Description
Circa 1897. A canopy of ancient oak trees line the streets leading to the Magnolia Springs bed & breakfast. Softly framed by more oaks, and in springtime, pink azaleas, the National Register inn with its dormers and spacious wraparound porch offers an inviting welcome. Warm hospitality enfolds guests in the Great Room with its pine walls and ceilings and heart pine floors, as well as the greeting from the innkeeper. Curly pine woodwork is found throughout the home, which was originally an area hotel. Guest rooms are appointed with a variety of carefully chosen antiques. Breakfast favorites often include pecan-topped French toast, bacon, grits, fresh fruit with cream dressing and blueberry muffins. Guests may also request a special breakfast to accommodate dietary needs. The innkeepers will recommend some memorable adventures, or simply stroll to Magnolia River and enjoy the area.Publicity and Awards: Southern Living, Coastal Living, Southern Breeze, Mobile Bay Monthly, Romantic Destinations, Travel America, Atlanta Journal Constitution, Memphis Commercial Appeal, Birmingham News, Pensacola News Journal, Mobile Press Register, Montgomery Advertiser., HGTV-Bob Vila's Restore America, Alabama Public Television, Fox 10 Mobile, WPMI NBC 15 Mobile, WKRG News 5 Mobile.

Romantic Interest
 The historical laid back setting of a neighborhood nestled among canopy oak trees that line the streets in the last community that still receives it's mail year-round by boat. Both Winston Groom and Fannie Flagg have had inspiration from time spent in Magnolia Springs.
