Casey Jones Village Tours

There are rare times when you schedule a stop on a trip, that you find the most incredible place to stay. Magnolia Manor & Chapel, owned and operated by Lee and Lyne Sands, is one of those magnificent places. Lee and Lyne bought this old church and turned it into, not just overnight lodging, but a real event venue. The rooms where you stay are so charming & are each decorated individually. Our room included absolutely everything we would need for a stay. We felt very spoiled. When we walked down the stairs to the dining room, it blew our minds. It was decorated so delightfully. We smelled something good cooking. Oh my gosh, our drinks arrived along with a plate of french toast sticks. When I found out they were gluten-free I was in seventh heaven. Next came the enticing mixed fruit. We then enjoyed scrambled eggs (egg whites!) bacon, and the most delicious hash brown casserole I’ve ever had. Now that, is A BREAKFAST. They also serve lunch and offer brunch on Saturday & Sunday They also have a building in the back with a beautiful patio to listen to different bands while you have drinks and light food. Right now I believe it operates on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. They also have the most splendidly redone chapel. Wonderful place to have a small wedding or celebration. All in all, we will definitely be back and I highly recommend it to anyone traveling through that area. It’s not far off the highway between Memphis and Nashville.
