Description: In my hunt for the unique and special I came across the Jefferson Street Bed and Breakfast Inn in Irving. It seemed like a great location for visiting both Dallas and Fort Worth. After looking their site over I realized that they had a house that they rented. This seemed perfect for us having two bedrooms and plenty of living space for us to stretch out in. Best of all it has a washer and a dryer. On a two week vacation this is a godsend. It would allow us to carry only about 5 or 6 days worth instead of 15. We also like to play cards or dominos and having a table is a big plus.
I sent out my email and received a prompt response. We sent our deposit by check and received our confirmation by email. We have the option of having the breakfast fixings left in our refrigerator or of going across the street to have breakfast. We opted to go across the St.
Lee and Tom are the perfect hosts. Every morning they were waiting for us when we come across with a great hot breakfast. We had yogurt with fruit as a starter and orange juice and coffee. The special of the day varied from the best waffles with fruit compote to egg souffle with sausage and even a banana’s foster hot granola dish. You will never find more helpful hosts, they provided a map and also very accurate directions and suggestions for getting to Dallas, Fort Worth, and where to have a meal with the locals.
Our house was just wonderful, it was everything I had hoped and even more. It had two bedroom and two bathrooms. Both rooms had queen size beds, with soft sheets and warm bedding and comfortable chairs. There is plenty of light for reading in bed. The kitchen is fully equipped right down to the Starbucks coffee and Twinings teas. There is a dishwasher, fridge, stove, microwave and a coffee maker. The furniture is in the mission style with a table with four comfortable chairs, a couch and coffee table and can you believe it a computer with WIFI and even a printer. It was so helpful for printing out maps.
The washer and dryer were in a closet and the soap, fabric softener and even the stain treatment was all provided. In our bedroom there was an ironing board and iron.
Lee and Tom have really though of everything, there was even an umbrella which I gratefully used on several occasions.
Besides for the house, Jefferson St has three bedrooms in the main ranch house and five more to be added in the not too distant future. I was given a tour of the rooms and they are beautiful and equally as comfortable as the house. One has a huge Jacuzzi tub and the others have tile showers.
This was a wonderful home away from home and I highly recommend it.
