The house is close to Main St, which made it nice for our group. The house is old and has apparently been added on to and, as such, is ill-arranged. There are two bathrooms upstairs, but only one bedroom. That being said, it was nice to have 5 bedrooms. We did have an issue with one bathroom lavatory being VERY slow to drain, but we worked around it okay. This was our second time to stay in the house, but we believed that because it is on the market to be sold, the maintenance is being somewhat overlooked. The back yard needed MUCH attention. I don't think we would stay there again.

Nice Place

Great old style house. Inside well done, comfortable and decorated. Lawn care has been neglected. Home advertised as blocks from historic district. True, blocks from northern boundary of historic district, but many, many blocks from downtown historic district.

Quiet Nice Home Close to Main Street

This house is deceptive at first but once you go inside you’ll be surprised at how big it is. Very old timey feel to it but that’s what makes it great. Location is awesome too since it was only a 5 mins drive to Main Street. Our group loved the house, would definitely stay again.

The house was perfect for the 10 of us!!! I had the impression that each bedroom had its own bathroom but that's not the case....only 3 bathrooms downstairs.....Good thing we are all great friends!!! The hot tub could have been warmer than 90 degrees.....

Fun Family Trip

The charming, historic Magnolia House is spacious, clean, tastefully decorated and gives you a nice, comfortable feeling. It was a great place for our family to get together. The layout is unique but knowing that the house was a former bed and breakfast, it makes sense (two rooms have outdoor entry access if you do not want to go through the house). Wish the weather had been a little cooler so we could have enjoyed the outdoor amenities. Very easy check-in and check-out.

Enjoyed our Stay

It was a charming old house that was just the right size for our group of 9. The layout of the home was a little odd but the rooms were a good size. Our only complaints were that it did seem to need a little TLC since it was a little in disrepair. We enjoyed the hot tub in the back of the main house, we did not use the second smaller one, but it never really got warm hot enough for us. Other thank that really really enjoyed our stay.

Good house, needs maintenance and better kitchenware

It is a nice house with good common space for friends/family to get together. Unfortunately, the kitchen is not that well equipped. No proper serving spoons or cutlery. Dishwasher did not work properly. The fridge seems to leak. Not enough kitchen towels. House needs better maintenance: shaky doorknobs and faucets

Magnolia House

We enjoyed our stay and found the house clean and providing practically everything we could possibly need. However, the toilet in the smallest bathroom toward the rear of the house hardly flushed. The toilet seat in the bathroom next to the kitchen had a major crack. Both of those should have been corrected before our arrival. Also, there is an over-abundance of dishes and glasses but a severe shortage of silverware in the kitchen. We found no knives for place settings. Also, we found ONE placemat but enough napkins to service a large restaurant. Sometimes, small things can become big. I don't mean to be negative but I do think these are things that should be addressed.

.Magnolia House

The Magnolia House is a lovely old house. We are a group of high school friends who manage to take a trip somewhere most every year. We enjoy staying together, so we found the house's 2 living rooms and two dining rooms along with 3 other sitting areas and 2 kitchen spaces to be over- kill. We do like our own private bedrooms and bathrooms, but the house was so poorly arranged that we only ended up using 3 of the bathrooms. The extra bathroom upstairs and the one at the very back of the house went un-used because of their locations. This meant four of us shared the other two bathrooms. While this was not necessarily a problem, it defeated the purpose of having paid for a house with 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. We also did not like the idea of having to go through the Magnolia Room to get to one of the bedrooms. I believe this house may have had some re-modeling done at some time. It seems that some of these issues could have (and probably should have) been addressed at that time.

Weekend Getaway

There was plenty of space for four couples to enjoy a long weekend exploring the area. Very convenient to downtown yet far enough away to be quiet. Because of the age of the house, the bedroom / bath arrangement was unique but functional. Kitchen wasn't stocked necessarily for robust culinary efforts and some of the glassware needed to be washed before using. Hot tub was in great condition and very relaxing.

Great House, Great Location, but a few things to know.

Overall we loved this property. The location was perfect and it had enough room for all our guests. We had a total of 5 couples who came to celebrate my wife's 40th birthday. The house was charming, clean and relatively comfortable. The beds were great. We did have a few challenges and I do feel like part of this would have been good to know up front. The house advertises as a 5 bedroom 5 bathroom, which sort of suggests that there are 5 master bedrooms when in fact there are not. Technically speaking there really are no traditional master bedrooms. 3 of the 5 did have private bathroom accessibility but 2 of the bedrooms did not. Also, with 10 people we had planned to cook meals and given that the property had 2 full kitchens we expected that would be possible but we found basic things missing like skillets and baking trays. Just trying to do breakfast tacos was extremely complicated because neither kitchen had the right equipment. In the evening, enjoying the backyard and hot tub was difficult and we ultimately gave up on it because the lighting was extremely poor. Also, it's worth noting that one of the bedrooms is only accessible by either walking through another bedroom or entering through a separate exterior entrance. So this made navigating the house a little tricky, but ultimately not that big of a deal. All in all we did love the house and would consider staying there again in the future but it would have been good to have better information and details about the kitchen and bathroom situations.

Our stay at the Magnolia House for three nights was very comfortable and satisfying. The house made our Ladies Trip enjoyable with all it's Vintage decor and modern amenities. Close to the shopping and the local eateries and wineries we so love . Neighborhood was quiet all night and awakened to the birds singing each morning. Thank You Gasthaus !
