    My husband and I always go to Jefferson, TX for our anniversary and stay at a different bed and breakfast. We have always said that our goal is to stay at every B&B in Jefferson. After staying at the Benefield house that goal has probably changed. We absolutely loved it! We want to abort our original goal of staying at every b&b and just return to the Benefield house from now on. We stayed in the Cardinal Room. It was beautifully decorated and the bed was very comfortable. The room was large and there was plenty of closet space. We never heard any of the other guests in the room above us. Donna was very friendly and we enjoyed visiting with her. The breakfast both mornings that we were there were amazing! I would definitely recommend this b&b to my friends!


    A peaceful, beautiful place to stay!

    I came by myself for an event in town and stayed in the Hummingbird Chamber. I loved the room, the stained glass, bed, bathroom, shower, everything. The innkeeper, Donna, could not have been nicer and went out of her way to accommodate some dietary restrictions. I loved the privacy here, and would love to come back and spend more time in the house!


    An Outstanding Value!

    We stayed at the lovely Benefield House recently and were so impressed with the peacefulness of the neighborhood, the gorgeously appointed rooms and the charm and helpfulness of the hosts, Donna and Frank Lang. The rooms are beautiful and very comfortable. The beds are awesome! Donna is an excellent cook and we had scrumptious breakfasts that were simply delightful. Donna is a very attentive, fun, charming hostess. She went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and to make some local arrangements for a beautiful, surprise birthday cake and flowers, a carriage ride at dusk and reservations for us at the Stillwater Inn. This was extremely helpful as we were not familiar with the local vendors. Of some 60 B&Bs in Jefferson, this is by far one of the best. It is close enough to the downtown historic district that you can walk, but far enough down the street that you don't get much downtown noise at night. We sat out on the lovely porch and talked, watched the sun go down and it was just so peaceful! We cannot recommend this B&B strongly enough. Donna and Frank are active in supporting their community and are working to make Jefferson better, which also impressed us. I don't think Donna and Frank ever met a stranger, and they are most gracious--yet left us the run of the house and were never underfoot. As hosts, they are there when you need them but don't hover and give you your privacy completely. We're definitely coming back to this winning B&B on our next trip, and know we'll find not friends, but actually "family."

    Selected the Benefield House for our annual Christmas/Anniversary trip which turned out to be an excellent choice. We have stayed at a number of B&B's across the country and the Benefield House is now at the top of our favorites list. The home is comfortable, inviting, and expertly maintained. Donna and Frank are outstanding hosts with a real understanding of what a quality B&B should offer. The breakfasts were the best we have ever had! My wife is still talking about the "fruit butterflies". Thanks for making the stay so enjoyable. Definitely look forward to the next trip.
