Nice park within walking distance. Only 1 mile to downtown, and Garcia's Donuts! Definitely recommend this place." - "We just stayed one night as we were traveling through, but it was perfect! I would definitely stay there again. Location is perfect-close to downtown and right in the neighborhood of the beautiful tree-lined streets. Beautiful upstairs house that had been updated."

- "GREAT" - "The Mississippi Author's Suite at the Artisan in downtown Laurel was perfect for our weekend getaway. Exactly as advertised, exceptional customer service and within walking distance to charming shops and restaurants in downtown Laurel. As fans of the HGTV show, we wanted the full Laurel/Mississippi/Historic Reno experience and we got it in the beautiful, yet simply appointed Author's Suite. Apartment is clean and new, living area is cozy and bedroom invites a comfortable night's sleep. Location is A+ as it sits on the edge of the historic downtown, allowing you to start your day at the Coffee and Tea Shop, meander through all the shops downtown and end the evening with dinner and a visit for ice cream at the Creamery, without ever retracing your steps or using your car. We extended our walk to the historic 5th Ave homes and Museum - not an inconvenience given the Author's Suite location. Highly recommend a Monday-through-Thursday arrival to this property and enjoy the following two complete days of soaking-in the charm and history of Laurel. (Much of downtown Laurel is closed Sunday/Monday) We really appreciate the work put into the design/creation of The Author's Suite and would be delighted to stay here again."

Enjoy the best views of Downtown Laurel in this funky, glam apartment. Gertie Belle’s at Bella Bella is great for a couple or the perfect girls weekend get-a-way. It features one bedroom with 1 king bed and a spacious bathroom, full kitchen and living space. But, our favorite feature in this unit isn’t just the fun original art and bright velvet furnishings but also the huge wall of windows the length of the unit. We promise the best views of all the downtown action. You have use of entire apartment! You have the option of face to face check in or self check in. A code will be sent by Airbnb but Liz or Emily are never far! In the heart ❤️ of downtown!!! Walking distance to everything, great restaurants, shops and all attractions! Most everything is walking distance and you can also drive if you choose! I’m working on getting bikes for rent if you’d like let me know!!

The Buzzard’s Roost Inn
Featured on HGTV’s Home Town | Renovated by Ben & Erin Napier
Location
Located in the heart of Downtown Laurel, Mississippi, The Buzzard’s Roost Inn is a truly one-of-a-kind place to stay. Relax in one of our Crescent Line-themed rooms before setting out to explore the charming downtown area you’ve come to love on HGTV’s Home Town.
The inn is newly built on the second floor of the 100-year-old Lott Furniture Building and features unique design details you won’t find anywhere else in Laurel.
With five total rooms—two king suites, two queen rooms, and a cozy common area with seating and a kitchenette—each space is thoughtfully curated to reflect a stop along the historic Crescent Line Railroad, which still runs daily from the station just across the street.
Explore Downtown Laurel
Downtown Laurel is a walkable, welcoming town filled with one-of-a-kind shops, locally-owned restaurants, and the kind of hospitality only a small Southern town can offer.
Whether you're on the hunt for antiques, Home Town souvenirs, a casual lunch, or classic Southern cooking, it’s all just steps from your room.
Room Feature: The Birmingham Room
The Birmingham Room features a queen bed and private bathroom, styled to capture the character and spirit of Birmingham, Alabama.
Guests Enjoy Access To
Their own private room and bathroom
In-room mini fridge, microwave, and Keurig
Smart TV for signing into your favorite streaming apps
A shared common area with lounge and kitchenette
A guaranteed 24-hour host response time for any questions or assistance
Policies & Procedures
Self-Service Inn
Please note that we are not a full-service hotel. This means there is no front desk or on-site staff at all times. However, our friendly property manager, Troy, is just a message away and available to assist you with anything you may need.
You can reach Troy via text, call, email, or messaging through your booking platform (Lodgify, Airbnb, or VRBO/HomeAway).
Before your stay: We guarantee a response within 24 hours. If we’re assisting other guests, please leave a voicemail or send a message—we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
During your stay: Troy will respond as quickly as possible, though replies may be slower during evenings and weekends.
For emergencies: Please call 911 or refer to the emergency contact numbers provided in your guest guide (available in the Lodgify app and in each room).
Check-In / Check-Out and Property Access
Check-in: Anytime after 3:00 PM
Check-out: Anytime before 10:00 AM
Access: Self check-in with door codes (instructions provided before your stay)
Please note: Early check-in or late check-out cannot generally be accommodated, as our housekeeping team needs sufficient time to prepare rooms for incoming guests. Unauthorized early check-in or late check-out may result in a $50 fee charged to the card on file.
Parking
Free long-term parking directly in front of The Buzzard’s Roost Inn
Additional free parking available throughout downtown
Luggage Help
We do not offer formal luggage service but are happy to assist with arrangements when possible. Please notify us before your stay.
Housekeeping
Our team cleans between each guest stay for maximum guest privacy.
We keep rooms well stocked and spares of most things in the shared common area, but should you need anything else, you can reach out to our property manager who will arrange that as soon as possible.
If you would like a light cleaning/tidying during your stay (bed made, etc.) let us know before your stay, and we will arrange it at no additional cost.
Noise Notice
Our inn is located across from an active train line. While many guests enjoy the unique charm of this setting, you may hear local music, voices, or the train during your stay.
Rooms include white noise machines, and we do our best to minimize disruption.
Pets & Service Animals
We do not allow pets at this time.
However, service animals are welcome.
Please notify us at booking so we can prepare. Guests are responsible for any damages and must kennel animals when not present.
Smoking Policy
No smoking of any kind is permitted inside the building.
Our facility has a commercial sprinkler system and smoke detection in every area.
Smoking indoors may result in fines and/or damage charges.
Accessibility
Unfortunately, we do not have an elevator. Please be aware before booking that access to The Buzzard’s Roost Inn is by stairwell only.
We’ve received many questions about accessibility and ADA compliance, and we want to be fully transparent.
As a business—and more importantly, as humans—we never want anyone to feel forgotten or excluded. We understand that not all guests can comfortably or safely climb stairs with luggage.
Our decision not to install an elevator was not taken lightly. The building is over 100 years old—so old, in fact, that we don’t know the exact year it was built.
Because of its age and structural limitations, the building cannot support a new interior elevator shaft. An exterior installation would require construction in the uneven back alley behind the building, where there is no available parking and limited accessibility. Guests would have to walk from Oak Street across unpaved ground to reach an outdoor elevator—something that, at this time, is not financially feasible or safe to implement.
That said, it is our hope that in the coming years, we will be able to make meaningful changes to improve accessibility within the Inn.
Regarding ADA Compliance
§ 36.404 Alterations: Elevator exemption
(a) This section does not require the installation of an elevator in an altered facility that is less than three stories or has less than 3,000 square feet per story, except with respect to any facility that houses a shopping center, a shopping mall, the professional office of a health care provider, a terminal, depot, or other station used for specified public transportation, or an airport passenger terminal.
We fall under this exemption, as The Buzzard’s Roost Inn is less than 3,000 square feet per story and less than three stories tall.
If you have questions or concerns about accessibility, please don’t hesitate to reach out—we’ll do our best to help however we can.
Damage Deposit
A $100 pre-authorized damage deposit is required at booking and released within 3 days of checkout.
Fees may apply for:
Unauthorized late checkouts ($50)
Irreparably stained towels or linens ($15)
Missing or damaged items (costs vary)
Cancellations & Refunds
Cancel 30+ days before arrival: 100% refund
Cancel 14–29 days before arrival: 50% refund
Cancel within 13 days of arrival: No refund
Please note: Credit card processing and booking platform fees (2–6%) are non-refundable for direct bookings.
Bar
We’ve made the difficult decision to close The Buzzard’s Roost Bar.
While we’ll miss serving you, rest assured there are plenty of great spots for food and drinks just a short walk away. You’ll find some of our favorite local recommendations listed in the guest guide provided in each room.
Final Thoughts
We are a small, dedicated team and appreciate your patience and understanding as we strive to provide a unique and memorable experience.
Our inn blends Southern hospitality with self-service convenience, and we are always just a message away if you need help.
Thank you for considering a stay at The Buzzard’s Roost Inn—we can’t wait to welcome you to our hometown.

- "We were on our way to check out Gulf Shores, and decided we were sort of in the neighborhood, so we booked a stay. We walked everywhere! Cute downtown shops, but the weather was cool and it was Easter weekend, so a lot of places were not open. We loved the room! Easy check in. Comfortable bed. Spacious bathroom. Felt historic!" - "What a fun spot! So quaint and charming. Easy walk to local shops downtown. One thing to note - Sunday is a very quiet day in Laurel but we loved hanging out in the room and getting some much needed down time. The bar downstairs had great music Saturday night and the staff were very welcoming."

- "Loved the property. Convenient to everything in Laurel. Only nit in listing is it should indicate that there is a pretty long set of stairs for only access. Knew it was upstairs but frankly did not think was it stairs or elevator. Was not a problem for us this year but might be in the future. " - "Quick short stay. Bed is SUPER soft. Not a complaint but just too soft for my husband and I. Beautiful lodgings and so unique." - "What a fun spot! So quaint and charming. Easy walk to local shops downtown. One thing to note - Sunday is a very quiet day in Laurel but we loved hanging out in the room and getting some much needed down time. The bar downstairs had great music Saturday night and the staff were very welcoming."
