The Claiborne House Bed & Breakfast  

"Voted ""Most Elegant Bed & Breakfast - 2005"" Arrington's Book of Lists ""Inns that Innkeepers Choose When Traveling"" Forget there is another world... For a romantic retreat into another era, step back in time to the age of steamships in the inland water port of Jefferson, Texas. Claiborne House was built as a single family home in 1872 by Captain V. H. Claiborne. A modified Greek Revival design with a front gabled roof, The Claiborne House features two 40 foot porches on each side. Original moldings, heart pine floors and thirteen-foot ceilings give the house its gracious character. There are six graciously-sized guestrooms, four in the main house and two in the new Carriage House. Claiborne House is furnished with antiques. All guestrooms have private baths with whirlpool tubs, showers or shower/tubs, color televisions and ceiling fans. Wireless Internet access is available. Tastefully decorated and beautifully furnished common rooms afford pleasant places to sit and visit as one might have done a century ago when Captain & Mrs. Claiborne entertained. A full Southern gourmet breakfast is served with crystal and china in the dining room at The Claiborne House. Come and relax on one of our 4 porches as you might have a century ago, on wicker furniture or old-fashioned wood rockers or that Victorian standard porch swing. Take your pick! The comfort is endless."
