This is the third time we have stayed at the Magnolia Plantation B&B in Gainesville, Florida and once again, it was a great visit. This B&B is located on "B&B row" in a quaint neighborhood near downtown Gainesville - very convenient to some fabulous restaurants. Joe and Cindy are excellent hosts and make you feel like you are family. We were in the Magnolia Room in the main house which is a very spacious room. Gainesville is a very "bike friendly" city. This B&B is a perfect location for our biking because it is just down the street from the Gainesville-Hawthorne Trail.

We stayed at the Magnolia Plantation in December. Convenient location to the downtown area of Gainesville. The host and hostess exude Southern hospitality. It was great to hear about the history of the home. Breakfast was awesome. Highly recommend.
