The house is beautiful. It reminds you of the 1800’s Homes that you would pay to tour. However you are also afraid to use the furniture. The beds creak and you can see where the repairs are. The living room couch has a cement block in place of the middle leg and the coffee table is so wobbly that you don’t want to set anything on it for fear it will break. The outdoor furniture is wicker that is shredding all over. The refrigerator was dirty and the microwave has a tendency to blow the switch every other time it’s used. They do send out someone very quickly for any issues that you might have. It is a wonderful, beautiful home just not comfortable to stay in.

Great Location and perfect for a group!

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.

Girl’s Trip

Six of us senior gal friends met for 3 nights of togetherness at The Magnolias. All of us were delighted with the grandeur, spaciousness, cleanliness, well equipped, convenience to activities, comfortable beds, and quietness of our accommodations. The 6 person cart was fun to tour Jefferson.

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!

Victorian Southern Belle

If this house was a lady, she would be a Southern Belle. Utterly charming. From the moment we arrived and explored the home, we decided we didn't need to go anywhere else. The home is so welcoming - it just gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling. All we wanted to do was sit on the front porch swing, enjoy the breeze, and sip our tea. There are so many places in the home to sit and socialize. We spent quiet mornings in the sunroom over a cup of brew planning our day. The golf cart adds an element of fun and adventure. Don't miss out on this home. It's going on my repeat list.

Beautiful home with so many wonderful antiques and charming appointments. Spacious rooms. Large dining table with many chairs. So many places to gather. A delightful breezeway with ceiling fans and comfortable wicker chairs and loveseats. Many outdoor seating spots and a lovely front porch to gather. We loved the golf cart supplied to go out each night to dinner. Also, the wonderfully landscaped homes in the area were so much fun to drive by.

Rental fee misleading

Most importantly when hiuse was rented i was under the impression that we were renting the whole house thay skeeps 14 people for one price. After leaving property i was billed for addirional guests stating i paid for 2 people and used all bedrooms. I originally put in number of guests and VRBO changed it to two. Who would rent a house that sleeps 14 for just 2 people. I went ahead and paid the additional fee but i would never pay what we paid to rent that house for use of 2 bedrooms. The neighbirhood was very nice and it was located very close to the square. The house is very accomodating in size as well. The beds and pullows were very comfortable. The overall experience, however, had its drawbacks including the following:Kitchen : ant problem on counters, low water pressure in kitchen sink, microwave kept flipping power strip after 10 seconds.There are 5 bathrooms but only two of them have showers.Internet and cable never worked.Hvac did not keep the entire house cool.One of the master bathroom sinks had no hot water and the shower did not get real hot.Outside lights under carport did not work.The provided golf cart was a great additive but we had to spend time scrubbing it to even be able to use it. We only stayed two nighys so we did not take the time to have the owner address these issues on a holiday weekend.

Jefferson stay

The house on the outside was lovely! Inside was nice with antique furnishings! Too much clutter meaning too many Knick knacks everywhere! The listing did not say one of the bedrooms downstairs does not have a full bathroom. It has a tiny bathroom which was a half bath. We had to use our friends master bath to shower! Wish they would have stated that! Rugs were dirty! House needed dusting and floors swept! For the price we were disappointed! Overall the house was neat but needed to declutter and a deep cleaning!

The Magnolia Mansion

This home was a beautiful historical home nestled in the heart of downtown Jefferson. There are plenty of bedrooms for family and friends. The grounds were beautiful and having a golf cart to zip around town was a bonus. My favorite part was the large front porch with swing to sit, drink some ice tea and watch those passing by the home. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the history of the town and the home. I do wish there were more shower options-- there is only one downstairs and one upstairs so you have to get creative and share that space. However there are several half baths.
