We had a great time on our recent trip. The host communicated timely. The house was clean and spacious so we never felt like we were stepping over each other. We loved that the host provided more than enough replenishment supplies like trash bags, etc. The property was surrounded by trees and loved the privacy as well. The outside grills were older and/or needed to be cleaned. We were concerned about cooking on them so only cooked inside (not a big deal because it was hot outside). Would definitely recommend this property and host!

Great place to relax

The Blue Magnolia was perfect for our annual birthday getaway with four couples. Wonderful accommodations with a very comfortable feel. Close enough to area towns and attractions. Great restaurants close by. A perfect place for relaxing, playing games, fishing and crafting.

Lovely location for reunion of old friends

This is the second time we've stayed at Blue Magnolia and we've been delighted both times. We're a group of friends who shared an overseas boarding school experience over 50 years ago, and it's a lovely place to reconnect, remember, relax, and look ahead. Thanks Jeff, for providing us with such an idyllic setting for our reunion.

Great family fun week

Enjoyed the vacation at this house. Lots of great fishing. Only turn off I guess I would have to say is all the trailers/mobile homes on the road leading to the house.

Response from VrboOwner on 12 Oct 2023
Thanks for the review! Sorry that the sight of mobile homes was a turn off for you. That is one sight you do see when you go out to the country, but everyone in the neighborhood is nice and would give you the shirt off their back. Hope this doesn't deter you from booking again. Jeff

Giant home away from home

Family Girls' Trip

This place is great. The location, the number of bedrooms, and baths, the back porch, the view and the quiet peacefulness made this a perfect spot for us all. From my 91 yr old mother down to my 18-month-old great nephews and all in between, we all had a blessed weekend.

Perfect for a Large Family

Great family get together! Plenty of sleeping spaces with everyone having their own bathroom! Kids hunted for snails. Plenty of seating to visit , inside & outside. Nice campfire at night. Felt like you were secluded but close to a store if needed. Easy check in & out! Would book again!!

Perfect home for large families!

We had 17 adults and the house was perfect for us. It was as described on VRBO and every part of our stay was great. Jeff was immediately responsive to all of our questions throughout booking and during our stay. Thank you and hopefully we can stay with you again someday. I highly recommend this host and house!

Outside oasis

The backyard was so much prettier than we expected. We loved the giant fire pit and the huge porch. My kids loved fishing in the cove and I loved how quiet it was outside. We would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay at Magnolia Lodge! It's a large home equipped with all necessities and comforts,(clean and well-kept) for a fantastic stay! The private cove provides great excess for swimming and paddleboard activities. Our hosts are friendly and hospitable in every way. This was our second stay at ML. We gladly recommend this property for any group. Enjoy!

We enjoyed a perfect weekend at the Blue Magnolia. This place has everything you could need for a peaceful getaway! Amazing lake views, beautifully decorated house, cozy patio, fire table, hot tub were all perfect for our winter escape. It was super clean, stocked, and ready for us to feel right at home. Location was great. We explored the area and did some antique shopping. We are ready to go back!!!
