Spilling The Tea

Reflections from the Porch

Early mornings on the porch are some of the quietest, most meaningful moments at The Magnolia Inn. Before guests come down for breakfast, the house is filled with soft light, the air smells like fresh coffee, and there’s time to pause.

Sitting in one of the wicker chairs with a notebook, I often reflect on the week’s highlights: the couple celebrating their 40th anniversary, the book club laughing late into the night, the solo traveler who finally finished her novel on the porch swing.

What strikes me most is how ordinary moments turn extraordinary here. A conversation over tea, a smile exchanged in the hallway, or a slow walk through the garden — they become memories people carry home.

This inn is more than a business; it’s a rhythm of welcomes and goodbyes, hellos and see-you-agains. And every time I sit on the porch, I’m reminded of why we opened our doors: to give people a place to slow down, connect, and feel at home.
