*CLEANING FEE DISCLAIMER: We are disenchanted that we have a pass-through cleaning fee so high these days but, this is our new reality. We understand that when this fee is split by the large groups that is nominal per-person but we want you to know our hearts are that we wish it wasn’t so high regardless of that. It is a very large property to turn over in such a short amount of time & weekend help is extremely hard to find. We only have 1780 people that live here so we have to be the highest paid to retain the best & they are AWESOME! Conversely, we are pleased to remind you that we have so much included w/ this property (ask us for our items stocked list. Seriously, we provide SO much) You don’t need to bring trash bags or paper goods. We stock enough for your entire stay, not just a starter amount. Bathroom & facial tissues, paper towels, trash bags, napkins, salt & pepper shakers, DW detergent, laundry detergent, aluminum foil, zip lock bags, plastic Saran-type wrap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, bar soap, Q-tips, cotton balls, hand soap, kitchen sponges, first aid kits, & Dawn dish soap. We have hospitality boxes w/ all sorts of things guests may forget. Our guests have told us in reviews that all they need to bring is food & clothes. One last thing on cleaning: If you are going to check out on a weekday, please inquire if there will be a break in this fee. There is no way for us to separate it out so we would be happy to address on a case by case if you initiate. Thanks for considering booking this AMAZING property.

About the host

Hosted by Dave and Ann

Host profile image
We have been married for 27 years and have two AMAZING kids. We both have hospitality backgrounds. We own and operate “Your Big Lake House” and “The Magnolia House”. Along with other smaller units on the same property as "The Magnolia House". We are also in the Real Estate business. Our passion is to ensure that everyone of our guests has a FIVE STAR stay at our properties and we always try and go above and beyond. Thanks for considering staying with us!

Why they chose this property

Tons to do in the area. We are close to Little River Falls, Little River Canyon, DeSoto Falls, Orbitz Hot Glass blowing, Pirates Bay water park (seasonal), Mentone, white water rafting and rappelling. Included with this home, we have a private gas grill, board games, yard games, pool, hot tub, lake access, kayaks, outdoor dining area, wood burning fire pit, large patio with a propane fire pit, game room, shared playground, etc. We are VERY remote, yet a Piggly Wiggly & Dollar General and several restaurants are as close as 12 mins away. A Walmart is 20 mins away and everything else you need is 30-40 minutes away either in Gadsden AL, Ft. Payne AL, or Rome, GA. The country road we are on are very walkable and bikeable so bring your bikes!

What makes this property unique

This historic home was built in 1870 by the Webbs. It was originally built down the hill where the lake is now. (When the water level drops you can still see the giant tree stumps from the two trees that were in the front yard). When the lake was built in late 50's, the owners of the house had it moved uphill so the house could be saved from impending flooding. Since they were then going to get a view of the lake, they turned the home so that the porches faced the new lake. The Poland family that purchased the property in the 1980's added glass to the front porches for four season enjoyment. The original front of the home, my favorite, faces the woods and has two OLD gigantic Magnolia trees; hence the name The Magnolia House. We bought it in 2017 and opened her up for events and for leisure travel.

The options are VERY limited when it comes to finding a property to hold larger groups. We have seen others that are 4 townhomes in a row or several houses in a subdivision in close proximity but this "compound", so-to-speak, is all together. Family reunions, weddings, corporate, or church retreats. We can connect you with caterers and all ancillary services. Our reputation is that "we have thought of everything". We really do live that. For the most part, all your group needs to bring is food and clothing. We have everything else. Trash bags, paper towels, bath tissues, Kleenex, shampoo, conditioners, soaps, dishwasher and laundry detergents, coffee sweeteners, basic spices, salt and pepper shakers, linens, bath towels, and so much more!

Love the property but need even more space? We have multiple smaller units on the other side of the property you can add on to this listing if you are needing additional space. Looking to reserve the entire resort you can do so by booking “Magnolia Overlook” (property id#4114390)
