The Magnolia is an experience, room was clean and beautifully decorated. The home is just fantastic, the architecture is incredible but what makes it special are the innkeepers, informative, kind, generous and welcoming. The breakfast is beyond what was expected and we looked forward to the food, service and conversation. We will be back for sure

Magnolia Inn-worth a visit

We had a chance to stay at the Magnolia Inn when they had a last minute cancellation. The owners were great! Very welcoming and helpful when asked about events and dinner spots within walking distance. The room was very comfortable and extremely clean. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast as part of our stay. One of the owners, Joyce, asked if we had any food preferences upon arrival to make sure she prepared items we'd enjoy. I'd definitely plan a return trip to the Magnolia Inn.

Cute house. Innkeepers are great and the house has charm. The bed was uncomfortable and very creaky.... Also, there is no on site parking lot/space. You are required to park in the neighborhood block, which is their "free parking". The location is not in a great neighborhood and we felt very uncomfortable leaving our cars parked there.

What I loved about Magnolia House, was the warm and friendly proprietors. The Inn was also warm, it reminded me of a stay at my grandma house. I didn’t want to leave. I definitely will be going back.
