Lovingly restored since 2023. Step inside, stay and discover the charm of a century-old home

Timeless charm with modern amenities in this 1903 historic Texas home

Step into a piece of East Texas history

The Jeter Farmhouse — a stunning home built in 1903 by Leonidas and Anna Bell Jeter, and lovingly preserved for over 120 years. There are two separate Suites inside the main home, the Anna Bell Suite and the Leonidas Suite. There is also an option to rent the entire home giving you access to both. Each suite in the home is named in honor of the original builders, a small tribute to the couple who started it all. When you stay here, you're not just booking a room. You're sleeping where the Jeter family lived, loved, and built a life.

The moment you arrive you're greeted by a grand entry hall crowned by a stunning chandelier that sets the tone for everything inside. Browse the renovation photos and Jeter family history displayed throughout the entry and stop by the information table to pick up local business cards, brochures, and upcoming event listings. Be sure to grab a Gladewater map before heading out — you'll want it.

Relax and enjoy the space full of history with all the modern amenities to make your stay comfortable.

End your evenings the right way — rocking on the grand front porch, watching the quiet rhythm of downtown Gladewater roll by from atop the original red brick streets that have lined this neighborhood for over a century.

One more piece of living history — the train has rumbled through downtown Gladewater daily for over 150 years, running on no set schedule, just as it always has. It's a beloved reminder of the town's roots, though light sleepers should be aware. We've provided noise-canceling sound machines in each bedroom for a restful night's sleep.

Anna Bell Suite

The Anna Bell Suite is a beautifully appointed 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom retreat inside the Jeter Farmhouse.

Anna Bell's suite is soft, elegant, and inviting, creating an atmosphere that feels instantly like home. The décor is gentle and warm, wrapping you in a sense of comfort the moment you walk through the door. Original hardwood floors flow throughout every room, and in several spaces the original wood-paneled walls remain intact, wrapping you in the quiet character that only a century of history can provide. The full kitchen includes large refrigerator, microwave, toaster, luxury gas stove, and all amenities. The upper kitchen cabinets are original to the home, a small but meaningful detail that connects every meal prepared here to the generations before you.

At the same time, every modern comfort has been thoughtfully woven in. The bathroom has been fully updated with contemporary finishes, and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare a basic meal. A separate family room gives guests room to spread out and unwind, while a dedicated dining area makes shared meals feel special. When it's time to relax, settle into the family room where a Roku TV is ready for all your favorite streaming, alongside a curated selection of games and books for those who prefer to unplug.

The suite is stocked with the details that make the difference. Sink into 100% luxury cotton sheets at the end of the day, and start your morning at the fully equipped coffee bar — stocked with both drip and pod options, plus coffee, creamer, and sugar, ready and waiting. The bathroom features upscale shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, because a historic stay shouldn't mean roughing it.

Blackout shades in every room ensure a restful night regardless of the hour. Each room is equipped with its own mini split AC and heat unit, so your comfort is always in your hands.

All the history with modern amenities.

Leonidas Suite

The Leonidas Suite is a beautifully appointed 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom retreat inside the Jeter Farmhouse.

The Leonidas Suite is bold, warm, and full of personality. The décor pays homage to the rich train history of Gladewater, a nod to the iron rails that have run directly across the street from this very home for over 150 years. It's a thoughtful tribute that ties the suite to the town's roots in a way that feels authentic rather than decorative. Original hardwood floors run throughout, a testament to the craftsmanship of 1903 that has stood the test of time.

The bedroom is a true retreat — a king size bed dressed in 100% luxury cotton sheets anchors the space, with a cozy sitting area for quiet mornings or late night reading. Blackout shades in every room ensure a restful night regardless of the hour. Step into the bathroom and find a stunning clawfoot tub alongside a separate stand-up shower, finished with upscale shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Each room is equipped with its own mini split AC and heat unit, so your comfort is always in your hands.

The living room offers a welcoming place to unwind — sink into a cozy seat and stream your favorites on the Roku TV, or simply enjoy the quiet of a well-appointed space. The sofa pulls out to a just-under full size bed, perfect for a third guest, and comes complete with all bedding provided. The kitchenette is stocked with everything you need for a relaxed stay, including a refrigerator, microwave, combo air fryer and toaster oven, dishes and utensils for preparing basics, and a coffee bar complete with a Keurig, coffee pods, creamer, and sugar. A small dining table sits right in the kitchenette for casual meals.

Step outside your bedroom door and enjoy your own private table and chairs tucked along the side of the wrap-around porch — your own quiet corner to sip your morning coffee or watch the world go by.

This is historic charm without the sacrifice.
