Magnolia House

My husband and I just returned home from a wonderful stay at the Magnolia House. Our visit could not have been better. The accomodations were immaculate and comfortable. The sheets were heavenly!!! From the lavendar bubble bath to a supply of drinks, coffee, tea and wine in the room made the stay even better. The breakfasts were OUTSTANDING!! I purchased the cookbook and hope to replicate the dishes that we had. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting with the other guests and found we all had lots in common. We heard we had some storm damage to our home while we were gone and arrived to a sweet e-mail from Lisa wishing us well. We highly recommend the Magnolia House.

We lucked out on our first outing to Fredericksburg, Tx. By chance, I booked two rooms for my husband and myself and our dear friends from New Jersey at the Magnolia House. We were all more than pleased to meet Lisa and Claude and view our beautiful, spacious rooms. The warm decor, immaculate bathrooms and beautiful garden were more than we could have hoped for. Claude's gormet cookies and breakfasts were truly a treat. If you are planning a trip to Fredericksburg in the future, I stronly suggest that you stay at the Magnolia House. You will not be disappointed. We hope to go back soon.

A great B &B with a real comforable relaxing environment. We have stayed there 3 tims and will hopefully vist there many more times in the future.

We are teachers and wanted a place to get away. Perfect for this. We loved sitting around the koi pond and watching movies at night in our suite. Lots of fun!

We had a wonderful experience during our stay at the Magnolia House! The breakfasts are the best and Claude and Lisa did everything they could to make our stay there perfect. We will definitely be back for another stay and will recommend it to everyone we know!!! Larry & Andrea Norris

This was our first stay at a B&B....and we loved it!! Some of the other guest that we met were return guest there and always stayed at this same place because of the location....off the main street....so very quiet...and peaceful....the rooms are beautiful....the beds and linens awesome! And the Innkeepers Claude and Lisa are just the greatest.....so helpful and nice...I would stay here again.....I am thinking for our first stay at a B&B....we got lucky!!

My husband and I stayed 2 nights in the Bluebonnet Suite! We had a wonderful time. It was very relaxing and the food was terrific. Claude and Lisa were very friendly and answered all our questions about Fredericksburg. We would stay again!

The Magnolia House is truly home away from home! Claude & Lisa made our stay so enjoyable. The gourmet breakfast was absolutely delicious. We enjoyed sitting out by the Koi Pond having our cheese & wine. The Magnolia House is located in a quiet neighborhood not far the Main Street action. The beds were so comfy!!!!! You have to try the Magnolia House when you visit Fredericksburg, I know we ladies will definetly be back!!!!

The Magnolia House is unparalleled in quality, attention to detail, value, cleanliness and service. Lisa and Claude are gracious hosts and they made us feel like we were visiting old friends, instead of paying guests. A few friends and myself were on a one day shopping trip in Fredericksburg and decided to stay at this B & B due to the excellent ratings. This B & B lives up to those ratings and then some! There is nothing Lisa and Claude have not thought of. When you think of Southern charm and hospitality...you will think of the Magnolia House after your stay. Claude's culinary skills are amazing and you can tell he loves what he does. Each dish was beautifully plated on pretty china, delicious and served in the beautiful dining room. The common areas are equally impressive and the property is very nice. Much to our surprise on this Thursday, we had the whole B & B to ourselves. We checked out every room for future stays and each one was charming and cozy. The Bluebonnet and Magnolia Suites are the true epitome of Southern Charm. The sheets are something to experience and you will want a set for your very own. The afternoon home made cookies, wine, sodas and soft music playing in the living room is just a sample of what this B & B has to offer their guests for a wonderful experience. I would not hesitate to stay there again and would recommend it to everyone. Go visit Lisa and Claude's beautiful home and all it has to offer. We are already planning another trip.

The entire B&B is so warm and professionally decorated. The host and Hostess are so delightful and they provide a wonderful breakfast. Never stayed in a place so clean.

We come in each year and enjoy Fredericksburg but we LOVE the hospitality of Claude and Lisa who own the Magnolia House. PERFECT accommodations,food,drink,laughter and feeling safe. We will NEVER stay anywhere else:) EVER!!! Susan and Eli

Being a road warrior, I am used to staying in sterile, chain hotels so the Magnolia House was a special treat while in Fredericksburg on business. What a special place! Calude and Lisa were fantastic hosts and made my stay special. I loved the coffee bar set-up in the dining room so that I could indulge my coffee habit at will and my room was spacious and accomodating to the business traveler as well as tourist. I would highly recommend the Magnolia House to anyone visiting Fredericksburg for any reason!

This was our first visit to Fredricksburg and we would could not have picked a lovelier place to stay. Lisa and Claude were so helpful and accommodating...the food was spectacular! (Thank you Claude!) And Lisa made sure every detail was taken care of. We felt like family!

Lisa greeted us and made us feel like old friends. We loved our room and the whole house - we felt very comfortable. Claude made an outstanding breakfast both mornings of our visit. We had a sit down meal with the other guests at nine each morning. We will definitely return.

We just returned from our weekend at the Magnolia House and it was wonderful! Lisa and Claude were very gracious. We loved out room which was lovely and our breakfast each morning a treat. We would and will return for another visit and recommend it to everyone.

We enjoyed our stay at the Magnolia House and highly recommend it. Our room was very clean and the breakfast delicious.

Wonderful shower in the bathroom with a bench, it was a little high though.

My friends and I take a two day Christmas trip every year and stay in a bed and breakfast. The Magnolia House was by far the most comfortable, and every need was met. The two course breakfast was absolutely wonderful. The sheets were the most luxurious I have ever slept on! I highly recommend the Magnolia House. Sharon

The home was beautiful. We very much enjoyed our room (Peach Blossom), and especially the bath tub, which was so nice it made us run late for check-out time! :-) The innkeepers were fantastic from start to finish. Making reservations was easy, and I really appreciated them letting me make them by phone. I received several reminders of my stay. We were warmly greeted upon arrival and shown the house and our room. Huge perks like the use of a refrigerator, free wine for the taking, and if we had forgotten something (razor, toothbrush, etc), they had those complimentary. The breakfast was FANTASTIC. The service was outstanding. We will certainly be back for another stay. I would (and already have done so) recommend this B&B to anyone I know. Have I said fantastic? I have? Good, it's worth repeating!

Claude and Lisa are a team and make sure you are taking care of in many ways. The home is very clean and nice. They have fresh baked cookies and coffee in the evening. Other beverages are available for the guest anytime during the day. The comfy sheets are the best I have ever slept on. They can be purchased through Lisa. Claude's breakfasts are Oh My are out of this world. Several sitting rooms for you to relax with movies, books and music. The grounds are fun. Sitting areas for you to enjoy your coffee that is freshly prepared for you in mornings. Calude and Lisa go the extra mile to help you feel right at home.

The hosts seem to have thought of everything - luxurious sheets and towels, bathrobes, game collection, DVD collection. There were freshly baked evening cookies, and the breakfast was scrumptious - unusual flavors such as lemon pancakes, eggnog French toast, poached pears, blackberries...we were blown away. When we asked about a restaurant in Marble Falls, they found a quiet, reasonably-priced Italian place that was perfect for meeting a friend. Highly recommended!

The accommodations, food and hosts were outstanding, a wonderfull experience.

My wife and I have been to Fredricksburg many times, but have not found a house more welcoming and comforting than the Magnolia House. This was our second stay there. Claude and Lisa always make sure that all of our needs are taken care of! I would highly encourage any visitors to book a stay there!

The stay at Magnolia House was part of a birthday celebration. The weather was perfect which gave us the opportunity to have a glass of wine in the evening outside by the gold fish pond. The room was larger than expected and the bed was quite comfortable. Both of the breakfasts were outstanding. We enjoyed sharing conversation with several of the other guests during both breakfasts.

We had a wonderful time our host was most greatest and the food was excellent and the rooms were great. I would recommend that any try it you will love it. Claude and Lisa were great to us. Enjoy and relax.

Lisa and I were so pleased with our stay at the Magnolia House that we are anxiously looking forward to our next opportunity to visit. They are so excellent and we're telling everyone we know that they must visit this wonderful B&B if they're ever in delightful Fredericksburg. Thank you! - Ed

This was our first time at a Bed and Breakfast. We couldn't have been more please with our stay. We were pleasantly surprised with their breakfast, it was like having a personal chef. Claude was truly amazing with his cooking skills. Claude and Lisa were great. The Magnolia house is very roomy and the out door space is very nice. We will be back! I highly recommend it to everyone. You will not be dissappointed.

Our most recent trip to Magnolia House was a family event to celebrate my Dad's 80th birthday. My husband and I had stayed there before, but my Mom, Dad and sister had not been there. They had heard us rave about it, and agreed that it absolutely lived up to our gushing. The rooms are great, and Claude and Lisa have taken care of every detail. Claude's breakfasts are exceptional, with amazing choices that make each day very special. If you're ever going to Fredericksburg, you MUST stay at Magnolia House!

This is our favorite B&B in Fredericksburg. This was our 5th stay and was just as superb as our first. The hosts are incredibly warm and friendly and go out of there way to make you feel at home.

Thank you for the stellar hospitality. The house is beautiful, the surrounds lovely (despite the drought) and a very nice quiet neighbourhood made for great sleeping - not to mention those incredibly comfortable sheets. If it wasn't so darn hot I'm sure we would have enjoyed many a walk around the neighbourhood or down to Main Street but given the 100+ temps we opted for the air-conditioned car most days. Breakfasts were great, I wish I could have finished them!

The Magnolia House was a perfect bed and breakfast for my fiance and I. It felt like home away from home. Claude and Lisa were very nice and helpful! The sheets were amazing and so was the 2 course breakfast. I highly recommend this bed and breakfast!

Enjoyed the initial tour and explanation of the Magnolia House. Innkeepers pleasant. Quiet location, beautiful outdoor swing, which we enjoyed with a glass of wine, provided by the Inn. We would stay here again.

This was our first B&B, but if all of them are like this, we are definitely doing this again. It is more expensive than a hotel room, but the beautifully decorated cozy feeling room and quaint old home charm make it seem worth it. Claude and Lisa were very gracious hosts and tried to make us feel right at home (literally). Claude is an amazing cook, so breakfast was beyond our hopes. Even though we want to try other B&Bs, we will more than likely be going back to Magnolia House again as well, only this time we will stay longer.

My wife and I stayed in the bluebonnet suite. We loved it! Claude and Lisa were excellent hosts and breakfast was awesome and very filling (we only needed to snack before dinner)! The location is a little far to walk to Main St for shopping but it's a short car ride or perfect bike riding distance. They also provide refreshments like wine and cokes, coffee and tea for you to grab during the day (or night). We would definitely stay at Magnolia House again and will recommend it to friends.

The Magnolia House was a wonderful two days of elegance and peaceful rest. The Bluebonnet Suite was tastefully decorated, with wonderful bedding , totally private, quite and peaceful surroundings. We have stayed in many B&Bs, but this one will be the only one we stay at in Fredricksburg from now on. The Innkeepers were delightful. The gardens were pristine with lovely spots throughout for just sitting and enjoying the flowers, water pond, fountains, koi fish, shade trees....If you must connect your dread computer - they have internet connection but if you need rest this is the spot. The afternoon handmade snacks and beverages were a surprise as were the delicious breakfasts. The Innkeepers thought of all the details from lavendar bath salts to jars of chocolates in the rooms. The libraries both books, dvds, cd's and magazine/newspapers were lavish compared to some B&B's. The complimentary wine caraf of delicious wine was a special treat. We highly recommend this delightful inn.

We stayed three nights at the Magnolia House, starting Sunday May 29, 2011. Since this was our second stay in 13 months, we decided to try a different Suite - the Magnolia Suite. This Suite was terrific for entertaining old friends from nearby Hunt, TX. Lisa & Claude are truly the consummate Innkeepers. Suzanne & Ed - Richardson, TX.

Quiet, relaxful get-a-way. Very clean and stylish rooms. The breakfast was outstanding. Very gracious hosts.

I recently stayed at the Magnolia House Bed and Breakfast while I was in Fredericksburg on a Girls Weekend Away with two friends. Our visit and stay could not possibly have been better. Claude and Lisa are the most charming hosts and we felt so welcomed in this lovely home. They have not missed a single detail in making the Magnolia House the best Bed and Breakfast that I have ever stayed in. The linens on the bed are divine - I didn't want to come home to the ones on my bed! There are wonderful robes provided in the rooms. All rooms have a television with a DVD player and Claude and Lisa have a closet full of DVD's from which to chose. The bathrooms have every amenity needed, including a hair dryer. Claude and Lisa leave wine, sodas and water in a refrigerator for guests to take, at no additional charge. And at 3 pm every day a wonderful treat appears. We had brownies and cookies and they were so yummy. The breakfast is beyond outstanding. There is a beautiful first course of fruit and a pastry followed by the main course. The two days that we were there the breakfasts had a delicious egg dish, pancakes and sausage one day and a spinach, mushroom casserole, french toast and local ham the next day. We go to Fredericksburg frequently and from now on our stay will always be at the Magnolia House. Next time my husband and I will take our bicycles to ride the beautiful Texas Hill Country and they can be safely placed in the garage at the Magnolia House. Every moment of our stay here was absolutely fantastic!

The Magnolia House provides the extras that make this bed and breakfast a cut above the rest. It starts with the cookies and continues with the extras especially with the robes and bathroom accessories. The room was perfect very clean with a comfortable bed and furnished just right. You feel like home there and Lisa and Claude are there if you need them for anything. The breakfast is simply the best Claude can cook with the best of them. We will return again and again.

We had never stayed at a Bed And Breakfast but after this fabulous experience at the Magnolia House will do so again. The accomodations, location, food were all exceptional!!

This was our second visit since our honeymoon in 1995. The new owners, Claude & Lisa, have really done some outstanding changes to all aspects of what a B&B is suppose to be all about. The grounds are beautiful to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. The gorgeous interior is very welcoming and has a good spirit. The owners are very pleasing and are on top of everything to the smallest detail. Wow, the breakfast is absolutely wonderful and they even have a book of recipes available. Too bad we only had a few days stay. Will be back as soon as possible. Highly, highly recommend this B&B. It's the Best!

It was awesome! I really felt at home and the owners were wonderful. If I am back in town I would stay again! Outstanding

Innkeepers Claude and Lisa make your stay as comfortable as humanely possible with high quality linens and towels, wine and snacks available in the afternoon, a delicious, gourmet breakfast, and a friendly atmosphere. The house is lovely and large.

Claude and Lisa are wonderful hosts. They have thought of everything you might need and have prepared for it. They are knowledgeable about the area, the restaurants and festivals in the area. We stayed July 4 weekend and went to a local winery they recommended and enjoyed the best fireworks! This trip we were there to see bluebonnets and there were none, but they had information on many other things going on in the area. Claude's cooking is amazing! There is something for everyone and it all ties in so nicely together to complete the breakfast. They are lovely people, so friendly and want you to enjoy your stay with them as well as your stay in the area. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The patio is so peaceful. The home is comfortable and there is plenty of room. Don't pass this one up! Stay here if you are in the Fredericksburg area!

I went up to Fredericksburg for a long weekend and booked Magnolia House based on reviews I found online. Lisa and Claude run a great B&B, and Claude's food is great. Everything he made tasted wonderful and there was a lot of it! I only had to eat 2 meals a day, since breakfast was so filling. The suite I stayed in was large and so pretty, but the walls are pretty thin, so if your neighbor is snoring loud, you will hear it! I would definitely come back here on my next trip.

This is was our second trip to Magnoila House Bed & Breakfast and it was just as perfect as the first trip. We felt peaceful and relaxed from the moment we got there until the moment we left. The gourmet breakfasts were awesome. We can't wait to return next year for a couple of more nights of sleep on the best sheets ever!!

Claude and Lisa were so gracious and hospitable and have the perfect little bed and breakfast! I would recommend staying here to anyone! The rooms were so cute and clean, the service was impeccable, and the food was delicious! It had everything you could possibly want in a bed and breakfast!

Claude and Lisa, the Inn Keepers have this down! We have stayed there many times. We love their wonderful breakfasts and the interactions with the other guests. The house is a lovely historical place and beautifully decorated. We feel like we have made friends with Claude and Lisa and always look forward to staying at the Magnolia Bed and Breakfast in Fredericksburg! We love the Magnolia room but we have stayed in the others as well and they are fabulous. The sheets are heaven! Cookies in the evening, what more could you ask for?!!!

We had a wonderful stay in the former master bedroom. The house and grounds are beautiful and peaceful. The food was terrific and the host we met (Lisa) was very helpful and charming.

We've stayed at many b&b's through the years and have generally loved every one of them. In addition to the beautiful room, fantastic food, cleanliness, etc., what made this one particularly outstanding was the friendliness and the helpfulness of the owners: they gave us ideas for where to eat, what to do, etc., and were so responsive to little details about us, such as noticing that I like several cups of coffee early in the morning with lots of half and half, both of which they provided generously! We would definitely stay there again!

You will love the gourmet breakfast, heavenly sheets and quaint but warm atmosphere! My mom and I will never stay anywhere else!! Claude and Lisa make you feel so welcome and special the minute you arrive!!!

We stayed 2 nights at Magnolia House. From the gourmet breakfasts in the morning to the silky sheets at bedtime, we had a wonderful experience. We highly recommend the Bluebonnet Suite at Magnolia House!

Magnolia House was by far the best experience I've ever had at a B&B. First, it was a lovely, and lovingly cared for, old home. Lisa and Claude are in the right business as they made me and my sister feel so welcome, comfortable and "at home". Lisa gave the welcoming tour and Claude did the cooking. His breakfasts rival anything you will find in any of the "finer" restaurants or Hotels anywhere. They were beautiful, delicious, interesting and unique. Every afternoon, there would be goodies on the buffet in the form of brownies, lemon-ginger cookies or chocolate chip-oatmeal cookies. Coffee and tea were always available. Our room was lovely and charming, not to mention comfortable. And the sheets were the softest I have ever felt. I will visit there again one day and will recommend Magnolia House to everyone looking for a lovely, quiet and charming place to go for a get-away.

This was our first experience with a Bed and Breakfast and what a great one we chose! From the hospitality when we walked in, to the amazing rooms, to the little amenities and topped off with an excellent and delicious breakfast, this is the perfect getaway experience through-and-through.

Ok, I don't like B&B's. I've only stayed at 6 or so and have never been pleased with them. I prefer anonymity to intimacy when I'm on vacation and find that the inconveniences of B&B's far outweigh any charm or marginal breakfast they provide. I called to check availability and spoke to Claude. I was immediately impressed with his friendliness and reasonable cancellation policies. The house is deceptively large. The first thing I noticed when Lisa was giving us the tour was the condition of the house. This house is amazingly maintained. All the doors that I used were smooth and tight and the walls were free of settle cracks. The paint was fresh and bright and carpets clean and in good condition. But, the thing that is most impressive for me is the cleanliness. This place is super clean. I didn't see any dust or dirt anywhere. The bedroom and bath were spotless. Even the vents and registers looked new. It almost had a "new construction" clean about everything, nothing collected in corners or out of the way places. The second thing I noticed was a tremendous attention to detail. They pay very close attention to even the smallest details and everything that can, has their name on it from towels and robes to soap and ink pens as well as full candy dishes all throughout the house and rooms. Now for the charm of inconvenience. Some rooms have baths in the room but ours actually had separate toilet and shower area. We had to go through a small common hall to access the toilet on the right or shower on the left. So, we had to don robes to go to bathroom or take a bath. Not my favorite feature, but what can you do. Breakfast: The food at the Magnolia House is higher end restaurant quality. We ate 3 meals and never had the same thing twice. T Another really nice touch is an old icebox that’s converted to a community fridge. They keep water bottles and soft drinks on hand and there’s space for you to store you leftovers from restaurants.

I have stayed at many B & B's and this one is at the top of my list. Very clean, private and comfortable. I only had one breakfast there and it was amazing, but my husband and son ate every morning and said breakfast was the best ever. If you are looking for a clean, comfortable place to stay close to town this is the place.

We had a wonderful time. Next time we stay we will be sure to get a king size bed as both myself and husband and 6foot tall.

My husband and I had never been to a B&B before, and we enjoyed our stay imensley. This past weekend was our 2 year aniversary. The idea of being in a home away from home was comforting. Claude and Lisa were very sweet and attentive. Breakfast was five star. The sheets and the Robes were UH-mazing!! The living spaces downstairs and the outside patio were so inviting and relaxing. The home is full of character and the other couples were a delight to meet. The only thing I would change is the mattress. It was a bit firm for me, but maybe some are ok with that. The sheets definetley made up for it. We have been ruined. B&B's are the best way to go when traveling or even a staycation. I would definetley visit and recommend Magnolia House!! This will be an aniversary we will never forget. Thank You again Claude and Lisa. Chad and Zana

Lisa and Claude provide a wonderful atmosphere that is like staying in the elegant home of a good friend. Wine and cookies in the "family room" every afternoon and evening. Open refrigerator with wine, juice and water available at all times. Wonderful, full breakfasts prepared by Claude, e.g., homemade raspberry scones one morning. Decorations are exquisite. The smallest details are taken care of. Very charming home, nice backyard, good location - about 1/2 mile from the main street of Fredericksburg.

My best friend and I made the Magnolia House our "home base" during a 2-day bicycle trip through the Hill Country. Very nice rooms, amazing breakfasts and friendly innkeepers! Was close enough to downtown to walk in to dinner. I would definitely stay again.

The pictures don't do this place justice. The place is wonderful. There was even a flashlight on the night stand! Looking forward to our next visit!

Wonderful place, quiet area, close to downtown. Fantastic breakfast in a wonderful setting. Lisa was ever the gracious host and knowledgeable of the area. It is worth your time and effort! W. Morgan

The Magnolia House was one of the best B&B’s we have ever stayed in. I took my wife there – without her knowing where we were going. It was a great surprise and our hosts, Claude and Lisa were great. The breakfasts were awesome and it is located right down the block from the square. We will definitely be going back again.

We relied on the positive reviews of this B and B so chose the Magnolia Suite for our two-day visit to Fredericksburg. We were not disappointed. The only "drawback" was that Fredericksburg is such an interesting destination that we didn't have enough time to enjoy the comfort and attractiveness of Magnolia House! Claude and Lisa especially emphasize the serving of a wonderful breakfast - unique recipes, beautifully presented. The house is a well-constructed and maintained and historic Arts and Craft home which has maintained its original charm over the years.

Absolutely stellar B&B from the delicious elaborate breakfasts, warm homemade cookies in the afternoon, calm & inviting backyard koi pond patio area, home full of history and beautifully appointed rooms, close location to Main, accurate and insightful restaurant suggestions, free wi-fi, accessibility to biking routes, incredibly soft linens on the beds and nice selection of DVD's to watch after a full day exploring Fredericksburg. Claude & Lisa's attention to detail and anticipating their guests needs without being intrusive make this our favorite B&B experience yet. We will be back!

The Magnolia House is a wonderful place to relax and get away...my wife had a wonderful experience there and really enjoyed the surrounding area too. Close enough to walk to downtown main street, and Fredricksburg is a great weekend spot.

Everything from the food to the accomadating and warm hosts makes this b and b one of our favorites by far We will definitely return.

My boyfriend took me to Fredericksburg for a romantic weekend getaway. We got engaged while we were there and Lisa and Claude made our stay very special. I couldn't have asked for more thoughtful and accommodating innkeepers!

We found Magnolia House on TA and booked it based on previous reviews. It far exceeded our expectations. So many nice little touches that made this B&B our favorite to date. The Blue Bonnet Suite is great...a sitting area and kitchen! The breakfast was outstanding and the bed linens...well I ordered a set for home! :) So glad we decided to stop in on a whim! When in Fredericksburg, the Magnolia House is a must!

My husband and I had our first experience at a Bed and Breakfast at the Magnolia House in Fredricksberg, Texas and couldn't have picked a more pleasant place to stay. Claude and Lisa Saunders were fantastic hosts and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in the door. We learned the history of the house that was built in the 1920's and about the original owners. The house was immaculate and grounds were very well kept. The four huge Manolia trees in the front yard were evidently the source of the name of the house. The breakfasts were beyond compare and all the attention to details from refillable water bottles, to forgotten neccesities, to afternoon treats was marvelous. We were definately pampered without being overwhelmed. We hope to be guests at this home again...maybe to celebrate our next anniversary.

Claude and Lisa were fabulous hosts, very welcoming. They were also able to answer all our questions about the area. They recommended two wonderful restaurants for our evening dining. The B&B was very relaxing, lots of extra special touches to make it feel homey and enhance the stay. Claude is a outstanding and creative cook - he combines local flavor to make the special breakfasts. The afternoon baked goodies are a neat extra.

We had a great stay with Lisa and Claude. Breakfasts were delicious and delightfully served. Attention to extra details were not overlooked - from freshly baked cookies each afternoon to wine carafes filled for guests enjoyment, this couple sure knows how to make someone feel welcome.

The room was fantastic...clean and spacious. The breakfast each morning was outstanding! The owners were nice and hospitable.

My husband and I received a gift certificate to Magnolia House and were so pleased with our stay. We frequently stay at bed and breakfast inns when we travel and both agree that Magnolia House rates near the top of our experiences. The inn is very thoughtfully equipped with snacks, drinks, and movies, and both innkeepers gave us a warm and personal welcome. My husband and I both have dietary restrictions that have caused other innkeepers concern in the past, but Claude and Lisa took it all perfectly in stride and made us each individual meals that satisfied all of our dietary restrictions and were absolutely delicious. We hope to stay at Magnolia House again for another getaway soon now that we know such a comfortable stay is available to us.

Everything exceeded our expectations. A wonderful three days. Will go again. ps. Breakfasts are to die for pss. Don't forget to buy their cookbook.

The breakfasts were great. Claude and Lisa are very hospitable and friendly. The other guests were pleasant people and we enjoyed visiting with them.We also enjoyed the very large assortment of movies and music. We were in the morning room every morning early so we could enjoy the dieliious smells coming from the baking that Claude was doing. The upkeep of the grounds was great, very neat and enjoyable.

The Magnolia House is a fabulous bed & breakfast. I have been about 7 times, with hubby, girlfriends and family. It is ALWAYS very clean, very comfortable. Great house with character and history. Friendly hosts and a "to die for " gourmet breakfast! The best part:) Would recommend this B&B to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

Excellent bed and breakfast - close to everything in Fredericksburg, TX - breakfast was very good and filling (excellent chef) - hospitality was superb - premises were very well kept and the home felt just like that ... a home. My wife and I were traveling for our 25th anniversary (2nd honeymoon) and we stayed 2 nights at the Magnolia House. That's the best decision I have made in choosing places to stay. It was perfect.

This was a girls weekend of shopping in Fredericksburg. We stayed at The Magnolia House and it was a wonderful experience. Claude and Lisa were so warm and kind and made you feel a part of the family. They serve a wonderful breakfast and every detail is attended too. I highly recommend this bed and breakfast for anyone who wants a quiet, relaxing place to stay.

Claude and Lisa are fabulous hosts. The breakfasts that Claude makes are 5 star!! Love, love, love this place!!

This was a great find. We've never stayed in a bed and breakfast before, but this one exceeded our expectations. We stayed in The Bluebonnet Suite which was quite roomy. It had a little kitchen which was quit convenient. The breakfast was wonderful each morning. We were staying at the bed and breakfast with other family members to celebrate my parents 60th wedding anniversary. Claude and Lisa even made reservations to a restaurant they suggested and my parents had a wonderful time.

The setting of Magnolia House in Fredericksburg, TX is not only beautiful, but is peaceful and tranquil as well. The owners, Claude and Lisa provided outstanding hospitality and guest service. They have truly gone the extra mile to appoint the house with all a guest might need and warmly welcomed us initially and throughout our stay, letting us know they were available for any question or need that might arise. Claude prepares the most delicious gourmet breakfast that you can imagine. Let’s just leave it at that so you too can be surprised, but let me just say, “yum”! We stayed in the Lilli Marleen room. It is beautiful, warm and cozy. The owners were also kind enough to allow us to see unoccupied rooms and suites before we left. We found all of them to be fabulous, each unique and inviting. We learned that Magnolia House was built is the 1920’s by it’s original owner Edward Stein who was an architect. He took great pains to pay attention to every detail. The results are outstanding! I thoroughly enjoyed the home’s architecture with old style built-ins and nooks throughout the home including gorgeous fireplaces and glass cabinetry. The furnishings are gorgeous and distinctive, yet every single place I sat was “oh so comfortable” as well. I found not only one but several favorite places to sit, relax and take in the beauty of the home and grounds. In the evenings and mornings, one favorite was relaxing at the covered patio table by the koi pond. In the afternoons, I enjoyed the warmth of the sun on the front porch in a very comfortable wicker chaise. The porch is the perfect outdoor reading spot as you can feel the warmth of the sun, yet you are shaded. In addition, the way the porch is designed the opening between the bottom railing and the roof is huge; this creates a truly awesome panoramic view of the grounds’ Magnolia trees. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Magnolia House and highly recommend to others.

Everything was done up first class. Great hosts. Breakfasts were excellent.

This B&B had a wonderful location with many amenities. The Host couple were helpful, knowledgeable and made sure our visit was a pleasant one.

Claude's gourmet breakfast is cooked from scratch with only the best ingredients. We could not wait to see what was on the breakfast menu each day!

Perfect hosts, quiet location, convenient, lovely rooms, great food and wine. So impressed and would recommend it to anyone.

I've stayed at many B&B's and this one is by far the absolute best. Claude & Lisa were outstanding hosts, extremely customer-focused and attentive to every detail. From the wonderfully comfortable bedding to the presentation of the delicious breakfasts, the relaxing music in the sitting areas, the late afternoon wine, the delightful patio, it was a fabulous experience and I highly recommend staying at Magnolia House.

Our stay was great! Breakfast was excellent and our hosts was above excellent. Geri and larry Carter

We really enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and comfortable and the entire house/grounds had so much charm. Claude and Lisa made us feel as though the MH was our home and couldn't have made it a more pleasant First B&B experience. Claude is quite the cook! We also met some nice people- the other guests were very nice and we really enjoyed our chats with them at breakfast. You won't be disappointed! Steve & Amy Midland, TX

Great home, spacious rooms, super quiet hosts. Breakfast was fancy and wonderful! Good rest and relaxation.

Magnolia House B&B was more than we expected for our first visit there. The host and hostess could not have been more helpful and they had anything we needed to make our visit most comfortable. I would highly recommend this B&B to anyone looking for a great B&B in the Hill Country area of Texas.

A lovely stay. Our host (Lisa and Claude) were informative but not intrusive. The breakfast every morning was to die for!

Our visit to Magnolia House was lovely! The house itself is charming and the facilities were excellent. What made the visit outstanding, though, was the hosts! Lisa and Claude are creative, gracious, and thoughtful. Our visit featured many little "extras" and "surprises" designed to make guests feel at home. I really cannot think of anything they could have done to make our visit more enjoyable than it was! The breakfasts were a treat, and the hospitality was wonderful. We highly recommend it!

They had the best breakfast every morning. I loved being at the table and meeting the other house guests. Free Wi-Fi, beautiful historic home, great outdoor areas, and Claude and Lisa were just beautiful people. They were convienently located right next to the downtown area. Claude and Lisa knew where to send us for fun too!

My husband and I went to Magnolia House for some rest and relaxation. Boy did we get it! The house is beautiful with great attention to detail. The owners are friendly and made us feel right at home. The food was out of this world. We are planning to make this an annual tradition.

This being our first visit to a B & B we were very pleasantly surprised. It was a wonderful place, nice and quiet and the breakfast was simply delicous. Highly recommend this B & B.

I spent the weekend at Magnolia House in order to gain some precious writing time, and I couldn't have been any more pleased with the outcome. Claude and Lisa were more than accomodating, and my space was positively enchanting, with a fireplace, the slow trickle of water outside my screen door, delicious cookies every afternoon . . . I couldn't have asked for a better place to work. I'll definitely be back.

We have stayed at 5 B & B's in Fredericksburg, and the Magnolia house is our favorite. Breakfast is serviced in the dining room and is fabulous. It is nice to have use of the house and yard. They serve a delicious freshly made snack in the afternoon as well as soft drinks ,tea,coffee and wine. The rooms are comfortable and nicely decorated. If you have forgotten anything, there is a nicely stock cabinet with just about anything you might need. Claude and Lisa are very gracious hosts.

My wife and I loved this B&B. The owners were warm and welcoming and the accommodations could not have been better. The homemade breakfasts were gourmet quality.

We had a great time at the Magnolia house. My work needed to have some planning meetings while part of our group need a great place have fun. We were able to get both! The accomidations were excellent, they had more then I could have ever thought needed. One of the best B&B stays yet. Thanks!

If you're travelling through Texas, stop in Frederiskburg..charming city. And if you stop in Frederisckburg, stay at least one night at the Magnolia House. Hospitality is warm and sincere, room is romantic and comfee, and the breafkast is A+...DELISH!

First experiance at a bed & breakfast. My wife and I stayed at Magnolia House in Nov 09 for our 32 anniversary. We enjoed the our stay so well we already booked another get away for May 2010 and are bringing. other family member with us.

We can't say enough great things about the Magnolia House. Cleanliness, relaxing, quiet, comfortable, attention to detail, welcoming, courteous, delicious breakfast, warm, great outdoor patio complete with waterfall and koi pond. Don't stay anywhere else but here when visiting Fredericksburg, Tx.

Needing time away from schedules, we found Magnolia House in Fredericksburg, TX to be an ideal get-away. We were pampered with cordiality and personalized attention. Claude and Lisa were genuine hosts and they provided everything we anticipated with charm and professional services.

what a wonderful B&B. The home is beautiful and clean with great rooms. The breakfast was very good. A good choice for our stay in Fredericksburg.

The magnolia House was great. The breakfast was out of this world. The suite was warm, cozy, beautiful and relaxing. I will definitely tell all my friends and family about the Magnoila House and I will re visit soon. Two thumbs up to Claude and Lisa for making my getaway with my husband so enjoyable.

We stayed one night in the Magnolia House and enjoyed every minute and are looking forward to when we will be able to go back for another visit. We enjoyed all of the shops and eating establishements we visited but we enjoyed our stay at the Magnolia House the best.

our guests were very helpful in finding solutions for our small problems but big when they occured

My husband and I loved our stay at Magnolia House. It is such a peaceful. place and the amenities are wonderful with amazing attention to detail. Lisa and Claude are so hospitable and wonderful cooks! I would go back in a heartbeat. We did not want to leave that tranquil setting.

From the fish pond and the waterfall outside to the comfortable atmosphere inside the house, our time at Magnolia House was wonderful. Add to this great food and welcoming hosts, we could not have picked a better place to stay.

THIS PLACE WAS BREATHTAKINGLY GREAT. If you stay anywhere else you are paying too much and getting too little. Request the Bluebonnet Suite!

This was our first use of a B&B and it will certainly not be our last. Lisa and Claude have put together the ideal place for relaxation. Each morning at breakfast we felt as though we were dining with family thanks to the quality of care received. We'll be back!

Our first time staying at a B&B and made a great choice. Would highly recommend the Magnolia House to anyone planning to stay in the Fredericksburg area. We had personnalized sevice, a beautiful environment and gourmet food and amenities.

This was the first time for our "girls" trip. We couldn't have found a more wonderful place to stay. The breakfast's by Claude, with Lisa's help, were incredible and something to look forward to each morning. The house is historic with beauty and charm. The owners have thought of everything to make a guests' stay perfect and just like they had the amenities of home. Our BlueBonnett suite was perfect and we had the freedom to move around the main house as we wanted, to sit and talk, play games, sit outside or pick up a sweet goodie around 3 pm. We loved everything about our time at the Magnolia House and Fredericksburg. Lisa and Claude are knowledgeable about the area and are the perfect host and hostess. Thank you!!!

This was my 2nd visit (stayed with a friend last fall) to Magnolia and the 1st for my husband - everything was wonderful and as I expected my husband loved it too! Claude & Lisa run a first-rate B&B - you can depend on it! The gourmet breakfast was superb - fresh juice, homemade scones, scrambled egg casserole, german sausage & blueberry pancakes! The sitting areas and our room were perfectly clean and organized with wonderful little touches which we appreciated: freshly baked cookies at arrival, wines, teas, cider, sodas & water always available, flashlights near the bed, cabinet stocked with necessities in case we forgot something. If you're not a fan of claw-foot tubs, rest assured they have done a terrifice job with the shower attachment - the best I've seen! At breakfast, we were impressed but not surprised that several of the others had been coming to the Magnolia for years - one couple has come twice a year for 9 years! P.S. Don't miss a visit to Wildseed Farms just outside of town & Rather Sweet Bakery on the main street! We enjoyed dinner at the Cabernet Grill too.

What a wonderful place to stay...Claude and Lisa provide the perfect ambiance for your getaway. They provide that extra touch of sincerity that is often missing in a Bed & Breakfast. Bill & Connie Mechura

The Magnolia House Bed and Breakfast was one of the best I have ever stayed and. My husband I always try to stay at a bed and breakfast when we travel and this one was GREAT. The food was wonderful and there was more than enough to fill you up and all home cooking. There were always mid afternoon homemade baked goods for a snack and there were always drinks of all kinds any time you wanted. My husband and I enjoyed borrowing a movie from their collection and relaxing on our room in the evening watching a movie. The owners were very knowledgeable about the town and things to see and do. It was very clean and very much like home you are made to feel VERY WELCOME. I would recomend this to anyone traveling to Fredericksburg.

We stayed at the Magnolia House for my 37th birthday. this was our first B&B experience. Lisa and Cluade made it absolutely unforgetable.Our breakfast was amazing, never had better, and we travel often. The rooms were quaint, clean and roomy. The house is just down the street from all of the shopping. A must stay if in Fredericksburg...

Lisa and Claude were very hospitable from the moment we arrived. We received a historical, logistical tour of the house and its amenities along with recommendations for dinner. Our quarters were just beautiful and clean, clean, clean. Breakfast the next morning was outstanding and gourmet served on antique china with crystal and silver sides. They enabled us to chat at leisure with our fellow travelers and we all left feeling the better for it! Would definitely return to Magnolia House!

Our stay at Magnolia House was a surprise birthday present for me. We had never stayed at a B&B before and did not know what to expect. WOW!! The home and the grounds are in excellent condition. Claude and Lisa are wonderful hosts. We had one of the suites and it felt almost like home with a private entrance and private bathroom. Claude and Lisa had beverages & snacks available at all times. There were cookies as an afternoon/evening treat. The breakfasts were very good. The one drawback with Magnolia House being our first experience with a B&B is we are now so spoiled I don't know how many others can meet our expectations. We were spoiled rotten.

We enjoyed The Magnolia House Bed and Breakfast from the time Lisa opened the front door to greet us, till we gave both her and Claude a big Texas hug good-bye, when we left 3 days later. They are the most gracious host you will ever meet, they add so many extra amenities to make your stay "Special." Claude's delicious gourmet breakfast is different and incredible every morning! The B & B is beautiful and sooooo clean. It was a pleasure to stay at the Magnolia B & B and we are looking forward to a return visit in the near future! Roger and Yvonda

Best bed and breakfast we have been in. Host and hostess gave us exceptional service and attention to detail. Very nice couple to be with.

Everything necessary for an incredible stay was anticipated. One of the best B&B's we have ever stayed at .

We were greeted by the innkeeper and given a tour of the Magnolia House, complete with details of an interesting history. This B&B is beautiful, ultra clean, quiet and romantic. Claude Saunders did an amazing job with gourmet 2-course breakfast served on different china each morning of our stay. The antiques in each room are complimented by modern amenities and luxurious linens. Don't miss the small dishes of chocolate in every room or the home made snacks every afternoon. Whenever we are in Fredericksburg, Texas again, the Magnolia House will definitely be our first choice for accommodations!

Our stay at Magnolia House was more than we expected. Claude and Lisa paid close attention to every detail...from the bottle of champagne and chocolates to the relaxing music on the CD. They even remembered my food allergy and prepared a special breakfast just for me. Boy, was I spoiled! Our 20th wedding anniversary will always be an anniversary to remember!

Our stay was so relaxing. The bed was so soft & comfy. Enjoyed hearing about the history of the house. I especially liked the shoe closest in our room! Last, but surely the best...the BREAKFAST...EXCELLENT!!!!

Claude and Lisa are wonderful hosts who anticipate your every want/need. Their attention to detail, from the umbrella by the front door to the flashlight on the nightstand demonstrated their understanding what makes them outstanding in the B & B world. The gardens were beautiful and extend the relaxation beyond the lovely house. Claude's breakfasts were incomparable! Highly recommend this bed and breakfast-you will not be disappointed!

Couldn't have been more perfect. Clean, fabulous breakfasts. All I can say is.....OUTSTANDING.

Excellent and very friendly service from Claude and Lisa. Wonderful attention to detail. The complementary home-made cookies and wine were a wonderful touch. Great breakfast!

Our experience was delightful in every way, from the lovely and comfortable rooms, with much attention to detail and supplying every need or desire, to the outstanding food, beautifully presented. Will certainly return ASAP!

We were greeted by the owner who showed us the entire home and told us all about it and also recommended two local restaurants. Beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was wonderful! Great experience.

Claude and Lisa were excellent hosts. We had the Lili Marleen room for our stay and it was beautiful and comfortable. The house was very nice and the breakfasts were phenomenal. We would not want to stay anywhere else and would recommend Magnolia House to anyone!

We loved our stay at this bed and breakfast. We have had some experiences in the past that were not good with B & B's so we were taking a chance. It was a wonderful place and Claude and Lisa are just great people. They were very helpful, the food was great and they also are very respectful of your privacy. We would definitely stay there when we visit again. The rooms and bathrooms are very nice and roomy also.

We booked at the last minute and were quite happy with our brief stay. The room was clean and atmosphere inviting. Clause and Lisa told us everything we needed to know and stayed clear of us to make us feel comfortable. The breakfast was outstanding as was the conversation with guests. I have no problem recommending the Magnolia House to anyone -- especially those leary of staying in someone else's home.

This was our first experience at a bed and breakfast so we were not sure what to expect. What we got was a wonderful experience which has turned us on to B&B's versus the mainstream hotel/motel route. We were put to ease from the moment we walked in the door. We were greeted with warmth and given a tour of the facilities which were much nicer than we ever would have imagined. The facilities were top notch from the bedrooms, to the common areas both inside (full of snacks, reading and movie materials) and outside (wonderful garden area complete with coy pond and outdoor fireplace). The Bedrooms we stayed in had a separate living room and bathroom areas and were decorated beautifully. We had a full suite of bathroom items all ready in the room in case we had forgotten anything. The Breakfast Service was included as was phenomenal as each morning we were greeted with new and exciting meals which were absolutely wonderful. Claude and Lisa (The Owners) were extremely helpful long before we got there as they made the reservation process smooth and got us all of our dinner reservations throughout our stay well ahead of time, thanks to them listing all of the dining options on their website. Fredericksburg is a quiet little getaway in wine country in which you can take a wine tour to any of the 20 local wineries, or just enjoy the multitude of shopping available in all the shops around town, we did both! The B&B is located just off the Main street and is very close to everything you need to enjoy your weekend getaway, if you can pull yourself away from the amenities the B&B's offers!

This was our first visit to the Magnolia House. We had a wonderful time. Claude took time to explain the history of the house and made us feel so at home. The breakfast was so good. We want to go back and take our family.

The Magnolia House is the only B&B in Fredericksburg that we will stay at...it is absolutely the best.

What a lovely and peaceful setting. Loved the decor and ambiance of the house. Very nice amenities. Felt right at home. Will choose the Magnolia House again.

Excellent B&B look forward to my next visit.

What a wonderful time the eight us had at this wonderful setting. Everything was so comfortable and inviting. The food was fabulous!

Our first stay in a B&B and were so delighted with our experience. The house is beautifully kept and every detail was been thought of. Breakfast was out of this world!!

Magnolia House is perfect. It is beautiful and elegant, yet homey and inviting. The Saunders are wonderful hosts. The breakfasts are superb. ALL amenities are provided and everything is beautifully presented. It is a great place for couples or for a group of "girls" on an outing. Totally wonderful!

Very clean and well run. Breakfast was that of a professional chef. Welcoming and comfortable. We will be back!

Claude and Lisa were wonderful hosts. The gourmet breakfasts were delicious with beautiful table settings. They show attention to every detail. We were there for our anniversary and while we were having breakfast a card and candy were left in our room. Very special! We are looking forward to our next stay at Magnolia House.

Wonderful gourmet breakfasts, gracious hosts that exceeded any and all expections of our stay. I will be staying there again shortly and sending frinds and family to a fantastic experience.

This is a beutiful home. The backyard was great for morning coffee and sipping wine in the evening. The breakfasts were to die for. The hosts were charming. I would highly recommend a stay here.

We were very pleased with our stay at the Magnolia House. Claude & Lisa were excellent hosts and the food was wonderful!

We had the last room available which had a private bath that was located in the hallway. The room was fine but having to go out into the hall to use the bathroom was less than ideal. The house is very cozy and has some nice outdoor areas. The breakfast was very good and very plentiful. The owners are very attentive. A good value.
