Come see us in August and take advantage of this phenomenal offer!

We are normally closed for 2 weeks in August with vacation, but this year we will be open all month! Therefore, we will be running a great special for the month of August 2024

Book with the promo code 'SUMMER24', and you will only pay the high temperature amount per night of your stay! Here's how it works:

- Book with the promo code, and it will list as a temporary dollar amount of $100.
- Once you arrive, we will adjust each night's stay to the official high temperature of the day with the heat index (per the weather.com app at 6pm). So, if the high temperature heat index is 97 degrees, your nightly rate is $97.

**You must book with this Promo code. We will adjust the price as we know the high temperature heat index for the day, which will be verified at 5pm each day. **The minimum per night is $85 (even if the high temperature is below 85 degrees).

Book your stay with us during August with this fantastic special!

She’s off! Our inaugural tour has been successful! With a full group, we’ve raised some $$ for the Jefferson Historical Museum.

And, drumroll 🥁 …

Her name is The Jefferson Belle. Thank you David Berryhill for the suggestion!

We are home, and we have POWER! Life is good again. We are getting ready to welcome guests again in our home. Our downtown shops and restaurants are slowly opening as well. We all have to clean up and restock, so please be patient.

For those that ask ‘what can we do to help?’ Our answer is this - come visit our town and enjoy our restaurants, shops, museums, tours and Lodging!! That’s the best way to help, and we thank you!!!
