What a wonderful historic home! We spent a long weekend in Memphis with in-laws. I didn’t realize what a gorgeous location I had booked. It suited us perfectly- 3 BR and 3 full baths. Plenty of room inside, and also on back patio, to relax. Owners were so kind in providing nice touches in the home. They also helped us find service for our car. Just perfect.

We had an amazing stay at The Magnolia House! Elizabeth was an excellent host and truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. When we arrived, the lighting was perfect, music was playing, and she had even left a cake out for us. Those little touches made such a difference and showed how much thought and care she puts into this home.The house was absolutely immaculate and so clean, the beds were comfortable, and the neighborhood felt safe. The location was great, too, directly across the street from The View.We were in Memphis for Bands of America, so we didn’t get to spend as much time at the house as we would have liked, but every moment we were there was wonderful. We are already planning to stay here again next year when we return for Bands of America!Thank you, Elizabeth, for making our stay so special. We would highly recommend The Magnolia House to anyone visiting Memphis!
