COVID-19 Update  

Here at the Magnolia Plantation Bed and Breakfast, our guests are our focus, our business and our passion. It's why your health, safety and relaxation are of utmost importance. We know this is a stressful time with the spread of the coronavirus, especially for those having to travel. For those that do find themselves still having to travel, or needing to quarantine away from home, we hope to offer a safe, clean and private option.

Beginning May 17, we are transitioning back to traditional Bed and Breakfast stays. However we will still be following social distancing protocols and safety precuations. This means all check-ins will be done on a note. No one will be going into the cottage with you barring an emergency. We will be happy to help you and walk you through any issue over the phone. Breakfast in the morning and wine and snacks in the evening will be placed in your cottage ahead of time or brought to you on a tray and left outside the door.

We will not be doing daily housekeeping. We will be happy to bring your more supplies while still following social distancing protocols. Any stay two nights or longer will see a $20 reduction per night to reflect this change. 

If you would prefer a Vacation Rental stay or still feel uncertain with the spread of COVID-19, we are happy to offer stripped down reservations. This means contacless check-in and does not include breakfast, wine and snacks or the distanced housekeeping. Your stay will be reduced 35%. 

Put in code "VR35" at checkout or mention this deal when booking over the phone. 

For now, no guests will be permitted to stay or enter the main house. Only cottages are avaliable for booking. We boast nine cottages ranging in size and style. All come equipped with Wifi, full bathrooms and at least a kitchentte while most have full kitchens that are fully stocked. 

We want you to feel safe before arriving at our B&B or while deciding whether or not to travel. So we'd like to tell you about our initiatives during COVID-19.

In addition to our normal standards in line with Florida Health and Safety regulations, we have amped up our efforts to do our part in stopping the spread of this virus.

1. Our staff has been informed about the dangers of COVID-19 and best practices to reducing the spread of infection. This includes things like wearing protective gloves when handling soiled linens, washing hands after handling a debit/credit card and using hand sanitizer after touching any surface.
*We will also not be hugging or shaking hands with any of our guests during this time. Please do not be offended. We really wish we could.

2. We are also cleaning, cleaning and doing more cleaning. Part of COVID-19 is the duration for which the virus can survive on external surfaces. We are disinfecting door knobs, hand rails and common area surfaces multiple times per day.

3. Any staff member showing signs of illness will be sent home immediately, and will remain at home, until they are symptom free for up to 72 hours. We understand our responsibility on the front lines of global travel, and we will not put our guests at risk of infection due to our own personal conditions.

4. We will continue to monitor the situation, and follow directions from the CDC, as well as other federal, state and local government agencies.

It's warm in Gainesville and our sprawling property allows for a full relaxing environment that is also safe for anyone needing to quarantine or travel. Thank you for your patience during this uncertain time. We hope to see you soon. Stay safe.
