Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay and had a chance to enjoy the pool. We’d love to host you again anytime. 😊
We ended up at magnolia manor by accident as our initial reservation for 4th of July weekend through Vrbo was abruptly canceled due to the property selling. It was just me, my girlfriend, and her 3 kids headed home from a week at dance nationals looking for a getaway in between comp and back to reality. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay than Magnolia manor. The private pool was amazing and enjoyed by all. The house was so roomy, we felt we got lost a couple of times and had a couple EPIC rounds of hide and seek. The book nook is such a neat little feature that allows you to take a piece of your stay with you. The cleanliness, amenities and extras were top notch. Communication was so quick and easy for anything we had questions about. I would leave 6 stars if I could, I can't recommend this place and staff enough. Excellent 4th of July weekend, we had an absolute blast

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review! It means so much to hear that what began as an unexpected change in your travel plans turned into such a wonderful Fourth of July getaway.
We’re so glad the pool, the home’s spacious layout, and all the little touches helped make your stay so enjoyable. Reading about the hide-and-seek adventures throughout the house brought a smile to our faces, and we’re especially happy the Book Nook became part of your stay.
Creating a place where people can relax, spend quality time together, and make lasting memories is exactly what we hope for. Thank you again for choosing Magnolia Manor and for taking the time to share your experience. We’d love the opportunity to welcome you back whenever your travels bring you to Valdosta. 😊
My family had so much fun here! We stayed Monday through Friday. The house is very thoughtfully set up and the host was a doll! We had a response within 5 minutes any time we messaged. The photos don't do the house justice! There is so much space! The beds are very comfortable. The in ground pool was the perfect temperature and the kids swam non stop. We had a blast at Wild Adventures and made a quick trip to Atlanta to see the Georgia Aquarium as well. There was so much to see and do, we hope to return asap! Also, we highly recommend Austin's Cattle Company, excellent steakhouse!
