My family and I enjoyed our stay at the Magnolia Manor!! There was plenty of room for us to congregate as well as have our own areas. It is convenient to highways and restaurants. I would recommend if you are heading to the Jackson area!!

Magnolia Manor is a beautiful home. We rented it for my son’s wedding. Plenty of room for our family plus his groomsmen stayed one night and got dressed for the wedding at the house. It was close to the church and to the reception venue. Uber was easy transportation. Definitely would stay here again.
We had a graduation, and many people coming and staying in various places in Jackson. With the rain and event delays, and relocations, this house was a great center to meet up. The house has a bedroom on the bottom floor which was great for my 85 year old mom. We did not cook during our stay but the kitchen seemed stocked well. The large dining area, was perfect for sitting for the family, perfect for gathering to decide how to pivot our plans. It is close to the manship area, which has beer, and pizza which was great. It is also in the Belhaven area which has beautiful historical homes, very fun to walk around. Also, very close to Millsaps and Belhaven Universities.
Magnolia Manor and it’s adjoining apt was the perfect Oasis for our team of 10. The location was great. Bedrooms and Bathrooms were clean and supplies were furnished for our needs, even mints next to our beds.
Communication was very timely and helpful throughout the full 2 weeks.
Will definitely Book again!
Thanks Jo and Ashley

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Not pleasant
The property itself was fine. It fit my family for my wedding weekend. The floors hadn’t been thoroughly cleaned in some rooms, but it wasn’t unbearable. The main issue was communication with the hosts. They tried to charge me extra when I told them I may have 12 guests stay (which is the max occupancy), but I wasn’t sure. Ended up only being 6. There were 2 guests staying in the guest suite, who you share a carport and some walls with, who we believe were smoking (not cigarettes) inside despite it being a no smoking rental and also had specific instructions that illegal drugs were not allowed. Our entire upstairs reeked every night as soon as the heat came on and did not dissipate easily. We were told vents were not shared, but we smelled it. It was so bad constantly, I had to keep all of my hanging clothes in my car and my suitcase closed downstairs. When I told the host after we left (chose not to before since we shared a carport), they told us the other guests claimed they were burning incense, but that was not the smell we had. There also weren’t any lightbulbs in the foyer or working lights on the porch, but some cars had to be on the street since the guests in the guest suite had the 2nd spot in the carport. People parking on the street had to find their way in in the dark. Not very safe.. Overall, we won’t be returning or staying anywhere these hosts are involved with.
We stayed at Magnolia Manor while attending a funeral in Jackson. Soooooo beautiful --- it brought back so many memories growing up in similar homes. My sister can't wait to visit so we can cook and fill the house with wonderful smells and aromas and sit around and reminisce of days gone by. A wonderful place for family and memoroes.
We enjoyed our stay. The home had plenty of room but it needed a downstairs bathroom. The showers were not working properly and the hot water didn't seem to last long. The location was good and the host was very good with communication.
Short commutes to local museums, attractions, dining and grocery stores. Room accommodations great for multi-family trip.

Wonderful space!
The house was perfect for our large group. It had open spaces to congregate, and private quarters to retreat and relax. Central location made getting around town super easy. Felt like home!
This older historic home in a historic district was perfect for us. The host was very responsive. We really appreciated the AC during a few very hot days:)
The house was as advertised with very detailed instructions for checking in, parking, and checking out. It was enough space to accommodate 10 adults and had everything that we needed to make our stay enjoyable. We will definitely stay again on future trips to the area.
We flew in for a family weekend and the house did not disappoint.
The layout of the house was great for our group.
From the linens to the kitchen, everything was well stocked and then some.
The communication with Ashley was great.
We had a wonderful stay.
