Hot House!!!
Six of us stayed at this property Labor Day weekend and to say it was a fantastic and wonderful time spent with life long friends is an understatement…far from it!! The house was HOT when we arrived and it remained that way almost all weekend. There were issues with the ac, plumbing issues, electrical problems and to say it nicely the house was just unkept. So many parts of the house were not taken care of like I would think the owner should have taken with the house. Our phone calls and texts were answered in a timely manner but we had 3-6 service men at the house 3 days of our stay…just what we wanted!! If you think cool is 81 degrees that’s not my thought pattern! I would not recommend this property to my worst enemy as I wouldn’t want them to have to endure the heat, not receive any sincere consideration from the host or just not being shown any empathy.

Cute house but needs to be maintained and cleaned better.
This is indeed a pretty house and has a comfortable bed in the main bedroom. The jacuzzi does not work and the tub had hair in it. The bedding should be made of of something that can be washed in between guests. I don't like staying where the duvet is unwashed. The outside seating is covered in mold so it isn't possible to sit outside. The thing that bothered me the most was that my dogs came back with fleas, and they have never had flea's in all the years I had them. It wasn't fun dealing with this for a week after leaving.

Friends' Reunion
We spent 4 days & 3 nights at The Magnolias for our annual girls' trip. Most of our time was spent in the lovely sunroom. We also enjoyed the parlor, well-equipped kitchen/dining room and touring Jefferson in the golf cart. Beds were comfortable. The roomy carport protected our 3 cars during a storm. There was plenty of additional parking in the driveway. The host had a book with a range of activities and restaurant recommendations, but speaking with her yielded the best places with the latest updates. Train horns were frequent but rarely loud. The town of Marshall is just 15 minutes away with more amenities and restaurants. Overall, a great house and a great host!

Beautiful Hostoric Home
It was wonderful to have so many bedroom. The kitchen was perfect for our needs. It was nice to be able to sit at the dining table to visit. We all had plenty of room. Loved the porch! The refrigerator was dirty. All of the toilets but one were very short. Hit my head on the fan in the bedroom. Bathrooms need soap to wash hands. There were so many TV remotes! Needed instructions on how to work the TV. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Mardi Gras Girls Weekend!
The Magnolias is not only stunningly beautiful, it is extremely comfortable, well equipped and was absolutely perfect for our group of 14 ladies, late 50s. Teresa, the host, is outstanding in communication and friendliness. We spent our rainy Saturday afternoon at her incredible restaurant, Haywood House, watching the parade from the balcony and enjoying bar beverages. Our accommodations were immaculate and our weekend was perfect!!!! Thank you so much Teresa!!!

Other than the close by train, we absolutely loved this house. It felt like we were stepping back in history. It was decorated beautifully and we really enjoyed taking the golf cart to town.

This place is beautiful, house was very clean when we arrived, the owner, Teresa was so wonderful and fun, so easy to get along with. We came down for a bachelorette party and the house was perfect for it. Jefferson is so cozy, the locals are so sweet. It was great having a golf cart to drive around without having to go rent one. 100% recommend The magnolias!

Inquire with owner
Our stay was ok. The description lead us to believe there were 5 bathrooms when there was actually 3 full baths and 2 half baths. We were all over 70 and it was a little difficult to have to go downstairs in the middle of the night because the bedroom with no doors did not have access to a bath.

This is a neat old house with a ton of rooms and sleeping spaces. We had a group of 9 girls and had plenty of room to spread out. There is a golf cart provided that was perfect to use to travel to and from downtown. We had the best time here and would definitely stay again.
