Great R&R
I met the host, who was very friendly and offered to help if we needed anything. My friend had just learned that she had cancer the week before our stay; she got sick during the first night there and we had to cut our stay short. The home was super cozy nicely furnished and had many extras. We wish we could have experienced more time there.

Great outdoor space!
Stayed here while visiting Talladega's superspeedway. About a 50-minute drive to the speedway. Spent a week in AL. This cottage was our third VRBO and a great place to end our vacation. The cottage was as expected - clean, tidy, and very comfortable. Great outdoor space. Spent the majority of our time relaxing on the back porch. Great thrifting in the area (if that's your 'thing'). We had an immediate need upon arrival and the owner was quick to respond - very attentive, which was greatly appreciated. Overall, it is the best place we stayed during our trip.

Steele Magnolia is clean,well stocked, & has a warm homey feeling. The host, Shannon, responds quickly to texts, makes delicious banana bread, decorates to complement the current season, & follows up during your stay. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking equipment, Keurig coffee & hot chocolate pods & hot tea bags. This was out 2nd stay.

More than you could hope for!
This cottage is what you hope for when you book a rental! You might not know from the outside, but inside the house has been renovated and refurbished incredibly! There’s so much character - modern amenities wish antique touches! The outdoor space is fun and relaxing with a great side yard for your pup. The host has put an incredible amount of attention to detail to bringing this home to life. Shannon is also extremely kind and wants the best experience for each guest - providing contact information for any needs and checking in when my husband and I checked out a bit early to ensure everything was okay. 12/10 recommend! Absolutely would book again if near Steele!

Family stay for a wedding
Three adult men stayed at the house for two nights. Very pleased with home and owners. Location worked well as it was close to the wedding venue and the Family home. Owner is extremely kind and helpful. Available during later hours for questions after a long wedding day and evening. I would highly recommend this property!

Perfect
Steele Magnolia exceeded our expectations. The house has been updated, & was very clean, with a rustic, homey feeling. The décor complemented the age of the home. The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to make complete meals. There were plenty of bath towels & other linens. More personal touches that one could imagine. We arrived to a welcoming note with a fresh baked loaf of delicious banana bread & a bowl of chocolate candy plus a fridge with cold bottled water, various carbonated drinks & even some eggs. But for us, the best feature of the house was the screened in back porch, complete with comfortable furniture, TV, & blankets It was so relaxing sitting out there in the evening. The fire pit was ready to go if only the temperature had not been in the 80’s. LOL. We visit our friends in Steele about twice a year & have stayed various places. But, from Here on out, all future stays will be at Steele Magnolia. It felt like we were at home. Thank you for a great experience.

Shannon was wonderful to work with, we came in really late from California and we’re absolutely delighted from the moment we walked in the door. The home was perfect, great kitchen setup, beds were comfortable and the back screened in porch was perfect for coffee in the morning and relaxing in the evening. Highly recommend staying here
