The house was a perfect place to enjoy some family time during Baylors Family weekend. Absolutely loved the kitchen and dining room for gathering. In the late afternoon, after all our sightseeing, shopping, and cheering on the Bears, I enjoyed reading on the front porch swing.

Adorable House Close to Everything!

We loved this house. Had everything we needed and more. Checking in/out was very easy and hassle free. My 11 year old daughter thought it was so fun to watch the Fixer Upper Episode where Chip & Joanna remodeled it. Hope to stay again next year!

The Magnolia Experience

Affordable and clean stay with the full Magnolia experience. Toddler age kids loved the backyard and house was kid friendly too. Would recommend to anyone but in particular those with young children. Only request would be a full length mirror in a bedroom or bathroom.
