Overlooking the entrance to the Memphis Zoo and the Overton Park formal gardens

The Magnolia House is considered by many to be the #1 luxury vacation rental in West Tennessee. This lovely, completely remodeled home is located in a quite, historic neighborhood overlooking the peaceful Overton Park. The setting is perfect for weekend get-aways, family reunions, vacations or just to relax and enjoy the wonderful amenities surrounding you, all within walking distance....people travel from all around to enjoy over 50 free concerts a year at the outdoor amphitheater, the Levitt Shell (where Elvis first played!), also the Memphis Zoo (ranked one of the top zoos in the United States) can be viewed from this home, the wonderful Brooks Art Museum (the largest art museum in Tennessee) is also within walking distance. The Park also offers a 9-Hole City Golf Course, entrance to the Shelby Farms Greenline for biking or walking(which is a 6.5 mile biking path and connects midtown to Shelby Farms Park), fantastic new playground and also a pond for watching ducks and fish. Do not forget your picnic basket, frisbee and a kite for a leisurely day outside!

The home is very secure with automatic gated entrance. Very safe neighborhood for walking and strolling to the Zoo, the Levitt Shell Amphitheater or the Brooks Art Museum. High speed internet is offered as well.

The newly renovated Overton Square is a few blocks away with some of the best restaurants in the City! German, Japanese, Mexican, Cajun, Italian food can all be found in this great area! We would love to recommend some of our favorites! Also, a great place to find nightlife...many bars with restaurants open late and even Lafayette's Music Room and The Zebra Lounge with a piano bar! If you are into theater, Playhouse on The Square, The new Hattiloo Theater and The Circuit Playhouse are located in this area. Also, in close proximity is the Cooper Young area, where there is another wide range of great restaurants. If you are a "foodie" or love visiting breweries, you will LOVE this area as well!

The Home is also very close to downtown where you will find the world famous Beale Street with much nightlife, Sun Studios, the well-known Peabody Hotel with their famous daily, duck parade, the Gibson Guitar Museum, the Fed-Ex Forum where many great concerts are held and the Memphis Grizzlies play, the Redbirds Baseball Stadium, and also the not to be missed newly opened Bass Pro Shop (largest Bass Pro in the United States and located in The Pyramid overlooking the great Mississippi River). One can not leave the City without sampling our world-famous barbecue. The Rendezvous and Central Barbecue are both very close!
The list goes on and on....so much to see and do in The City! This home, however, was remodeled and designed by an interior designer and is a wonderful place just to sit back, relax and enjoy its upscale amenities!
We love our city and hope that you will come and embrace all that it has to offer!

The property was beautiful and the neighborhood was full of walkers and runners being so close to the park and zoo. Our host and hostess had the property well prepared along with a baked cake. We do have a few suggestions to suit parties of all adults. The bathroom in the laundry room could use hooks on the walls for towels and maybe a small table for personal items. We thought two of the rooms had twin beds in them, not roll aways. We enjoyed our stay and found everything we needed as being there. Oh, perhaps cone shaped coffee filters being provided. 😉

Wonderful Stay in Memphis
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful house in Memphis. The home was immaculate and well-maintained, making it comfortable and relaxing for our trip. The location couldn't have been more perfect—just a short distance from Rhodes College, which made it very convenient for our visit. The neighborhood was quiet, and we felt safe the entire time. The house itself was spacious, with all the amenities we needed. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

There is no more delightful or perfect place to stay in Memphis, TN. The location is ideal for families and adults. The neighborhood is safe and beautiful. The house is beautifully decorated, immaculately clean and with everything you could ever want. One of my granddaughters asks every year if we can stay in Magnolia Place when we visit Memphis.

Excellent house!
This was the beginning of a 2 week family holiday that started in Memphis and boy what a start it was! The house is amazing - everything about it was as described (I’d actually say that the pictures don’t do it justice, it’s even better in real life!) Loads of space, great location, brilliant information from Elizabeth - seriously we couldn’t have asked for more! We are a family of 4 with a 16 year old and 12 year old and even they were impressed which, anyone with teenagers will know, happens rarely!! We’d hired a car so didn’t need to Uber or anything but I’m sure it would have been fine. We spent time in Memphis and went to Graceland and all was an easy drive from the house. If you are looking for a beautiful house in Memphis then book this one - you won’t be sorry!

This is the one of the most beautiful properties I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in. Decorated beautifully, in a beautiful neighborhood, close enough to all attractions, but I world away when it comes to accommodations. It was like staying in a modern version of Graceland. My family and I loved it.

Perfect Memphis Home
We stayed in the Magnolia House while in Memphis for our daughter’s college graduation. We wanted a place to visit with family instead of several hotel rooms. This house is gorgeous, with incredible attention to detail & great design while keeping in touch with the architectural style of a mid-century home. We enjoyed taking in time in each of the rooms, but especially the music/camera room! The neighborhood is pristine with a great park literally next door. The backyard is very serene & the magnolia trees in the front & back are quintessential southern home. The owners were super accommodating to our request and were very responsive to our messages. The only thing I’d say about the listing is the home is even more beautiful than the listing- the pictures just don’t do it justice. Thanks! Highly recommend.
