This was our first visit to Jacksonville. And everything went so right! The weather was wonderful, the people friendly and helpful, and the Inn was marvelous. They have thought of everything that will make a stay there comfortable. Lots of attention to little details that make the difference between an OK experience and an Oh, My! The rooms were lovely, and the bed comfortable. All normal amenities were carefully chosen and offered. But then....they go the extra mile. The kitchen area is wonderful! Refrigeration, microwave (with popcorn to accompany the VCR library for your room viewing), plate, utensils, trays--it made our "picnic" on the front lawn so easy. The front parlour is a lovely sitting area, which enabled us to plan our day trips in comfort. There are lots of outside sitting areas, providing privacy and community. The Inn is close to downtown Jacksonville--only a short 2 block walk--and all the shops and dining. We will definitely be back. They have a plaque on the stair case...."Enter as Strangers, Leave as Friends"
It is not an idle thought, Robert & Susan made our trip a wonderful experience.

We just got back from a trip to Jacksonville where we stayed at the Magnolia Inn. We had always been hesitant to stay at a Bed & Breakfast, not wanting to share a bathroom or dining with people we don't know.
What a wonderful surprise the Magnolia Inn was, we had a wonderful room with our own bath & the the kitchen area for guests was set up with a refrigerator that you could keep leftovers or your own food in, coffee, teas,snacks, etc. and led to a wonderful balcony for outdoor eating and relaxing.
The continental breakfast had a variety of fruits, yogurts, cereal & Susan's homemade scones. It was available from 8:00 to 10:30, so you could go at your convenience!
Another of the great attractions of this Inn is that it's two blocks from downtown & easy walking distance to everything. The hosts, Robert & Susan Roos, made you feel so welcome & comfortable & were so helpful with things to see & do around the area.
They also give great AAA discounts, A wonderful experience!

There are lots of good things about the Magnolia Inn in Jacksonville, Oregon, including attentive and thoughtful hosts, private bathrooms attached to every room, and lots of small luxurious details - but one of the best features is the guest kitchen, available 24 hours a day, with a full-sized refrigerator for leftovers or other food items, a microwave and plenty of plates, bowls, mugs, and flatware to use and place in the dishwasher when done. The makings for coffee, hot chocolate, and a variety of teas is left in the kitchen at all times, and fruit, popcorn and candy are also available. This is the first time I have encountered this amenity in a bed and breakfast, and I think it is a wonderful idea. To complete the convenience, a balcony opens off the kitchen and has tables and chairs for eating outside. I have already recommended Jacksonville's Magnolia Inn to colleagues at work and would suggest that anyone visiting Jacksonville for the history or beautiful countryside strongly consider the Magnolia Inn.

You should be aware that even if you reserve a room, the innkeeper can move your reservation to another room without your consent. We reserved a really nice room with a view of a quaint church. When we arrived, we were told that we had been moved to another room, but that it was a suite, and we would not be charged for a suite, and that filling the inn was like a "jigsaw puzzle", and they fit us were they can. The room we got had an extra sitting/bedroom room, but the view was of the owner’s driveway, and the carpet was spotted and dirty. When we asked for the room we originally reserved, the innkeeper told us that it was unavailable. The reason was that someone had wanted the room for two nights, and it was easier to bump us than to move someone else from room to room during their stay, even though we had reserved the room first. The other thing that sort of bothered me is that the innkeeper was barefoot the entire time we were there, even during breakfast. I thought it a bit too casual for a business, and unprofessional. At the continental breakfast, we were left to figure out where to find silverware, and what was offered, even though he was in the room at the time. On the bright side, the grounds are very well kept, and the location superb. View Reviewer Info

| Innkeeper Response |
Thank you for your comments. We appreciate your feedback and take your views sincerely. We try our very hardest to accommodate specific room requests, however, in very rare situations, we do have to make some room adjustments for what would be the best for all concerned, and impacting guests the least. In this particular case, it would have required us to move another guest two times during their stay, which we considered a major inconvenience. In this situation, the reviewer was moved from a standard room to our suite – a definite room upgrade. The view was of the twin sister church of the one mentioned in the review. In the original room, the view was across a parking area and a street to the church. We try and contact all affected parties when this rare situation arises, and we apologize that, for whatever reason, it wasn’t done this time.
Thank you for the comments on the carpet, we were unable to completely get the soiled area clean from the previous guests ourselves, and actually had the carpet professionally cleaned the next day.
All our dining utensils and food are in the open. We would have been delighted to provide assistance, had we thought a guest was unsure of where things were. I try and make myself available during the morning to guest’s needs and conversation. We were at 100% occupancy during that week, and I’m sure we were represented in the dining area.
