fixed us the absolute best breakfast and they were shocked we eat every bite. They came and sat with us while we finished eating and by the time we left we felt like we had made lifelong friends. I was so impressed, my sister and I booked a night for our parents since they had never stayed at a B&B. They were as impressed as my husband and I were. We will be booking our 1st Anniversary there next year. Donna and Frank already know we are coming back. Thanks Donna and Frank.

My wife and I had the best weekend getaway of our lives. Donna and Frank were the most gracious and accommodating hosts. It was wonderful to spend a weekend in a quaint historic small town like Jefferson in a B&B with no distractions of the rushed, busy, and stressful world. That's Right! No TV, internet, frightening news reports; just pure mental and physical relaxation. This is what a B&B is supposed to be! We will make Benefield House a regular retreat and who knows, it might even add a few years onto our lives. Thanks Donna and Frank! P.S. The house is Beautiful too!

I have stayed at a handful of B&B's before, but finally found what I had been looking for all along at the Benefield.The historic architecture, combined with the detailed renovations and perfectly placed antiques, compelled me to spend much of my time at the house just looking. I was pleasanty surprised to find reading materials available to the guests on the subject. The homemade snacks and beverages available at any hour were also a special touch,it was nice to have coffee and treats before breakfast time or late in the evening. Donna and Frank were very inviting hosts. I left their home with the feeling that I would enjoy stopping by just to "hang out" with them the next time I was through Jefferson, of course only when I am not already staying with them at the Benefield House !

Donna and Frank were wonderful Innkeepers. We felt at home the minute we arrived. The Cardinal room was beautiful, as well as the rest of the house. It made you want to look at every inch. Donna and Frank have restored the home wonderfully. We especially enjoyed sitting and visiting with Donna and Frank after breakfast. We are looking forward to returning very soon and can't wait to see what Donna will have on the menu, she is a wonderful cook. Thank you Donna and Frank for sharing your home with us for the weekend.

My husband and I stayed at the Benefield House a couple of months ago and it was wonderful! We felt so at home. Everything was clean, and we felt so pampered. My husband and I both have very strict medical diets and the Innkeepers were kind enough to fix something special for both of us. We would highly recommend this B&B.

I'm normally not a fan of the Victorian style but this couple has done a really nice job of restoring this Painted Lady, not overdone and open and inviting. I enjoyed watching the sun as it lit up the stain glass in the Hummingbird Room. I stayed in 3 different B&Bs on 7 consecutive nights and found this one to be the most restful of them all. Frank and Donna want to give you an authentic late 19th century experience so there is no televion, no wi-fi. Perhaps that's why I found it so restful...I slept better there than anywhere else and didn't want to leave my sanctuary. Trains run through Jefferson day and night and I loved hearing the distant whistle. Donna is a gourmet cook...it was a good thing I eventually had to go back to my real life after 7 nights of pampering or I might have had to buy larger clothes! Jefferson is such an interesting, historical little town. And I've never had better pie anywhere! You will enjoy Benefield House and its charming hosts.

The next morning we have a gourmet breakfast of stuffed baked french toast with all the decorations. I would definately stay here again, and I plan on doing that. Great B&B.

Staying at the Benefield House was like visiting with long-time friends. Donna and Frank were so pleasant and personable. We sat on the deck and talked like we had known each other a long time. Donna's breakfasts were 'to die for'. We have never had such good food at a B&B and we have stayed in many in the US and England. Frank sat at the table with us at breakfast and talked about the history of the house. We have always loved Jefferson but now have even more reason to come back.

The Benefield House B&B is an awesome place to stay. We spent our 25th Wedding Anniversary at this wonderful house.
