We came to Lexington so our son could attend a VMI open house. Instead of staying in a hotel we opted for a bed and breakfast. The Magnolia House was great. Very close to campus but still a quiet and peaceful setting. We stayed in the Equestrian Suite which had plenty of room for the three of us. Staff very... More

We bid on a night in this hotel through a charity auction. The place was lovely, and the room very comfortable. Lexington is a great place to walk around. Breakfast was delicious. More

We had a room upstairs by the balcony. The room (Graden) was great though the bathroom was tight. But we were on the balcony all the time, like our own private balcony; OK, maybe we hogged it. The communal fridge in the hall was well stocked. Breakfast was excellent, though maybe the host was little uptight about being on-time. More

Just got back from a weekend trip to Lexington. Like many of the reviews we found the home very clean, and quaint. Tim was very helpful with information and the location is located on the main street and was only 3 to 4 blocks from the heart of downtown. We walked to several of the restaurants located in the downtown... More

This was our first stay at the Magnolia House. It was quaint, historic and beautiful. It was very clean. Beds were quite comfortable. The A/C dealt with the muggy heat quite well. Our rooms were well-maintained, albeit a bit dark, however, this is typical of old houses. Breakfast was a very large portion and over-the-top with taste. The 'hospitality' amenity... More

While in Lexington for the Shenandoah Arabians Classic at the Virginia Horse Center, we stayed 3 nights in this quiet, lovingly restored home currently owned by hosts Tim and Jan Decker. The 80-year old magnolia in front is surrounded by intimate garden areas. Parking is on the street less than 50 ft from the entrance, so unloading your car is... More

We just got back from the Magnolia House Inn and the hosts were absolutely extraordinary. The service provided was over the top and during our stay. We had some things we needed to tend to while in town and their accomodation was so helpful which our family sincerely appreciated. We look forward to the next visit. More

We stay in B&B's as much as possible whenever we travel, some better than others. We were certainly not disappointed by the Magnolia House. It's located in a nice quiet area of town, but within easy walking distance of everything. The Magnolia House itself is very charming and peaceful. Even though our room was one of the smallest (the Sunshine... More

My wife and I have a lovely overnighter with hosts Tim and Jan. The low occupancy for that night allowed the four of us to have a very nice chat at breakfast, talking about the house, family, the town and a little of our personal histories. SO nice to enjoy a room without a television! The cozy room has the... More
