Magnolia Manor is an exquisite 1853 home located in the heart of Columbiana, Alabama. From the moment you step inside, you are transported back in time to a bygone era of elegance and refinement.

The home has been lovingly restored to its former glory, with no expense spared in the process. The attention to detail is evident in every room, from the soaring ceilings to the beautiful original floors and doors.

The centerpiece of the home is the chef's kitchen, which is a cook's dream come true. The kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, including a gas range. The kitchen also features a large island with plenty of seating, perfect for gathering with friends and family.

The living room is equally impressive, with a large sectional sofa and a 75" TV mounted above the fireplace. The room is tastefully decorated with gorgeous furnishings.

The home boasts three king suites, each with their own en-suite bathroom. The bathrooms are adorned with gorgeous tile work and feature oversized showers and fireplace heaters. The bedrooms are equally impressive, with plush king-size beds and luxurious linens.

Perhaps one of the most charming aspects of the home is the abundance of fireplaces. There is a fireplace in every bedroom and in the living room, adding to the ambiance and charm of this historic home.

Outside, the back porch is a perfect place to relax and unwind. The porch is furnished with comfortable seating and features a gas grill and cowboy cauldron for outdoor cooking and entertaining. The backyard provides a private oasis for guests to enjoy.

The chef is highly skilled and trained in the culinary arts, with years of experience creating delicious and visually stunning meals. Guests can work with the chef to create a custom menu that suits their tastes and dietary restrictions, whether it be a gourmet breakfast, a picnic lunch, or an elegant dinner party.

The chef uses only the freshest and highest quality ingredients, often sourcing locally grown produce and meats. They are also adept at pairing wines with each course, creating a true culinary experience for guests.

Having a personal chef at Magnolia Manor is a truly special experience, allowing guests to relax and enjoy the company of their friends and family while savoring the delicious creations of a talented chef.

Definitely 5 Stars
The house in Columbiana was perfection! We were in town for the softball World Series and decided to rent the house to have a comfortable, home base for the long weekend! The house is nothing short of stunning and very clean! The beds were amazingly comfortable too! We’ll definitely use Susie and her rentals again!!!

Breathtakingly Beautiful & Immaculate.
We stayed in this lovely home for our son’s wedding near by and we could not have been more pleased. My elderly mother was comfortable in the lower bedroom with her own en suite. My husband and I stayed upstairs in one of the suites and our sister-in-law and her husband stayed in the other upstairs suite. The kitchen was amazing and we wished we could have spent more time cooking in the amazing chef’s kitchen. It was fully stocked with everything that you could need to make a fabulous meal. The owner welcomed us via email and checked on us throughout our stay to see that everything was alright. She was great to work with. If you are staying in the area look no further, this is the place for you. Short walk to the little town which had amazing coffee.

About the host

Hosted by Susie Clements

Host profile image
Meet the Clements family, a group of vacation rental experts who are dedicated to providing their guests with exceptional service and luxurious accommodations. The family began their venture with four members, but has since grown to include a son-in-law and grandson, who they lovingly refer to as the "apple of our eye."

Randy had years of experience running a general contractor business before selling it in 2021. Susie, his wife, has a background in property management. Together, they have blended their skills to create stunning rentals that are second to none.

One of the things that sets the Clements family's rentals apart from others is their focus on providing peaceful, non-crowded locations that are perfect for families with special needs. With a child who cannot walk or talk, they understand the challenges of finding accommodations that are both comfortable and accessible. That's why they go above and beyond to ensure that each unit is designed to meet the needs of all guests, regardless of their abilities.

Their first rentals were located in the tranquil town of Mexico Beach, Florida, but they soon expanded to include a mountain retreat in Blue Ridge/Ellijay, Georgia, as well as a few local short-term rentals in Alabama. By the end of 2022, they had a portfolio of four stunning beach condos, a mountain creekside retreat, and several Alabama rentals.

The Clements family remains grounded and focused on providing exceptional service to each and every guest. They take pride in their attention to detail and their commitment to making sure that every guest feels like family. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a repeat renter, you can rest assured that you'll be treated with kindness, respect, and the utmost care.

Why they chose this property

We walked through the home in awe of the history, the gorgeous bones , and the charming town. There was no way we were going to allow this piece of history to sit and rot away, so we bought it and brought her back to life.

What makes this property unique

There is just not another home in the area like this one. Each suite is huge and boasts a wonderful en-suite bathroom.
