There is nothing about this property that was described online that was accurate. There was a door with a note/lock between us and another group of family!!!! A bar of used soap was in the upstairs shower! The trash was completely full upon arrival and had bugs all around it. Not worth the daily rate. The DECK looked beautiful on the photos so we planned to eat outside—the weeds were grown up so much and the deck did not look safe.

Magnolia Manor is a beautiful home. We rented it for my son’s wedding. Plenty of room for our family plus his groomsmen stayed one night and got dressed for the wedding at the house. It was close to the church and to the reception venue. Uber was easy transportation. Definitely would stay here again.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Not pleasant
The property itself was fine. It fit my family for my wedding weekend. The floors hadn’t been thoroughly cleaned in some rooms, but it wasn’t unbearable. The main issue was communication with the hosts. They tried to charge me extra when I told them I may have 12 guests stay (which is the max occupancy), but I wasn’t sure. Ended up only being 6. There were 2 guests staying in the guest suite, who you share a carport and some walls with, who we believe were smoking (not cigarettes) inside despite it being a no smoking rental and also had specific instructions that illegal drugs were not allowed. Our entire upstairs reeked every night as soon as the heat came on and did not dissipate easily. We were told vents were not shared, but we smelled it. It was so bad constantly, I had to keep all of my hanging clothes in my car and my suitcase closed downstairs. When I told the host after we left (chose not to before since we shared a carport), they told us the other guests claimed they were burning incense, but that was not the smell we had. There also weren’t any lightbulbs in the foyer or working lights on the porch, but some cars had to be on the street since the guests in the guest suite had the 2nd spot in the carport. People parking on the street had to find their way in in the dark. Not very safe.. Overall, we won’t be returning or staying anywhere these hosts are involved with.

We were in Jackson for a graduation with family. This was the perfect place with lots of room and great location to everything. The back deck was a great place to relax and grill. The bedrooms were big and comfortable. We will definitely stay again when visiting Jackson. Brad and Jo were very responsive and helpful with our stay. I had to change dates and that was no problem at all.

Great homebase for a large group
This is the place! It was lovely. I stayed here with my husband and his extended family to attend a graduation ceremony. This was the ideal place for our large group to stay together and enjoy our time in Jackson, MS. The house is historic and large enough for us to spread out and get plenty of breathing room - they don't make 'em like this anymore! I especially enjoyed sipping my morning coffee on the deck and watching all of the red cardinals flitting about. We were able to cook onsite and enjoyed being central to much of what Jackson has to offer. Our hosts, Jo and Brad, were very communicative and accommodating. They answered our questions in the weeks leading up to our stay. They were great VRBO hosts! Stop scrolling, this is the spot!

No complaints here!
My weekend was stressful in all aspects imaginable trying to move in 2 college students in 2 different states within a 24-48 hour window. The only thing not stressful was staying at this property. I had multiple travel changes that were at times touch and go in less than an hour on a few occasions. The property manager was extremely understanding during such an uncertain and emotional time. Their flexibility with my ever-changing schedule was a Godsend and relieved so much stress. The house was everything and more. We did not want or need for anything that wasn't already readily available in the home. The shower in the "hotel" is to die for! I will definitely recommend to my friends and book again in the future!

We rented the house, along with the guest unit, to attend our daughter's graduation at Belhaven University. We had 10 people that stayed in the house. We were never crowded and we had plenty of hot water to shower with throughout the weekend. the house was built during the Great Depression and it showed it's age in that the floor was uneven, but it is filled with charm.
