VERY IMPORTANT: If you're not staying for only quiet enjoyment, ANY type of event, activity, or festival must be fully disclosed and approved before booking with a possible additional charge.

Enjoy the largest vacation rental in downtown Jackson! Magnolia Manor has a lot of mid-century charm in a historic neighborhood. It has hosted guests like TV network A&E to film a documentary. The Mississippi Museum of Art booked it to display a renowned artist's work, Jeffrey Gibson, for a private exhibit. Others used it for weddings, cocktail parties, and quiet enjoyment.

Magnolia Manor is one of the older houses in Jackson with a dose of modern flair. It's located downtown. But! It's also literally around the corner from Interstate 55 for easy access.

Built during the Great Depression, the property has seen many high and low days. Originally constructed as a one-room house, it has undergone at least four add-ons throughout its life. In two-thousand-fifteen, the bank foreclosed on the house. Due to major foundation issues, the bank had difficulty finding any buyers to restore it to its previous glory days. Magnolia Manor remained completely vacant for nearly two years. We took the project upon ourselves to buy the property and revitalize it. After six months of intensive work and depleting a large budget, we are thrilled to share Magnolia Manor with you and many others since two-thousand-eighteen.

The property has a Guest Unit. The unit shares a small wall with one of the bedrooms of this listing. If you have not booked the Guest Unit in conjunction with this listing, you may hear slight noises from the neighbors in this bedroom, but nothing that should impact your stay or sleep. You can book the Guest Unit here https://www.homeaway.com/vacation-rental/p7411386

INDOOR FIREPLACE IS NON-FUNCTIONAL

PARKING: The parking situation in the driveway can be a little tricky. You go down a relatively short, narrow private road to get to the driveway. If you have a large vehicle, like a caravan, or more than two cars, you can either park on the street in front of the house or at the Sports Medicine Center parking lot across Fortification St. PLEASE DON’T BLOCK THE DRIVEWAY as to give way to others.

Note: For safety, there is video surveillance around the outside of the house. This is not a reflection of the area. It's a great and safe neighborhood.

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.

Timeless Charm
Magnolia Manor and it’s adjoining apt was the perfect Oasis for our team of 10. The location was great. Bedrooms and Bathrooms were clean and supplies were furnished for our needs, even mints next to our beds. Communication was very timely and helpful throughout the full 2 weeks. Will definitely Book again! Thanks Jo and Ashley

Family Weekend
We flew in for a family weekend and the house did not disappoint. The layout of the house was great for our group. From the linens to the kitchen, everything was well stocked and then some. The communication with Ashley was great. We had a wonderful stay.

Great location/lots of room
We were in Jackson for a graduation with family. This was the perfect place with lots of room and great location to everything. The back deck was a great place to relax and grill. The bedrooms were big and comfortable. We will definitely stay again when visiting Jackson. Brad and Jo were very responsive and helpful with our stay. I had to change dates and that was no problem at all.

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!
