Very clean and nicer than we expected! The reading area is lovely, and the room was quite spacious and well equipped. The views right outside the property are wonderful, and the town is charming and has good places for breakfast and dinner that are all walkable from the property
This was such a nice, quiet base for us as we made several day trips. The parking was convenient and easy. The room was comfortable and spacious. We got great restaurant recommendations too and had a very nice stay.
10/10 would stay here again. The house is lovely, with thoughtful touches all over the place. They really have anticipated what their guests need/want. Walkable, quiet, comfortable. Highly recommend for an enjoyable visit to this charming town.
This is a lovely lovely Inn and a fabulouse place to stay. The rooms are newly renovated, clean and beautifully appointed. The location is perfect ... within walking distance of pretty much everything in Mahone Bay. Yet still very quiet. I Highly recommend this place.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Magnolia Inn! The place was spotless, and the little extras included in our stay were a thoughtful and unexpected touch. Our room was cozy and inviting, and the bathroom felt luxurious with its spacious walk-in shower.
Craig was easygoing and a pleasure to chat with, it’s clear he and his wife have poured their hearts into this new venture. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily stay again.
We stayed in the king suite. The room was very spacious and the bathroom was even larger! The inn is very clean and the bed was comfortable. It is located in a great part of town and an easy walk to most restaurants. The inn keepers were out of town during our stay but reached out to us after our stay to see how we enjoyed their inn.
We had a beautiful stay at the Magnolia Inn. Our room was super cozy and had everything we needed. Great location!
Our stay was delayed due to some car troubles, the Inn owners Laurie and Craig were extremely helpful and understanding.
We had an amazing stay at Magnolia Inn. Craig and Laurie have done a beautiful job with preserving the charm of the house, the thought and care shows. Everything was clean and comfortable, and the decor was lovely. Thanks again to Sam as well for welcoming us and sharing some travel advice for the surrounding areas.
This place is absolutely beautiful. Sam the innkeeper welcomed us and was so friendly and helpful. The rooms are lovely. The inn is immaculate. The owners were gracious.
Amazing …the Magnolia Inn in Mahone Bay was very clean and well equipt with everything you need for your stay … the kitchenette was an added bonus …and our room came with a great outdoor seating area… I highly recommend and will def be staying again
We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful period home and the hosts were lovely and hospitable. Great location for exploring the area and peaceful and quiet. Lovely breakfasts both mornings.
The property owners were welcoming and responsive. We were greeted by a onsite staff member who checked us in and showed us to our room. We were pleased to have a unit at the back of the property. Although there was no view of the bay, this was off set by having a fireplace, small kitchenette area, and a patio area. We were very pleased with the property.
Beautiful, Spacious& CLEAN Property!
The Magnolia Inn completely exceeded our expectations. We were very satisfied with our stay and would HIGHLY recommend this property.
Wonderful accomodations and we will be booking again!
