Sugar Magnolia House-Romantic Historic Home

Beautiful antique-filled rooms, comfortable and very spacious in Historic Springfield neighborhood. Close to downtown. Step back in time as you sip your morning coffee on the back deck, enjoy a cold drink on the veranda, or gather with friends or family in the backyard gazebo. Super-comfy beds and designer bed linens, fluffy towels, washer/dryer. Titanic fans will enjoy the library filled with memoribilia that features a turntable and vintage vinyl records. Gorgeously appointed 1st floor parlor offers a more formal setting with the artworks of John Waterhouse and a crystal chandelier while the upstairs den is perfect for family movie night. The formal dining room with its reproduction Colonial Williamsburg wallpaper and matching drapes is ideal for a romantic candlelit dinner or a pizza party.
Smart TVs, fast Wi-Fi, dedicated office space, coffee station with Keurig and pods provided, microwave, and so many other amenities.

We stayed here while we were in town for a speech and debate tournament being held in downtown Jacksonville. Was a perfect location and not far from the church. Loved the house. Beds were comfortable and the house was very clean. Was like stepping back in time.

Most unique vintage house in Springfield

The Sugar Magnolia House is a wonderful and unique turn of the century home to transport you back to the 1920's. Even though all the furnishings and decorations have the vintage charm, the home is yet furnished with the modern conveniences of air conditioning and wifi. From the large front porch to the extensive backyard, this space can be used for any family or occasion, big or small. The host was very accomodating and awesome. I highly recommend this getaway home!

We were in the city to attend our Summer RC. Because l am directionally challenged, l looked for the closest place and found it with Vrbo . We were very pleased with the accommodations. And the attention to historicity of the house and its furnishings with all the modern conveniences we've come to love. . We look forward to our stay next year if once again we are assigned Jacksonville as our site. Thanx Melody for all of your gracious responses to our inquiries. The Copeland's.....till next time.

We absolutely loved the place! The kids didn’t want to leave, they had so many rooms to explore and enjoyed just lounging around and relaxing. The house is beautiful, huge and was very clean! We were provided plenty of towels and soap. The kitchen also provided everything we needed to cook a meal. We would definitely love to stay again in the near future!

Charming Home!

I stayed at Sugar Magnolia House for a weekend with some friends for a girl’s trip. The property owner was so kind and helpful. The house was decorated beautifully and the historic notes were preserved really well. We loved exploring everything and enjoyed time in what we coined the “red room.” So fun!
