Misled Property
It was a stay that did not happen but ultimately probably for the best. Property was not as “charming” as described. Yard unkept and lacked maintenance. Homeless people on the street, would not have felt safe on the outdoor chairs or porch during day and especially evening. Property was laid out odd. 2BR,2 Bath, with one via the kitchen? VRBO description needs updated, the Bird Dog Cafe was vacant and up for sale. A tour guide told us it’s gone thru several owners. It’s also not a short walk to downtown shops, or at least not the popular ones. Both of these descriptions attracted us to the house, neither existed. Non reachable host, inaccurate door code upon anrrival and non-operable a/c resulted in us not staying at property. Per host a/c was corrected which was good for the sake of next occupant but the other property inadequacies mentioned above would still have been existent. Initial taste of small town hospitality was not good. Happy to say the next day was better. Enjoyed our new accommodations even though it cost us twice what we had budgeted due to no refund by Owner. :(

Simply the Best!
The cottage was lovely. From the minute we stepped over the threshold, we felt content and relaxed! Our hosts thought of everything to make our stay perfect. The location is fantastic - just a short walk to everything....rain or shine!! It was hard to pack up and leave.

Charming House - Perfect Location
The charming "Mayhaw Place" house is the perfect location for all things in Laurel. You felt like you were at home. The house was immaculately clean and thoughtfully decorated. Tina and Dale were wonderful hosts. Our trip to Laurel was to celebrate our 33rd anniversary. Laurel was much more than we expected and we thoroughly enjoyed our four days in this beautiful friendly town. We highly recommend the "Mayhaw Place', our wonderful hosts, and Laurel for fun and good food. I see a 'girls' trip soon for me!Dale & Paula BBeaumont, TX

Fabulous!
This is the cutest cottage! So cozy and comfortable. Everything you need was provided. It felt like home. Very clean and close to everything we had planned to do. The porch swing is an added plus! Tina is a great host and so easy to communicate with. She even allowed us to stay the next day because it was available. Which was nice to be able to come back and rest between shopping and tours and before our trip back home. I would definitely stay here again.

Lovely Laurel
So glad I finally got to visit Laurel. What a cute town and this charming cottage was the perfect place to stay. Great location to be able to walk to downtown and loved having the Bird Dog across the street. Delicious cocktails. The house is beautifully decorated and my husband and I loved each having our own bathroom. I would highly recommend!
