Gastenunit van Magnolia Manor: The Tiny Getaway

We stayed here for a couple of nights during our road trip of the deep south. Unfortunately, it was disappointing overall. The accommodation was unclean and late on our second night we spotted a cockroach scuttling across the floor. The owners, however, were attentive - we were unable to gain access to the property and after realising that we were not at the main house as they originally thought, helped us to gain access to the annexe. There were no further issues with accessing the property during our stay. If we had been staying longer, i would have made more of the fact that the place was grubby but after a long drive to get there and then out all of the following day (didn't really want cleaners in there who we didn't know whilst we were out) checking out the day after, I did flag this with the owner who I hope raised this with their cleaning company and rectified this. I understand that if you are paying for a service, you want it carried out without having to keep checking, but sometimes the service is not carried out to a satisfactory standard (or at all). However, as mentioned, the owners were excellent with their response times to any issues and if the cleaning issue is sorted, this accommodation is well placed for sightseeing.

The little guest suite is charming; in the Belhaven area, which is delightful and close to everything in Jackson; easy highway access. I communicated primarily with Jo, who was wonderful and very responsive. Since I got in late at night, and left very early, I came in when it was dark, and had trouble with the keypad and lockbox; they are taking care of that, but that is why it had a 3 rating. Also, the directions were confusing to me. The little guest house is to the left as you are facing the front of the property; if you are in the back parking area off the alley, the guest house is to the right; up the black iron steps. The room was spacious; lots of drawers and closet space. It was basically very well-maintained, safe, and cozy.

Perfect place, minutes from the Coliseum where my granddaughter has her graduation. Close to everything and quiet. Would book again.
