I loved my stay at The Magnolia Inn. I felt right at home. I had no trouble feeling comfortable as the innkeepers were hospitable as could be. I can't wait to work out of town every month just so I can re-visit.

Marsha and Mike Eland were excellent hosts. We enjoyed our stay at the Magnolia Inn. My husband was working in the area for a couple of days and I could not have asked for a more relaxing two days. We both enjoyed the breakfasts very much and I loved sitting on the beautiful front porch reading. Everthing was exactly as pictured on the website. Marsha and Mike were friendly and accomodating without being intrusive. The chocolate brownies Marsha made for an afternoon treat were the best brownes I ever tasted. My husband has recommended them to many business associates that come into the area. Joe and Diane

All we can say is Wow! Our visit was Memorial Day weekend to visit 'Mom' who recently moved from NC to Chester to live with a brother. We had never stayed in a B&B before and didn't know what to expect. We loved it! The house is beautifully decorated and the rooms are so spacious. Marsha and Mike are wonderful host and we found nothing lacking except maybe our gratitude to them for opening their home to visitors. We can't say enough about their 'southern hospitality'. I could definitely get used to this kind of living!! If we could we would visit every weekend. We will definitely be back.

Visited Friday May 15 through Sunday May 17; Marsha and Mike were gracious hosts not only providing delicious AND nutritious breakfasts but insights into the surrounding community for shopping and borwsing the many historical sites. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. We had seven in our party and had the house to ourselves. The library was comfortable where we read, watched a movie, and talked until nearly 2 AM on one occasion. The Porch was airy and comfortable for reading and relaxing. Chester is a great hub for activities with a friendly population willing to ensure visitors are welcome and can find what they need. The graduation at Camden Military Academy topped off a fantastic weekend! Thanks Marsha and Mike for a great time!

My family and I (wife, two daughters ages 17 and 13) stayed in the Magnolia Inn for two nights in April 08. We couldn't have been happier with the service, comfort and value of this B and B. It was actually cheaper than the dumpy chain hotels off of the highway. The food was great, the rooms were beautiful, spacious and comfortable and the setting was gorgeous. We couldn't ask for more, and if we are ever in Chester again, we'll defiinitely be staying at the MI!

This has been one of the best visits I have ever had to a bed and breakfast. The house is monumental in terms of styling, architecture, and hospitality. Upon first glance at driving up, you don't know what to expect. As you walk up the first few stairs to the porch, you are met with a comfortable feeling by the furniture, and large spacious patio. When you first enter the house, the feeling of comfort begins to set in, and the grand hallway take you by surprise. If you are someone who enjoys looking around, you will be in for a joyous spectacle with the amount of fascinating decoration. Let's just say you won't get tired of gazing around the place. On small table resides a sign in book. To the immediate right is a stair case that walks you up to the second floor. I had the Magnolia Room which was in my opinion the "Creme de la creme". The opulent bed, and spacious room made me yearn for a house of this nature. It's clear that there was many hours spent thinking about the decorations, layout, and upgrades to this house. The food was truly amazing, top notch on many levels, and the best part, they actually asked if I had dietary restrictions. I didn't, but the fact they asked was a sign that the owners cared about their guests. I can not tell you everything about this house, but having come from Texas, I felt like a true southerner in this house, my freedom was granted to do what I wanted, and the living quarters were absolutely amazing, from the large reading room, the the den with flat screen LCD, I felt like I was living in luxury, southern style! Come visit this place, and if you need a reference, e-mail me at steadyliving at hotmail.com

Two magnificent Magnolia trees hug this 1913 classic southern home. A wrap-around porch calls for sipping tea while watching the squirrels scurry through the trees. Beautiful, thoughtfully appointed rooms- and two gracious hosts- as gracious as their inn!

The Magnolia Inn was a great local getaway for my husband's birthday. The Inn itself is magnificent. The hospitality only adds to the charm and character of the house. You will truly be pampered and made to feel right at home. The breakfast was absolutely wonderful and Mike & Marsha were glad to accomodate our diatery differences. We've been visiting NC & SC Bed & Breakfast Inns for 20 years now and the Magnolia Inn is hands down our favorite! We will most certainly return.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the Magnolia Inn. It started with the porch. There's just something about a large porch with rocking chairs and such. It just sets the mood for such an inviting, peaceful place. Everything was arranged for us with great care and there were little surprises here and there that just made it even more pleasant. To me, it felt like I were in the Gilmore Girls show!

One of the most beautiful B&Bs we have ever stayed at. Mike and Marsha were wonderful! We felt like we have known them for years and years. Our room was spacious with the most luxurious bedding. The stained glass window and chandelier in the large bathroom was wonderful! And there was even a separate reading room off our bedroom. I can't say enough about how beautiful the house was decorated! And breakfast was maple sausages and french toast with fruit and candlelight! Just perfect! We will definitely come back and next time stay two days! Very, very restful experience!

We just spent four wonderfull days at the Magnolia Inn! The rooms were great with wonderful antiques, food was excellent and the hospitality was outstanding. Mike and Marsha went out of their way to make sure it was a wonderful experience. They provided us with Mapquest directions and they graciously offered the veranda for our family to meet on Sunday morning before we all left to go our separate ways.
