About this property

Southern Retreat at its Finest with King Bed En-suite and Antiques Galore!

A Southern retreat at its finest! Stay with us at our cottage close to Historic Downtown on a safe, breathtaking street of prestigious Laurel families and walking distance from Mason Park and Downtown. Only 3 small steps into the cottage takes you back to a slower, simpler way of life filled with toile and antiques. You will find that our 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom cottage has large pillow-top beds, Chef’s kitchen, original craftsman tile bathrooms, downstairs game room and cheerful patio. Our kitchen is gorgeous...it was remodeled by the Home Town crew! Welcome to our Home Town!

Driving down the street lined with majestic oaks, large magnolias and azaleas will take your breath away. Let Mason and Rose Cottage blur the ways of the world as you focus on family and friends. It is packed with all the charm and amenities that are sure to please everyone in your group, both big and small. It has many of the original things that we love – crank windows, hardwood floors throughout the house, brass door knobs, doors and screen doors that have been repurposed and the craftsman tile in the bathrooms. And we have modernized all the things that bring the most convenience – new fixtures, modern kitchen, air conditioner upgrade, hot water heater upgrade and Wifi.

Each space is the perfect combination of old and new, and together it is magical. The kitchen has been completely renovated by one of your Home Town favorites - Dustin, the Cabinet Guy or more formally DC Specialties - with a large gas stove and stunning cabinetry with an antique China cabinet as the focal point. The kitchen also has a coffee bar surrounded by metal tiles with amazing patina. We have stocked the cabinets with our favorite antiques, Pioneer Woman glasses, plates, kitchen utensils and pots and pans. This just adds to the enjoyment with beautiful, quality kitchenware. We also have a sonic-style ice machine just to the right of the sink. It’s a guest favorite!

The living room has a 55-inch TV with Xfinity, large tufted sofa, antique sideboard, Jacobean highboy and the original marble fireplace surround. We love decorating for holidays on this large mantle.

The large dining room seats 8 for those big gatherings.

The furnishing in the bedrooms were carefully selected to create a peaceful, Southern retreat. The master has a pillow top king bed with beautiful drapery and antique wall décor. The second bedroom has a pillow top queen and pillow top full bed (2 large beds!) with cheerful bedding. The third bedroom has a pillow top queen bed with the prettiest curtains and wall art tying it all together.

We are very focused and committed to clean. We wash ALL bedding (sheets and comforters) between each stay. We sanitize all hard surfaces and have Lysol products available for your use. We have an air purifier in the cottage. We also have antibacterial soap and hand sanitizer for you use.

Both bathrooms have new shower and sink fixtures, but the craftsman tile was kept for nostalgia and playfulness. The master bathroom has a rain and side shower head. All bathrooms have quality towels.

The patio has a cheerful feel overlooking a large, private backyard. There is also a creek behind the tree line that will be fun for the kids. There is an old iron playground slide that is usable now and our next project to repaint it.

We did our own HGTV-like project and cut the old front screen door going down to the game room/basement.

The game room is a really unique, shiplap space that is almost 1000 sq ft. There are plenty of board games and cards to enjoy while overlooking the patio and backyard. We hope your group enjoys spreading out on the rug and coffee table for game night. And the hand-crafted floors are made from torn up brown paper bags. What a bonus entertainment space!

Our beautiful pictures were taken by Randy from the Woodshop. Such a talented craftsman with photography too!

Our street is a beautiful, but busy street; you aren't able to park on the street. We recently poured 2 parking spots and moved the key pad to the front door, so it has easy parking and no flight of stairs to walk up. There are only 2.5 steps coming up to the front door. It’s a great place to stay if you have difficulty with stairs.

We will send the code a few days before your arrival. Press the Yale button and the key pad will illuminate. Enter the code and then press the "check" button at the bottom right. This will unlock it. Please note that we programmed the lock to autolock within 5 minutes if that hasn't been done.

Come visit Mason and Rose Cottage, a place where time stands still. Check in is at 4:00 PM or later on the day of arrival and check out is 11:00 AM or earlier on the day of departure. Thanks for considering us!

Perfect girls trip!

The house is on a nice large lot and felt private but still a quick trip to downtown. The beds are incredible! The kitchen is bright and spacious and the island was our hub for snacks, coffee and cocktails. If we visit Laurel again we would stay here.

Lovely home and owner

We enjoyed Rose & Mason cottage for a girls trip - three generations to celebrate mom’s 80th birthday. Communication with the owner was great. The home is lovely, spacious, and very clean. Kitchen is very well stocked and beds were super comfy. And, it’s less than 5 minutes from downtown. It made our visit to Laurel perfect.

At Home

We had such a wonderful stay at Mason and Rose Cottage. It felt like home! The gathering areas were so comfortable and gave us great opportunities for good conversation. The location was super. We had forgotten a few things and Walmart was so easy to get to ! The house was decorated in such a welcoming way and made us feel at home as soon as we arrived! We will be back for sure!!

Our Family needed to be in Laurel for a Family issue and needed a home setting. This location was amazing for us. Very clean and welcoming. The HUGE backyard was perfect to burn off energy of the young ones. We felt like we were staying with Family.

Lovely Home for a Visit to Laurel!

The home was immaculate, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. It was in a convenient location for our visit to Laurel. We especially enjoyed the scrapbook of before and after pictures regarding the renovation and the book collection. We also enjoyed sitting in the covered patio while we drank our coffee. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

We found Mason and Rose Cottage to be so comfortable and accommodating. It was spacious but cozy. Convenient to everything we did in Laurel. Well maintained. ( we enjoyed the before and after photos) The ice maker might have been our favorite part!

Loved our stay at Mason and Rose Cottage!

When we arrived we fell in love with the cottage and it’s decor. It just felt like coming home. The kitchen was beautiful with the large refrigerator and freezer, the large gas range, the coffee bar, and the pellet ice maker. I loved the vintage bathrooms. Everything was very welcoming and clean. I would definitely like to go back and stay longer than a weekend to enjoy more of Laurel and stay in this beautiful home.

Family Baby Shower

This was a multigenerational girl’s weekend coming from different states to meet, celebrate and have a baby shower for my daughter. The kitchen is beautiful and where we spent a lot of our time because it was so well lit. The beds and pillows were comfortable and clean. The starter packs of coffee at the coffee bar is a nice touch. Just to be aware that ice maker is not hooked up and working so we had to buy a bag of ice, the living and dining room is dark and it was stuffy in those 2 rooms with only one vent for those 2 rooms and we also had to wash everything once we got home because of the musty smell of the house.

Charming!

We had such a wonderful time staying in this lovely home. The kitchen is totally "tricked out" with an eat-in table, new cabinetry, quartz counters, a huge stove, massive fridge/freezer, and even a separate ice maker that makes the "good" ice (i.e. Sonic ice!). The bedrooms are very roomy with super comfy beds and pretty bedding. The baths are so sweet with 1920's era tile and fixtures. This is a very spacious, clean, charming home. Downtown Laurel is a 5 minute easy drive away. We loved our stay and hope to be back!

About the host

Hosted by Christina Hilton

Host profile image
Wife of an amazing husband and mother of two sweet girls. My husband grew up in Laurel, Mississippi and I grew up in South Louisiana - we are Louisiana Woman and Mississippi Man! We are excited to have a house in Laurel to share with our kids and guests, plus it's super close to Mimi and Papaw. We also have 3 cabins in Many, Louisiana on Toledo Bend lake - the halfway point between Laurel and Plano, where we now live.

Each place is special to us. We walk to Mason Park from Mason and Rose Cottage to see the amazing lights at Christmas time. At our Shady Oaks Cabins, we wander around the grounds finding critters and catching brim in Toledo Bend lake. Come explore OUR happy places!

Why they chose this property

The cottage just seems to take me back to a slower, simpler way of life, where the ways of the world get lost and we get to focus on time with family time and friends. I have always loved this street while visiting Laurel. There is something about a street lined with huge magnolias, majestic live oaks, azaleas and cash iron plants lining the flower beds. We feel very blessed to be owners of a cottage on it.

What makes this property unique

This cottage is the Southern escape that you are looking for. It is in a charming neighborhood that is surrounded by many grand houses.
