Inn Details

Located within walking distance of shops and attractions, WISE MANOR is one of the oldest BED & BREAKFAST homes in HISTORIC JEFFERSON, TEXAS. Built in 1851 on the ferry road into pre-CIVIL WAR JEFFERSON, the home has been in the WISE family since 1908. JACOB & ERNESTINE STERNE, early Jefferson postmasters were distinguished residents. GENERAL BUELL was a guest during the RECONSTRUCION ERA. WISE MANOR was lovingly restored by KATHEREINE RAMSAY WISE, Jefferson's town HISTORIAN. Furnished in VICTORIAN era ANTIQUES and family HEIRLOOMS, WISE MANOR reminds us of a time when life was simpler and entertaining was gracious.

    Review Wise Manor Bed & Breakfast Inn, Jefferson, TX

    Photo Album

    The Ramsay Suite features a Mallard bed (made in New Orleans), marble top dresser and tables, six windows, and in-room coffee service. Its new bathroom has a walk-in shower. Of course, there is cable TV, and games in the dresser, and lots of great magazines. Because the suite sleeps three comfortably, it is often the choice for lady-friends on a weekend excursion.  We can pump up the air mattress to accommodate a fourth guest in this roomy suite.Katherine's Room is part of the Ramsay Suite at Wise Manor.  This Victorian "youth bed" is comfortable for a full-size adult.  Katherine's room has a doll house, marble-top tables, antique furnishings (the bed was made in New Orleans and came to Jefferson on a river boat), and lots of family history.  Teddy Bears may sleep with you if you wish, but the resident cat is banned from the guest rooms.
    Some folks have made MARGARET'S ROOM a standing reservation for anniversaries and special events. MARGARET's ROOM features a rare cherry-wood bedroom suite (c. 1927), VCR, and video library.  Its bathroom has the house's original claw-foot tub with shower.  MARGARET's ROOM also has a private entrance from our carport.  Newlyweds have been know to disappear for days within MARGARET's ROOM.This queen bed in BALLAUF's ROOM was converted from a very old rope-strung pine bed. The stenciled wall paper is colonial in origin.  A very popular room, it also has its own in-room coffee service, cable TV, magazine collection, and private bath with tub and shower.  An Emerson electric oscillating fan from the 1930s supplements the summer air conditioning and creates a nice "white noise" when sleeping. Bedside chocolates!
    Wise Manor is frequently invited to be a featured home on Jefferson's several home tours.  The Jessie Allen Wise Garden Club was named for Susan's great-grandmother.Wise Manor's dining room and parlor are "all decked out" for Jefferson's 2008 Spring Tour of Homes.
    Wise Manor's parlor awaits your arrival for tea and cookies, or perhaps a glass of wine.
Popcorn and hot chocolate are always available, too.Susan's friends assisted throughout the house during the Spring Tour of Homes.  Teri welcomed guests in the parlor.
