Overlooking the entrance to the Memphis Zoo and the Overton Park formal gardens
The Magnolia House is considered by many to be the #1 luxury vacation rental in West Tennessee. This lovely, completely remodeled home is located in a quite, historic neighborhood overlooking the peaceful Overton Park. The setting is perfect for weekend get-aways, family reunions, vacations or just to relax and enjoy the wonderful amenities surrounding you, all within walking distance....people travel from all around to enjoy over 50 free concerts a year at the outdoor amphitheater, the Levitt Shell (where Elvis first played!), also the Memphis Zoo (ranked one of the top zoos in the United States) can be viewed from this home, the wonderful Brooks Art Museum (the largest art museum in Tennessee) is also within walking distance. The Park also offers a 9-Hole City Golf Course, entrance to the Shelby Farms Greenline for biking or walking(which is a 6.5 mile biking path and connects midtown to Shelby Farms Park), fantastic new playground and also a pond for watching ducks and fish. Do not forget your picnic basket, frisbee and a kite for a leisurely day outside!
The home is very secure with automatic gated entrance. Very safe neighborhood for walking and strolling to the Zoo, the Levitt Shell Amphitheater or the Brooks Art Museum. High speed internet is offered as well.
The newly renovated Overton Square is a few blocks away with some of the best restaurants in the City! German, Japanese, Mexican, Cajun, Italian food can all be found in this great area! We would love to recommend some of our favorites! Also, a great place to find nightlife...many bars with restaurants open late and even Lafayette's Music Room and The Zebra Lounge with a piano bar! If you are into theater, Playhouse on The Square, The new Hattiloo Theater and The Circuit Playhouse are located in this area. Also, in close proximity is the Cooper Young area, where there is another wide range of great restaurants. If you are a "foodie" or love visiting breweries, you will LOVE this area as well!
The Home is also very close to downtown where you will find the world famous Beale Street with much nightlife, Sun Studios, the well-known Peabody Hotel with their famous daily, duck parade, the Gibson Guitar Museum, the Fed-Ex Forum where many great concerts are held and the Memphis Grizzlies play, the Redbirds Baseball Stadium, and also the not to be missed newly opened Bass Pro Shop (largest Bass Pro in the United States and located in The Pyramid overlooking the great Mississippi River). One can not leave the City without sampling our world-famous barbecue. The Rendezvous and Central Barbecue are both very close! The list goes on and on....so much to see and do in The City! This home, however, was remodeled and designed by an interior designer and is a wonderful place just to sit back, relax and enjoy its upscale amenities! We love our city and hope that you will come and embrace all that it has to offer!

Simply stunning property in fantastic location! The inside and outdoor spaces of this home are gorgeous. The street is beautiful and located near many restaurants and attractions. Walking distance to Rhodes College, the zoo, and park. The host was accessible to answer questions and she left a cake for us on the buffet in the dining room! Such a lovely surprise!!
This home is beautiful, clean, and immaculately kept. The host is kind and has excellent communication and prompt response time with guests. I stayed with two young babies and they even had a Pack and Play in one of the closets for us to use. I will stay here again and recommend it to friends and family - the highest endorsement.
My family and I loved staying here, such hospitality. After driving for several hours we were greeted with a delicious spice cake. Highly recommend this beautiful home to stay in.
We were in town for family wedding. The house was perfect for our needs, very spacious, clean and located on a lovely street. Would definitely recommend
The Magnolia House was very accommodating to our family. We loved the close proximity to the Memphis Zoo and Overton Park. The house was perfect. Location was safe and great for touring around Memphis.
What a beautiful house! I’ve done quite a bit of traveling and this one stands out for sure! The detail in each room was so impressive. My girlfriend/partner was just beside herself. Great hosts and great neighborhood right across from the zoo which is second to none! I was just impressed with the entire experience! Thank you for the memories!!
We reserved this VRBO for our son’s Rhodes graduation. Great location. The host was extremely helpful and available if needed. Backyard was beautiful and relaxing. I would strongly recommend this VRBO.
Please see my previous review. This is a superlative place to stay in every way, for any age. We love returning each time we visit our family in Memphis. It feels like a second home!
There is no more delightful or perfect place to stay in Memphis, TN. The location is ideal for families and adults. The neighborhood is safe and beautiful. The house is beautifully decorated, immaculately clean and with everything you could ever want. One of my granddaughters asks every year if we can stay in Magnolia Place when we visit Memphis.
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful house in Memphis. The home was immaculate and well-maintained, making it comfortable and relaxing for our trip. The location couldn't have been more perfect—just a short distance from Rhodes College, which made it very convenient for our visit.
The neighborhood was quiet, and we felt safe the entire time. The house itself was spacious, with all the amenities we needed.
Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
The property was beautiful and the neighborhood was full of walkers and runners being so close to the park and zoo. Our host and hostess had the property well prepared along with a baked cake. We do have a few suggestions to suit parties of all adults. The bathroom in the laundry room could use hooks on the walls for towels and maybe a small table for personal items. We thought two of the rooms had twin beds in them, not roll aways. We enjoyed our stay and found everything we needed as being there. Oh, perhaps cone shaped coffee filters being provided. 😉
Very nice home. The sitting rooms provided an excellent atmosphere for relaxing conversation among our family. The bedrooms were so comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay
This is the place to stay, it had everything we needed, great location directly across from the Memphis Zoo and Overton Park. Lots of places to walk in the neighborhood and in the park on a beautiful November morning.
Our host was extremely welcoming. We had a homemade pound cake and flowers waiting for us when we arrived. In addition, we had a list of places to visit and recommended restaurants...all of which were amazing!
The Magnolia house is a beautiful home that has great curb appeal everything was in its proper place and it truely gave the home away from home feel, and lastly the host were very communicative and welcoming.
