This is our new favorite place. The guest house is roomy, it was very clean and the kitchen was stocked with unexpected amenities. The room darkening blinds in the bedroom windows made for great sleeping. Located in the historic district and in walking distance to downtown restaurants and shops. We enjoyed the swings on the porch and the bee and butterfly friendly gardens. Best of all, Dawn was a gracious and friendly host - just what one would expect of a Southern lady. She made our stay very pleasant. We highly recommend.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Dawn Marcellino’s property. It was exceptionally clean, beautifully organized, and exactly as described in the listing. Dawn was incredibly communicative and provided clear, easy-to-follow instructions for check-in and local recommendations. I really appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the home, which made my stay so comfortable and stress-free. Highly recommend!"

What an amazing little place! We were blown away by the true southern hospitality- it was better than some 4 star resorts I’ve stayed in. From friendliness to cleanliness it was as perfect. We were able to park and walk all over this cut little town and the evening sit on the porch swing and enjoy the beautiful courtyard. We hope to visit again soon!

This place truly deserves the reviews you see. It was very clean and the host was so welcoming. Dawn was sure to let us know about the town and just made sure the guest house was as pleasant a stay as it could be. Be sure to read the packet in the sitting room if you want to know about the town and what to do. The area around the house is wonderful to walk through and see all the old homes.

An Amazing Stay

Dawn and Jerry's Guesthouse was impeccable! It was quaint, warm and comfortable. We enjoyed spending time on the porch swing and visiting the bunnies. I was surprised at how close it was to downtown Laurel. Dawn was very accessible whenever we needed anything.

Lovely, private guest house

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!

Perfect Laurel Home

Such a cute, cozy little home -decorated so nicely, great extra touches like snacks and some breakfast goodies, adorable bunnies in the yard, porch swing, walking distance to old downtown, such pretty old craftsmen homes and big trees line the streets. We even saw the “Home Town” crew filming 3 doors down which was so cool. Dawn was such a welcoming host and gave us so much useful information and history of the area. Such a wonderful stay. So glad we were able to stay there.

Great location, walking distance to downtown and for viewing historic houses in the neighborhood. The museum is also just down the road. Dawn and her husband are fantastic hosts, some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. The house was spotless and exactly as the pictures show. I could go on and on, just book it; I promise you won't be disappointed.

Bucket trip for all things Hometown The historic cottage was surrounded by hometown renovation houses. Dawn made us feel so welcome. We loved sitting on swing drinking coffee and watching the bunnies hop around. The cottage was better than the pictures. Cozy and beautiful decor. Walkable to historic area. So great!!

Amazing & Peaceful Place

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.

When people speak of Southern hospitality, Dawn and Jerry are wonderful examples of just that! Their guest house is immaculate and well equipped with all modern conveniences. From a high end kitchen, comfortable bedroom and bathroom, to laundry facilities. Conveniently located in the historic district of Laurel Mississippi; we were able to walk and enjoy the downtown area to several restaurants, luxury shops and boutiques. Dawn made us feel like long time friends with her hospitality! She went out of her way to ensure our stay was comfortable and welcoming to the community. From listing activities going on while there to complimentary kitchen delights to snack on. We felt so welcomed! We would highly recommend the guest house as an extension of your Laurel experience.
