I'm a former English teacher and International Development worker who decided to move home to start a bed and breakfast after years of working overseas. On my search for the right house, I found this neoclassical home in Magnolia that needed me almost as much as I needed it. Rather than wait years of chasing a dream of having the house in perfect condition, in May of 2021 I decided to open up as-is and share the renovation journey with my guests. And as they say, the rest is history!

Daphne, the Great Dane has been the perfect house mascot. I brought her home at 6 weeks old in April of 2020 and I couldn't imagine life without her. She isn't particularly handy when it comes to house projects, but that doesn't stop her from trying! Daphne loves having guests at the house and is pretty convinced that everyone has come just to see her.

Daphne and I live in the back portion of the house and will be here to greet guests and do everything we can to ensure they enjoy their stay.
