About this property

Our most luxurious accommodation, the Carriage House is located on the second floor of the site from which it takes its name. The original Carriage House dates to the construction of the main house in 1885. The first floor was for carriage storage and the second floor, an open loft, served as general storage for various items (i.e. hay, spare parts, etc.). In the early 1920s the Carriage House was reconstructed as a living space on its original foundations.

Today's Carriage House is furnished with Renaissance Revival antiques. The large open floor plan provides plenty of room, with a bedroom, living space, TV/DVD and wi-fi, kitchenette and 600 square feet of private veranda where you can enjoy a view of all the gardens of the Magnolia Plantation. The Carriage House has a gas log fireplace in the bedroom area and a gas log fireplace in the bathroom. The bathroom also boasts an oversized Jacuzzi with a rainfall showerhead.

** IMPORTANT NOTE: Breakfast is not included in bookings through VRBO.
