1 Bedroom Cottage in Laurel

Stay in the Guest House of a Laurel home on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1909, the main house, Carriage House, and Guest House boast Mediterranean architecture on the City Beautiful's loveliest avenue. The newly renovated Guest House overlooks the back garden with its own gated entrance. Enjoy the private garden from two porch swings. Walk past some of HGTV’s Hometown houses to Laurel’s historic downtown or Lauren Rogers Museum of Art — both a block away.
The space
The Guest House is a stand-alone house behind the main house, separated by a garden. The garden can be explored or enjoyed from 2 porch swings. The entire estate is enclosed by lattice and iron fences. The house is of historic construction with heart-pine floors, high ceiling, and clay tile roof. It is a miniature of the main house, with a porch and four rooms: foyer, living room/kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. The living room and kitchen have nothing but outside shutters to filter the sunlight coming through three 6 1/2-foot-tall windows, making it look like lace. The antique and vintage living room furniture is perfect for afternoon tea. Enjoy the fully-outfitted kitchen and eating at the J. Parker table.
The bedroom is extra comfy with a queen adjustable bed and memory foam mattress. There is also a twin bed in the same room. Extra pillows and blankets in the closet. A walk-in closet provides plenty of space for hang-up clothes and suitcase. The antique furnishings and Victorian lamp feel like “home.” The triple-baffle blinds and to-the-floor curtains make this room snuggly; they can block out all light or let the light flood in! The sound of the fountain outside can be heard when all is quiet. The TV streams Sling TV, Amazon Prime, Brit Box, Masterpiece Theater and various other channels for after a long day of touring.
The bathroom is state-of-the-art European style. Ladies, nothing says “relax” like a bath in the footed slipper tub, then drying off with a towel from the towel warmer! The slipper tub is also convenient for bathing little ones with its hand-shower feature. The glass and tile shower (with handicap bar) was built with tall people in mind, sporting a 7-foot-tall shower head as well as hand shower. A front-load washer and dryer is there for your convenience; detergent provided. The remodeling of this house was completed in 2021.
Other things to note
There are 5 steps with no hand rail you must be able to walk up between the iron gate and the lattice gate. Additionally, there are 2 steps to get upon the porch and 3 steps into the house - both with hand rails.
Under no circumstances will pets or smoking be acceptable anywhere on the property. We have our own Samwise the bunny who hops around the garden freely, and my family is allergic to dog/cat hair and smoke. So please allow us to offer others a smoke-free, allergen free environment. We also do not allow parties, professional photo shoots, or any illegal activity on the property.
If you are expecting guests not registered on the rental agreement, please check with me first. An infant in addition to 3 registered guests is usually okay, but please let me know when making the reservation so I can provide what is needed.
When planning your trip, please note that many businesses and almost all eating places downtown are closed on Mondays. I have a studio apartment next door that sleeps 2 if your party is too large for the Guest House. Contact me to see if it is available.

Summary: This place was so amazing! We came for our nephew's wedding just a block away so we could walk to it. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and the property manager gave us a history lesson of Laurel. The bunnies running around the back yard were fun and porch swings were great to sit out on. House is incredibly sturdy as we had a storm that we barely felt.

The guesthouse was immaculate and her attention to detail was superb. We felt completely at home. We were in walking distance of the museum and the beautiful downtown neighborhood.

Summary: A wonderful place to relax, read, sit on the porch swing and listen to the water fountain while watching bunnies hop around the garden. It is a walkable area and the beautiful homes on the tree-lined streets are a sight to see. It is very close to downtown also. The host is gracious and has a lot of helpful information. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again!
