We recently stayed the July 4th weekend at Magnolia House Bed and Breakfast in the lovely little town of Oriental. The home is immaculate and beautifully restored. Jennifer was a wonderful caring host who exudes Southern hospitality and her attention to detail is impeccable. Each morning we were treated to an amazing breakfast with locally sourced food and there were so many extra touches from afternoon wine and cheese, fresh baked cookies from a local bakery, lemonade on the front porch while we watched the parade, access to bikes to stroll around town, just to name a few that truly made it such a wonderful experience. I highly recommend a stay there, you will feel right at home.

The house was immaculate and decorated for 4th if July. The perfect place to experience the Oriental waterfront. Everything in town is walkable (including the Brewery!), but the owner also has bikes for use (free), including a tandem. Easy 30 min drive to New Bern through farmland to get bigger town dinner, but Oriental has a cool mix of seafood, Pizza, subs and a nice covered Sport bar type area that just opened. Lots of taps and great drink selection. During the 4th, 4 different place had live music. Awesome romantic get away weekend. The farm to table, locally sourced breakfast was amazing and the 4pm wine, cheese and brandy was over the top!

Had occasion to spend three nights at this beautiful establishment recently. I can not recommend it highly enough. You will find everything prepared with the utmost of care and consideration. The experience is worth every penny of the price.

My mom and I stayed at Magnolia House for our girls weekend recently and had the best time! Jennifer is an amazing host, with such attention to detail, and made our stay absolutely wonderful. The afternoon wine and snacks were a great way to start our time there, the breakfast was delicious, and we loved how she uses so many local products. We enjoyed using the bikes to ride to dinner and around town as well, and there are some great areas on the property to hang out and relax. All of the little details and the great hospitality made for such a fun stay. We can't wait for another stay there!

This was our first time at Magnolia House but it won't be our last. It is absolute perfection, the best B&B that we have ever experienced! Jennifer is a true Southern host and her attention to detail is unsurpassed. And her breakfasts are amazing! We would highly recommend this B&B if you are in the area. We are anxious to return!

Friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating and beautiful—my stay couldn’t have been better. My host made me feel at home but also had such a professional manner. The house is amazing and the dining and special touches remarkable. I’ll be returning!

My husband and I had a fantastic two night stay at Magnolia House. Jennifer was the perfect host. The Inn was beautifully decorated with careful thought put into each room. The luxury linens along with great breakfast made our stay even better. Lots of love in every detail.

Absolutely perfect. This was our 41st anniversary and both host made it very special. One of a kind town and village with water all around. Took the ferry ride over to Morehead City and all the other sites. Food and rooms were the best. The Magnolia tree is like a outside room. We will be back.

This was the perfect place to spend our anniversary! The gourmet breakfasts were absolutely amazing. We loved the local cheeses and wine in the afternoons. The attention to detail is fabulous. We highly recommended this B&B... you will not find a warmer, more accommodating owner and manager.
