We got married with 30 of our family at the Magnolia House and it was the best week of our lives. The house was AMAZING and PERFECT and BEAUTIFUL in every way. I don't even know where to begin. There were 32 of us, yet there were so many beds, everyone got a comfy place to sleep. The outside area with the covered pergola allowed us to hang out in the fresh air even during rain and we were dry and comfy. And the kitchen... we only catered two nights, so we had to feed all 32 of us for the full week, and the kitchen was large and well equipped. There was an extra fridge and freezer in the garage just a few steps away. We also had access to extra furniture, including white table linens, chairs, tables, and all sorts of decor (little lanterns, too!) that made the wedding so special. There is now a hot tub, which the kids loved. Also, the sand volleyball court. And the dock on the lake and the boat! The place comes with a boat (extra charge, but the boat is RIGHT THERE for you at your own dock). The boat was really the main hit, and we took it out every single day. Finally, Dave and Ann responded to every text and also made sure an additional person was on standby in case we needed anything; so, we had at least two contacts. On day one, we realized we forgot coffee and they brought us some within minutes. Perfection!
We booked the adjacent Rose Cottage as well for four extra bedrooms, three baths, and another full kitchen. We celebrated two birthdays there towards the end of our trip and all 32 of us fit just fine in the living room/kitchen area for the party. It's just a few steps from the main house!
We cannot say enough about how wonderful Magnolia House and the Rose Cottage were. If you are considering a gathering of family and/or friends for a celebration or just a big vacation, go to this place. You will never forget it!
