The Magnolia Suite Cottage is our ADA compliant and pet friendly cottage .
COMING SOON- a fully enclosed dog run located in the back of the cottages . This unit allows for easy access via a side ramp to take your precious pet out for walks.

Don't forget to tag us with your photo in front of our memory wall, and remember... Magic happens on the Porch.
The Porch was dreamed up by a former Publicist who took the best of her travels to New York, Miami and Los Angeles and blended chic amenities of the best hotels and paired them into cozy southern cottages. You will find magical touches infused at our properties such as bistro lights, in room fireplaces and outdoor firepits. A lighted memory wall for photo ops and nooks hidden throughout to invoke the imagination. Magic truly happens at the Porch!
