 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were visiting family in the area so we booked this charming B&B.  Upon entering the house we were greeted vintage decor that is impeccably maintained and soft music playing in the background.
Our suite was more than roomy and the bathroom was larger than most NYC apartments!  :-)
Most importantly - at least for us - was that everything was immaculate.  It's clear that great care is taken to maintain this inn.

The only glitch we had was when we arrived, the code for the door wasn't working.  A quick phone call with Cecilia and she had us up and running in a couple of minutes.
(As for Cecilia... we cannot thank her enough for her warmth and hospitality.  It's impossible to overstate how much she did for us while we were guests at the Inn.  The embodiment of 'Southern charm and hospitality.  Thank you!!)

Jordan and Cecilia were both wonderful, gracious hosts from before the reservation was made all the way through the time we pulled off the property! Our anniversary was made incredibly special thanks to these two! We had an amazing stay at the Magnolia Inn and will plan for another stay in the future!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had our baby shower at this location. Everything was perfect from the food, to room set up, to the service!! Guests also stayed at the Inn overnight and said they enjoyed their experience, their breakfast, and the hospitality provided by the owner. This is a beautiful venue with exceptional service. Thank you so much for helping to make this baby shower so special!

The breakfasts are perfection!
Cecile (sp?) is the most dedicated staff person I’ve ever encountered!

It was fabulous, every detail so thoughtfully placed and Jordan accommodated a mocktail bar per my request! Got lots of compliments on the food and overall aesthetic. Loved not having to plan every single detail, a true all inclusive package!
