Located in Crane Hill, AL, near Bremen on beautiful Smith Lake, Magnolia Manor is the ultimate lakefront retreat for families, reunions, and professional gatherings.

WHAT YOUR GROUP WILL LOVE

- Sleeps 26 – plenty of beds plus a comfy couch for extra space.

GOOD TO KNOW

- Continuous steps lead from the house down to the water and dock. If stairs are a challenge, we've arranged an easy-access option with our kind neighbor – just reach out for details. We ask only that you do not block the neighbor's driveway, as it's their private access.

- There is no hot tub, but there are two large Jacuzzi-sized bathtubs – one in the master on the main level and one in the master on the top level.

Magnolia Manor is the perfect backdrop for your unforgettable Smith Lake vacation!

The kitchen was really well stocked for a lot of people. The rooms were great except we didn't know that you had to go through the upstairs room to get to 3 more beds. The lake and sitting places were fantastic, our children and grandchildren had so much fun.
