Found getting around outside at night was challenging...needs more ground lighting along pathways. No matches (at least in Nutmeg) yet there were many tea cup candles. These are really only minor things however...we found the accommodations very charming, comfortable and exceptionally well maintained. more

The Magnolia Inn is a wonderful place to stay. It is beautiful and set in a warm, inviting and peaceful part of Gainesville. The different cottages allow for a varied experience depending which one your choose. One thing you can always count on is a friendly welcome from the innkeepers, Joe and Cindy, and their assistant, Blair. Every time we... more

Great place to stay if you are in Gainesville. We are HUGE travelers & are picky about where we choose to stay. We rented 3 cottages- Jessica's, Beth's & the Carriage House.

My mother-in-law particularly enjoyed the main house which was decorated for the season. Since the... more
