We were in town for a baseball tournament with 9 kids and 3 families. This home allowed us to spread out and not be on top of each other. Plenty of beds and being on the lake was great for fishing and entertaining the kids.

We had a wonderful vacation at Magnolia Lake House! The host answered our few minor questions very quickly and genuinely cared about our stay and our travels. There were four outdoor areas that were perfect for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful setting. The home was immaculate and beautifully decorated. Many unique touches to the home by the host that made the experience very special (I learned a lot about AL football!)....

My family really enjoyed staying in this newly renovated house on the lake! Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable - bathrooms and kitchens were newly renovated and overall house was beautifully decorated. We enjoyed playing cards on the deck and sitting outside for morning coffee - Bunk rooms were fabulous and allowed for kids to convene and watch movies together. Large TV in living room allowed for great game day viewing! Kitchen was fully stocked - great towels, bedding and amenities provided excellent comfort
