Meet the Innkeepers

Sam & Valerie Ayer


Valerie and I came to Jefferson Texas on our honeymoon and fell in love with this historic and romantic town. Another trip to Jefferson on a Valentine weekend sealed our fate. While we drove through the historic district looking at all the wonderful homes and unique styles of architecture, a FOR SALE sign on the Azalea Inn caught our eye. We kidded each other during the next few days that we should pull up roots and move to Jefferson. One thing led to another and here we are, the proud owners of the Azalea Inn. We also have a photography business called Heavenly Reflections that we moved from Texarkana.
