The guest unit of Magnolia Manor worked out fine for my husband who was traveling alone for a conference in the area. However, there were some downsides, it is directly connected to the other house, which we were aware of, but there was a beeping that was audible in the unit from the main house that lasted the entire time my husband stayed. We did contact the owner, but the issue was not resolved while he was there and he did say it made it hard to fall asleep at night. There was no one staying in the main house at the time he was there, but he did feel like it would have been very loud if there were people in the main unit.
We've stayed here several times. The Tiny Getaway is consistently clean and comfortable and the location is located right in the lovely Belhaven district. It's the first place we look at each time we visit Jackson.
Guest house is perfect size. Full kitchen needs and large bathroom. Bed is very comfortable. Great location for visit Belhaven, Millsaps or Jackson State. Easy access to the freeway. Second time to stay here and will again.
This was a perfect place for two of my family members to stay while providing home cooked meals to the friends that I hosted in the main house. Check in was very easy with detailed instruction provided. We will definitely book this space again whenever we book the main house.
The property was clean and easily located. Very private but close to everything. The water get hot and the toliet flushes properly. The bed was comfortable, the AC was cold. Plenty of space, 2 walk-in closets with built in drawers. plenty of towels. Communication was top notch. Highly recommend
We rented the whole house for our daughter's graduation weekend, so that we could all stay together for the event. There were 10 of us who stayed at the house and we had plenty of room to spread out and hot water to shower with. We ate breakfasts and lunches at the house and we ate our dinners out. It was nice to visit with our families and enjoy the ceremony with everyone.
Location was good considering we were close to the MS Civil Rights/MS History Museums, Capitol building and Whole Foods store. Great shower. Washer & dryer with laundry soap and dryer sheets were very much appreciated.Appliances worked well. More silverware and larger skillets would have been appreciated.Toilet continued to run.Parking was a nightmare due to being blocked in by up to 5 other vehicles using the same parking area. We parked where we were instructed to park.Large group of loud young men in adjoining unit partying into the night/early morning. Door separating units, with foam, isn't adequate sound insulation. The couch was broken down and very uncomfortable.The bed was absolutely one of the WORST beds we've ever slept in. We had to move the mattress onto the floor so that we could sleep. Bottom line is we will not stay here again.
We are sorry to say that our stay was not as we had hoped for. Everything looked much more clean and fresh on the add pictures than in reality. On top we found a dead frog in the windowsill behind the bed and a cockroach walking out of the bathroom. The R&B is big and has great potential but needs TLC and a refreshment, repair of damaged
Pros: Very cute little above-the-garage style guest suite, great bathroom, nice kitchenette, great space. Air mattress was easy to find and use, clean and welcoming space.
Cons: Very loud small air conditioner (but effective), ants coming in around window area, bath took a very very very long time to warm up (but that was noted in the brochure/instructions)
Suggestions: Stock the many empty book shelves with some games and or books from a thrift store, it would be fun to have something to do with the family at a cute stop like this. Instructions on how to use the complex shower and including laundry detergent would also be a great addition.
My weekend was stressful in all aspects imaginable trying to move in 2 college students in 2 different states within a 24-48 hour window.
The only thing not stressful was staying at this property. I had multiple travel changes that were at times touch and go in less than an hour on a few occasions. The property manager was extremely understanding during such an uncertain and emotional time. Their flexibility with my ever-changing schedule was a Godsend and relieved so much stress. The house was everything and more. We did not want or need for anything that wasn't already readily available in the home. The shower in the "hotel" is to die for! I will definitely recommend to my friends and book again in the future!
We arrived any driving down a overgrown, broken up, pothole ally way. We get upstairs and there is a 13" step up to get into the guesthouse. Once in the guesthouse we noticed that the curtains were tied up into a knot. The window unit a/c unit was hanging in there with a big gap opened to the outside where air and bug could come in. The AC unit was covered with dust and dirt & the filter was full of brown dirt. The sofa was dirty, floor was nasty. Bathtub had the last persons wash towel in it. Reported it to owner and she responded about 40 mins later with thanks for the pictures, our cleaning lady cleaned the Guesthouse today. Finally she refunded the cleaning charge back. I had reported it and forwarded the same photos to VRBO about that premier host guesthouse.
This was a nightmare
We stayed here for a couple of nights during our road trip of the deep south. Unfortunately, it was disappointing overall. The accommodation was unclean and late on our second night we spotted a cockroach scuttling across the floor. The owners, however, were attentive - we were unable to gain access to the property and after realising that we were not at the main house as they originally thought, helped us to gain access to the annexe. There were no further issues with accessing the property during our stay. If we had been staying longer, i would have made more of the fact that the place was grubby but after a long drive to get there and then out all of the following day (didn't really want cleaners in there who we didn't know whilst we were out) checking out the day after, I did flag this with the owner who I hope raised this with their cleaning company and rectified this. I understand that if you are paying for a service, you want it carried out without having to keep checking, but sometimes the service is not carried out to a satisfactory standard (or at all). However, as mentioned, the owners were excellent with their response times to any issues and if the cleaning issue is sorted, this accommodation is well placed for sightseeing.
The stay was very peaceful and the house was tucked away but close to a lot of food and activities to do. Perfect place you and another person to have quality time together
