Overlooking the entrance to the Memphis Zoo and the Overton Park formal gardens

The Magnolia House is considered by many to be the #1 luxury vacation rental in West Tennessee. This lovely, completely remodeled home is located in a quite, historic neighborhood overlooking the peaceful Overton Park. The setting is perfect for weekend get-aways, family reunions, vacations or just to relax and enjoy the wonderful amenities surrounding you, all within walking distance....people travel from all around to enjoy over 50 free concerts a year at the outdoor amphitheater, the Levitt Shell (where Elvis first played!), also the Memphis Zoo (ranked one of the top zoos in the United States) can be viewed from this home, the wonderful Brooks Art Museum (the largest art museum in Tennessee) is also within walking distance. The Park also offers a 9-Hole City Golf Course, entrance to the Shelby Farms Greenline for biking or walking(which is a 6.5 mile biking path and connects midtown to Shelby Farms Park), fantastic new playground and also a pond for watching ducks and fish. Do not forget your picnic basket, frisbee and a kite for a leisurely day outside!

The home is very secure with automatic gated entrance. Very safe neighborhood for walking and strolling to the Zoo, the Levitt Shell Amphitheater or the Brooks Art Museum. High speed internet is offered as well.

The newly renovated Overton Square is a few blocks away with some of the best restaurants in the City! German, Japanese, Mexican, Cajun, Italian food can all be found in this great area! We would love to recommend some of our favorites! Also, a great place to find nightlife...many bars with restaurants open late and even Lafayette's Music Room and The Zebra Lounge with a piano bar! If you are into theater, Playhouse on The Square, The new Hattiloo Theater and The Circuit Playhouse are located in this area. Also, in close proximity is the Cooper Young area, where there is another wide range of great restaurants. If you are a "foodie" or love visiting breweries, you will LOVE this area as well!

The Home is also very close to downtown where you will find the world famous Beale Street with much nightlife, Sun Studios, the well-known Peabody Hotel with their famous daily, duck parade, the Gibson Guitar Museum, the Fed-Ex Forum where many great concerts are held and the Memphis Grizzlies play, the Redbirds Baseball Stadium, and also the not to be missed newly opened Bass Pro Shop (largest Bass Pro in the United States and located in The Pyramid overlooking the great Mississippi River). One can not leave the City without sampling our world-famous barbecue. The Rendezvous and Central Barbecue are both very close!
The list goes on and on....so much to see and do in The City! This home, however, was remodeled and designed by an interior designer and is a wonderful place just to sit back, relax and enjoy its upscale amenities!
We love our city and hope that you will come and embrace all that it has to offer!

A Memphis star
This is the one of the most beautiful properties I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in. Decorated beautifully, in a beautiful neighborhood, close enough to all attractions, but I world away when it comes to accommodations. It was like staying in a modern version of Graceland. My family and I loved it.

Excellent house!
This was the beginning of a 2 week family holiday that started in Memphis and boy what a start it was! The house is amazing - everything about it was as described (I’d actually say that the pictures don’t do it justice, it’s even better in real life!) Loads of space, great location, brilliant information from Elizabeth - seriously we couldn’t have asked for more! We are a family of 4 with a 16 year old and 12 year old and even they were impressed which, anyone with teenagers will know, happens rarely!! We’d hired a car so didn’t need to Uber or anything but I’m sure it would have been fine. We spent time in Memphis and went to Graceland and all was an easy drive from the house. If you are looking for a beautiful house in Memphis then book this one - you won’t be sorry!
