The front porch is yours to enjoy, complete with a swing and rocking chairs. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee, enjoying a quiet afternoon, or taking in the evening breeze, the front porch is a perfect spot for relaxation and tranquility. Experience the nostalgia of childhood with our tire swing. Suspended from a sturdy branch, the tire swing is a delightful addition to the backyard.

Roast marshmallows, share stories, and enjoy the warmth of the fire under the starlit sky. It's a cozy and inviting space for evenings filled with laughter and camaraderie.

Great weekend in Shreveport and stay at Southern Magnolia House
Clean, easy check in, decorative and functional layout. Slept 6 very easily. Close to Shreveport and very close to Caddo Lake. Quiet neighborhood. Would recommend and would stay again.
The house is really nice. Chris and Jennifer are amazing. Decided to extend the stay for a few months. Would highly recommend this house and any house/cabins managed by Chris and Jennifer
