About this property

Huge Historic 4BR House w/ Patio, sleeps 12

Situated in Jackson’s iconic Belhaven Historic District, this 4-bed Colonial-style house, built during the Great Depression, is a true gem set on a sprawling 1-acre lot.
Imagine yourself in the private back garden, featuring an expansive patio deck and a vast, lush grassy lawn that offers an incredible sense of space and freedom.
The interior is just as impressive, boasting 3100 sq. ft. of newly renovated space filled with brand new furnishings, a cutting-edge smart HDTV, and high-speed Wi-Fi!

Get ready for the pinnacle of southern hospitality at Magnolia Manor – a luxurious 2-story house set atop one of the largest lots in the neighborhood, where the refined open-concept interior, towering ceilings, and vintage style aesthetic immediately commands your attention.

A stay with us means joining an illustrious alumni of guests, including the TV network A&E, which filmed a documentary here, and the Mississippi Museum of Art, having showcased a private exhibit for the renowned artist Jeffrey Gibson's paintings.

Our home has also been the sought-after choice for numerous events, from dazzling cocktail parties to wedding celebrations.

Every inch of this space has been infused with modern appeal while preserving its historic roots, creating a unique atmosphere that simply cannot be recreated.

Allow yourself to sink into plush furnishings, set up memorable dinners on the rustic 8 seater dining table under the gleaming chandelier, or step out onto the patio deck to get a breath of fresh air in the dappled sunlight.

After you've tucked your luggage away and settled in, it's time to relax and celebrate. Soak up the charming allure of the historic surroundings, partake in fun activities, and utilize our home amenities.

✓ Start your day off with a steaming cup of joe made from our complementary coffee maker before taking a stroll through Belhaven University (~10-minute walk).

✓ Enjoy a walk, hike or cycle through the Belhaven Mountain Bike Trails – where you will encounter scenic views of Belhaven Creek and Moody Branch Creek, as well as an abundance of local flora and fauna, all accessible from the Museum Trail which connects to the Mississippi Children's Museum (4-minute drive).

✓ Eat your meals alfresco on the back patio deck, features an outdoor dining table with seating for 4, perfect for enjoying meals in the open air.

✓ Grab a bowl of popcorn and watch your favorite flick on the smart HDTV by logging into your preferred streaming services.

✓ Catch a game at the Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium and witness the electrifying games as you cheer on the Jackson State Tigers (~7-minute drive).

Magnolia Manor

Even though it implied a deep historical connection. The place was old and lacked the upkeep to have a clean healthy experience. It was very dusty and drafty The grounds were unkept grass needed mowing hedges and trees needed trimming. The entrance is down an unpaved alley with overgrown landscape. The picture is not an accurate description of the actual property. The host was unreachable when needed to provide information on issues that arose.

Terrible

There is nothing about this property that was described online that was accurate. There was a door with a note/lock between us and another group of family!!!! A bar of used soap was in the upstairs shower! The trash was completely full upon arrival and had bugs all around it. Not worth the daily rate. The DECK looked beautiful on the photos so we planned to eat outside—the weeds were grown up so much and the deck did not look safe.

Magnolia Manor is a beautiful home. We rented it for my son’s wedding. Plenty of room for our family plus his groomsmen stayed one night and got dressed for the wedding at the house. It was close to the church and to the reception venue. Uber was easy transportation. Definitely would stay here again.

Not pleasant

The property itself was fine. It fit my family for my wedding weekend. The floors hadn’t been thoroughly cleaned in some rooms, but it wasn’t unbearable. The main issue was communication with the hosts. They tried to charge me extra when I told them I may have 12 guests stay (which is the max occupancy), but I wasn’t sure. Ended up only being 6. There were 2 guests staying in the guest suite, who you share a carport and some walls with, who we believe were smoking (not cigarettes) inside despite it being a no smoking rental and also had specific instructions that illegal drugs were not allowed. Our entire upstairs reeked every night as soon as the heat came on and did not dissipate easily. We were told vents were not shared, but we smelled it. It was so bad constantly, I had to keep all of my hanging clothes in my car and my suitcase closed downstairs. When I told the host after we left (chose not to before since we shared a carport), they told us the other guests claimed they were burning incense, but that was not the smell we had. There also weren’t any lightbulbs in the foyer or working lights on the porch, but some cars had to be on the street since the guests in the guest suite had the 2nd spot in the carport. People parking on the street had to find their way in in the dark. Not very safe.. Overall, we won’t be returning or staying anywhere these hosts are involved with.

Great homebase for a large group

This is the place! It was lovely. I stayed here with my husband and his extended family to attend a graduation ceremony. This was the ideal place for our large group to stay together and enjoy our time in Jackson, MS. The house is historic and large enough for us to spread out and get plenty of breathing room - they don't make 'em like this anymore! I especially enjoyed sipping my morning coffee on the deck and watching all of the red cardinals flitting about. We were able to cook onsite and enjoyed being central to much of what Jackson has to offer. Our hosts, Jo and Brad, were very communicative and accommodating. They answered our questions in the weeks leading up to our stay. They were great VRBO hosts! Stop scrolling, this is the spot!

It was exactly as described and did not disappoint. The hosts were great! They were quick with replying and super communicators. It had plenty of room and space for everyone-would be perfect for a larger party as well. We definitely enjoyed our time there. It was comfy and cozy.

No complaints here!

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!

Great Location

We rented the house, along with the guest unit, to attend our daughter's graduation at Belhaven University. We had 10 people that stayed in the house. We were never crowded and we had plenty of hot water to shower with throughout the weekend. the house was built during the Great Depression and it showed it's age in that the floor was uneven, but it is filled with charm. I would stay in this house again, if we are ever in the area.
