We enjoyed our stay at the Magnolia Inn Bed and Breakfast. The Innkeepers Sandy and Joe were polite and friendly. The room we stayed in was comfortable and clean, as well as the rest of the rooms open to guests. Our breakfast of eggs and French toast dishes each day were delicious and the biscotti was fantastic. We look forward to our next visit and would highly recommend it to all our friends.

Wonderful, relaxing experience at this lovely inn. Lots to do in the area for fun and excitement or just enjoy the serenity. Each room is beautifully decorated, so comfy and inviting. Sandy and Joe are the ultimate hosts and the food was all one would expect and more!

My wife and I did our first trip to Mt. Dora and loved the town. The only thing better was the Magnolia Inn. It’s an absolutely beautiful home well suited for visitors, and only a couple blocks from the downtown area - an easy walk. We stayed in the Primavera room and it was the perfect combination of comfortable and beautifully decorated. Sandy and Joe couldn’t have been better hosts and did everything to make us feel welcome. I’ve stayed at many B&B’s across the world and this was easily one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. If you go, ask Joe to play the 1912 phonograph and check out the volume control. And anything Sandy offers for her home cooked breakfast, say yes. She’s humble, but I’ll tell you she’s a great cook and even took the time to sit down with us afterwards just to talk. If I could give 10 stars, I would.

What a wonderful time! The sleeping accommodations were very comfortable. Showers hot after our long day in town. The breakfast served by Sandy and Joe was a plentiful and lovely presentation. Outdoorsitting area was beautiful and relaxing. Wishing the best in their new ownership. Can't wait to go back.

We love The Magnolia Inn. This is our second stay here with my husband. Our friends who joined us on this visit loved The Magnolia Inn as well. All of us want to come back soon. Sandy and Joe made my birthday celebration very special and Sandy even shared her granola recipe. The breakfast was homemade and was very delicious.

Sandra and Joe are wonderful owners. Very accommodating. The breakfasts were exceptional and the rooms lovely and well maintained. Only a few blocks to downtown Mt Dora and when crowded, you will be happy that you have a parking place for your vehicle.

The house and surrounding landscape are beautiful! The staircase leading you up to your room is wide and welcoming - it is like stepping back in time. Joe and Sandy are the best - very warm and friendly. Oh, and don't get me started about the breakfasts- the food is outstanding! We can highly recommend, and look forward to coming back again.

We celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary at this wonderful B&B. From the moment we met the owners we knew it would be a great place to stay. They are hospitable and accommodating and their home is absolutely stunning. We stayed in the Carriage House which was perfect. We enjoyed being able to walk to everything in town from the Magnolia Inn. We highly recommend this B&B!!
