Natural Surroundings, Historic Setting
This is the land of gigantic oak trees, blooming azaleas, dogwood, and crepe myrtle, and the amazing Mississippi River with its bountiful wildlife.
Your cottage sits right beside the Mississippi at the entrance to Magnolia Vale, home to the same family since 1790.
Its original botanical gardens, once a famous stop for 19th century steamboat travelers, is now under reconstruction.
Also, this was once the site of historic Learned's Mill, the oldest cypress mill in the South.
Today, towboats navigate the winding river instead of paddle wheelers, their mighty engines rumbling as they push their cargo-laden barges to their destination. Kayaks often land just a few steps from your cottage.
