Hollie,
your"home" is absolutely beautiful!! Our room was impeccable!!
The furnishings are exquisite with the antiques and Victorian furniture
and the 12 foot window dressings. The bed was the best bed I have
ever slept in in my entire life!!! The feather pillow and goose
down comforter..... the list goes on. You guys really care that
we enjoy our time there------ all the way down to the special accommodations
for an early breakfast for our early plane departure. I
think God has blessed you with a wonderful opportunity to touch
people's lives in a very special way, and you have-- at least ours!!!
May your Magnolia Mansion continue to bloom over the years.
Many good wishes.

Bonne Chances Pour Moi, May the future at Magnolia Mansion be as
brilliant as our memories of our stay. To experience this "lovely
lady" after 50+ years has been very rewarding. "To those
50+ years ago, I volunteered at the BIG RED CROSS with our class
from McGenees School, rolling bandages. I think. However nothing
could erase the memories of 2127 Prytania Most warm hospitality.
Nancy Schengler (Mandeville) 2/10/03
The only way to describe this beautiful establishment is
a class A wonderful and friendly B&B. My wife Linda
& I came to New Orleans not knowing what to expect and left
here with wonderful friends and the best place to stay that we hope
to pass on to our friends and family. If you are reading this now,
you already know what we are talking about. We would not even consider
staying somewhere else on our next visit. Thank you for the amazing
time and the wonderful memories!
Mr. & Mrs. Daniel B Spickard 2/16/03

are already planning our next visit to New Orleans and this is where
we will stay! Thanks for the memories.
Jerry & Betty Howard (Mountain Ranch, CA) 2/17/03
Hollie and Co. are a rarity in the service industry in that
they actually know what customer service is all about.
They have made us feel so special and welcome. I consider Hollie's
charm a major part of why we loved our trip. Plus- I had the best
night's sleep ever - comfortable beds and total black-out in the
rooms. Just what we needed after a long day of traveling. Thanks
for the memories!

get some sleep. The beds were great and the Margarita was better!
Take Care.
Jeff 3/5/03
I came here as a business traveler and 11 days later I feel
I leave as family. Everyone has made my stay so nice, Michael
who greeted me and kept me entertained, Susie and Brad, during the
days who looked after me. Johnny who always had a smile and a handshake
and Hollie who was the gracious owner. I will be definitely be back
next time I am in town. And I look forward to seeing my new family.
Take care and I am missing you already.
Glen Diffee 2/25-3/8/03
This was our first stay at the Mansion and it was great. The mansion
is very clean and elegant and the staff is great. They are
very welcoming and make you feel at home. An important
thing to us wherever we stay is the comfort of the bed and it was
very comfortable. The ease of coming and going to and from the mansion
was also a welcoming factor. We will definitely keep this in our
list of places for our second visit. We had a great time. Thanks
to everyone.
The Corina's (Houston, TX) 3/8/03
I love to travel, I live for it. I've been around the world and
this is my first time in New Orleans. What a great experience. I've
been in Paris, Montreal and now here...this Mansion is just so real
and glamorous. From 1 to 10 I give you a "10"
Miguel 3/9/03
I've been to New Orleans several times but of all the places I have
stayed this is definitely the best. When back in N.O. I'll
be staying here. Thanks for the Wonderful time.
Todd 3/9/03
Thank you , Susie and "Tina" Hollie for allowing us to
tour your beautiful, tasteful restoration of one of my favorite
" plantation homes" on Prytania Street. Painting it white
and placing the lovely white iron work furniture on the porch along
with the wicker chairs took me back to my childhood, happy memories.
Congratulations on a job well done and on having gracious hostesses
like Susie to make us feel at home. 3/9/03
What a wonderful visit we had in New Orleans because of your stay
in your beautiful home. We thoroughly enjoyed everything about this
plantation home and your exquisite hospitality.We will make
this "Our home away from home" When we return to New Orleans.
Our deepest appreciation!
Ed & Linda Kabelac (Ithaca, NY) 3/10/03
We

mean that. Best Wishes from the both us.

it to our friends and family. Thank You! Hope to see you
in the future!
Rob & Lisa Haug, Bette Ville, IL 1/14/03
We
very much enjoyed our stay in the Vampire's Room. While the bed
was very comfortable, we soon found ourselves preferring sleeping
upside-down, hanging off the ceiling. The stay was inspirational
- hope to be back many times in the future. We'll worth the donations
of blood. Thank you all for your hospitality.
Chris Angel & Kathy Forkes - Los Angeles, CA 1/14/03
Thanks
to Hollie & Kristian for making us feel as welcomed as the mansion
made us feel comfortable. I'd love to find a bed in Tucson as snuggly
and cloud-like as the one in the Cinderella room. The mansion
exceeded our expectations - elegance, opulence, magnificence,
fantasy! We loved and admired EVERYTHING! Your
attention to detail and color sense is overwhelming. (Gave me ideas
to re-decorate our home). You'll see us again!
Shirley & Joe Swaffer, Tucson, AZ 1/15/03
