We booked the entire inn for our wedding weekend and it was beyond our wildest dreams. Jordan and Tom made us feel like family. Chef Tom’s breakfast alone was worth the trip. The attention to every detail — from the flowers to the room decor — was extraordinary.
The Magnolia Inn is a hidden gem. From the moment we walked through the door, we felt the warmth and intentionality behind every design choice. The rooms are spotless, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. We’re already planning our return trip.
Our anniversary weekend at the Magnolia Inn was perfection. The Magnolia Suite has stunning views of the gardens, and waking up to Chef Tom’s gourmet breakfast made us feel like royalty. Jordan’s hospitality is genuine and thoughtful — she remembers every detail.
