The Top Rated and best Marina on Smith Lake is just across the water from Magnolia Manor in your boat or just 2-4 minutes away by road.

Magnolia Manor is 2/10 of one mile West of the Marina by land or by boat, just across the lake next to the peninsula that juts out on the map. Coming from I-65, we are 7.1 miles West of Interstate 65 down State Highway 69. Magnolia Manor is a hide-away overlooking Smith Lake placed upon a rolling hillside about 270 feet from waters edge where we have 140 feet of water frontage.

Recommended by others....... “We visited Magnolia Manor in June and had a wonderful time. I have four kids and 7 grandchildren. The house is wonderful for a big family. Everyone had their own rooms and the kids loved the bunks. The kitchen is adequately furnished for cooking large meals. We loved the outside decks. There is lots of parking for several vehicles. We enjoyed our time at Magnolia Manor and would recommend it for a family vacation”.......Dianne Holloman, Quitman, MS |

The masterpieces of stone and concrete are the lifetime work of Brother Joseph Zoettl, a Benedictine monk of St. Bernard Abbey. Begun as a hobby, with various materials he could find, and infinite patience and a remarkable sense of symmetry and proportion, Brother Joseph re-created some of the greatest edifices of all time. http://www.avemariagrotto.com/ 256-734-4110 Shrine of the Most Belssed Sacrament When pilgrims visit the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament, many ask: "How did it all begin?" The answer to this question comes as a surprise to many ... the Lord used a business trip to bring about this marvel of His Divine Providence. Mother Angelica stood praying at the side of the statue when suddenly the miraculous image came alive and turned towards her. Then the Child Jesus spoke with the voice of a young boy: "Build Me a Temple and I will help those who help you." Thus began a great adventure that would eventually result in the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament, a Temple dedicated to the Divine Child Jesus, a place of refuge for all. After coming home from the trip, Mother Angelica shared this story with the nuns. At once, they began to look for land. After several months of searching, they came to Hanceville, Alabama. The property is an isolated piece of farmland almost completely surrounded by a river. It had previously been used to farm soybeans. From the very first moment that she set foot on the land, Mother Angelica says that she "felt the Presence of God very strongly." http://www.olamshrine.com/ Cullman County Museum Interactive displays and modern exhibits stand ready for you to experience the rich German heritage, native American lifestyles, adventure of early pioneers and Deep South folklore when you visit with us. http://www.cullmancountymuseum.com/ Evelyn Burrow Museum: The Burrow Museum houses a $9.5 million collection donated to Wallace State Community College by Evelyn Burrow of Cullman, Alabama.
