Everything we could ask for!

Great stay, start to finish. Accomodations were very clean and comfy. Handy location. Lots to do in Jefferson. When we were at the rental, we relaxed on the porch, watched TV, and read through some of the information provided about the many things available in the area. Would definitely stay at Bessie's Landing again!

Excellent place to getaway!

Elaine and Ken have a darling property that is private, clean, and beautiful. The homemade blueberry bread that greeted us on arrival was delicious and a friendly touch. Also, there was an abundance of snacks and breakfast items which allowed us to enjoy our mornings without having to go out. I highly recommend Bessie's Landing to anyone wanting some quality R & R!

Couldn't have been better

This was my first booking outside of a hotel and it couldn't have gone better. Elaine was super quick with communication and always friendly and helpful while also not being the pushy sort or inserting herself, which we introverts loved and appreciated so much! The guest house was beautiful and had everything we could have needed and was a vacation in itself.

PERFECT!

You won't go wrong by staying at Bessie's Landing. I heard about Elaine stocking the fridge with some breakfast items and various snacks, etc., but what we found was so much more! We had planned on going to the nearby store to pick up a few items, but there was no need, at all! Breakfast items were endless including fresh eggs, bacon, various breads and pastries, along with frozen items to choose from. All kinds of sodas, milk, juice, flavored teas and all the condiments needed for any of it! Her homemade blueberry bread was to die for. Needless to say, no need to go to the store at all. The house was immaculate and very inviting. We enjoyed mornings on the porch listening to the birds and the waterfall/goldfish pond in front, while drinking morning coffee. It's just as nice in the evening. You simply don't want for anything while you're there. Elaine and her husband were so kind and thoughtful and were there for anything you might need. Fur babies Mira and Shadow were nice greeters and very well behaved. We will be back!!

Bessie’s Landing stay……

Beautiful, cozy, very clean and tidy, scrumptious goodies( esp the blueberry bread!) and all one would want for a grand breakfast! Add the “Happy Anniversary” bottle of champagne and wow! Meeting host and hostess was a real treat too! Grand folks with great personalities to go with! Can’t express enough, but best VRBO we have yet experienced!!
