The Veranda B&B - Meet the Innkeepers

John and Carole Magnuson purchased the property in late February, 2007. They have done extensive redecorating and exterior work in progress. Within a month of moving in, they have served many guests. John, who plays the organ beautifully, was a printer the majority of his life, while Carole worked in the corporate world and ran several businesses through her own entreprenurial talents. John and Carole are not new to the hospitality industry, as they had owned and operated a 31-unit resort/motel in Wisconsin for 10 years while raising their four children. They knew someday that they wanted to get back into the hospitality business, but on a smaller scale. After years of research and looking at many properties in the Southeast, they found what they were looking for: a quaint bed and breakfast within walking distance of a beautiful town square in the friendly town of Paris, Tennessee.
