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.

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.
