1/9/11 What a fabulous weekend! Our family, including my sister, 3 brothers and our spouses and most of our nieces, nephews, grandchildren and Mom's greatgrandchildren gathered in this great, well kept, older home, reminding us so much of the house where we grew up. It was great that there was space for everyone, especially the children. We had folks inside and out, playing games, talking, laughing, walking, cooking, eating and even occassionally napping. The house's location is great, too, with access to shopping and history and other activities, although we were content and comfortable with just "hanging out". The description of the house were accurate and the home was very clean and fairly well maintained.
We all agreed that this whole concept was ideal for our annual Christmas and Mom's birthday gathering. Libby even left some of the Christmas decorations out to add to the festive occassion. My sister and husband, the hosts of this year's event supplied the Crab Pot Christmas tree, and most of the cooking, We all enjoyed exploring the house and even the neighborhood.
There were only a couple of concerns; We had hoped to use the grill, but were a little unsure of it. We also had a little trouble locking the back door occassionally.
Thank you so much for allowing us to share your home, and working with our check-in/out times, Natalie, and we hope that in the future, we may have the opportunity to share it again. We just had a fantastic weekend and we will be able to share the memories for a long time.
It's a great place for family and friends to work, play and create memories.

Owner's Response: Dear Amelia,
Happy New Year! Thank you for your thoughtful review. I enjoyed corresponding with you, and I know that Libby enjoyed meeting you and your family! I love that you have started a new Christmas tradition beginning this year at The Magnolia House. Please come back for another gathering soon.
All the best,
Natalie
