About this property

Incognito #1: Ground Floor / Steps from the Scotsman General - Downtown Laurel

The Incognito #1 is located steps from The Scotsman General Store and very convenient walking distance from downtown. Enjoy a stylish ground floor experience at this centrally-located AirBNB. The Incognito #1 is located in a historic building built in the 1940's that was originally a mechanic shop. This unit is newly finished. Included is a 1 Bedroom (1 King), 1 Bath ( Shower / Bath tub), Oven, Refrigerator, Dishwasher, Microwave.

With this unit you will experience what made Laurel, Laurel. As you look out the unique architectural windows, you will have access to the rail line that gave Laurel its prominence while also carrying musicians and artists to New Orleans, Chicago, and all along the eastern coastal cities. We are very excited to share this experience with our guests. You will hear the train / Amtrak and also see its daily travels and enjoy the sites that it brings.

* Just as a note, the train tracks are located to the east. So you will hear the train occasionally. Also of note, most all of the AirBNB's in the Downtown Area are located so that you will hear the train. It is just one of the unique aspects of Downtown Laurel.

This was a great little place! Super convenient to downtown Laurel, as well as the more bustling city center. The perfect amount of room for my husband and I. Lots of charm, I love that they left some of the mechanic shop architecture. It was well appointed with a specious kitchen, large bedroom and bathroom, and plenty of seating for us to spread out. Eric was very quick to respond to my questions. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Laurel and would highly recommend it to others.

Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re really glad you enjoyed the space and its unique character—keeping some of the original mechanic shop charm is one of our favorite things about it too. It’s great to hear the layout, kitchen, and overall comfort worked well for your stay. We truly appreciate you mentioning the location and communication as well—it means a lot. You both were wonderful guests, and we’d love to host you again anytime you’re back in Laurel!

Best place to stay in Laurel.

Location was perfectly out of the way, but close to everything. We intentionally picked this place as it had good proximity to where we were focused on. It is very unassuming from the exterior, but the interior was 5 star. Great hosts, awesome accommodations. Would highly recommend.
