COVID 19

We’re the Ideal Social Distancing Getaway – We’ve always thought we were the perfect antidote to the hustle and bustle of the busy city and suburban life. Now we know it is. Our guest rooms make social distancing easy and natural. Your visit to The Historic Magnolia House will feel safe and secure. And because we are a private property, we can easily manage the flow of guests and other visitors to protect your privacy and health. We are following the latest guidance from the NC Department of Health and Human Services.

At this time, we do require COVID19 Vaccinations/Boosters upon checkin.

Our Commitment to You

We are taking the following steps to optimize safety:

  • We are following recommended social distancing practices, including no-contact behaviors with guests.
  • Sanitizing surfaces continuously and defogging of the facility.
  • Frequently washing hands and using hand sanitizer when necessary.
  • Maximizing natural ventilation in all spaces when practical.

General Protocols

We look forward to welcoming you to our historic property. While your overall experience will be as delightful as usual, here is what you should expect:

Guest room management that allows maximum time between guest stays.

A modified arrivals process that follows social distancing guidelines. Upon check-in, we will no longer give a tour of the building as they will be self-guided throughout our living museum, and all required information about your stay will be in your room or upon check-in

You do not have to visit the front desk upon departure.  Please call or text us on the number we will provide you with and let us know you are leaving.  Make sure we have your email address on file so we can send you a folio.

Hand sanitizer stations are located throughout the property.

Our Housekeeping Protocols

We have always prided ourselves on maintaining a pristine environment for your enjoyment. At The Historic Magnolia House, we’re doubling down by:

Enhanced cleaning protocols in all common spaces and continual cleanings of high-touch surfaces throughout the day.

Zero contact daily room refresh: Upon request, we will leave linens, towels, and amenities at your door.  If you are staying more than 2 nights, upon request we can have the housekeeping staff change the linens and towels and clean the room.  

What We Ask of You

If during your stay you fall ill, we request that you seek immediate medical attention and notify us.

If before your visit you are not feeling well and show any symptoms of Covid-19 (fever, dry cough, shortness of breath, loss of taste or smell), please stay home and stay safe. We will happily re-book your stay or provide a gift certificate.

If you need to change your reservation, we are more than happy to move you to a different date that is available. We understand these are unprecedented times and we will make every effort to accommodate you as best we can. Please review our Cancellation Policy.
