Woodland Cottage on Hidden Pond

TRANQUILITY best describes this unique property located just minutes from the heart of downtown Laurel and 1/2 mile to the Laurel Sportsplex. Stress immediately melts as you drive through the gated entrance and travel the tree-lined driveway to this charming cottage nestled among acres of woodlands on a small pond. Recent updates include: fresh paint, new furniture including a king-size bed, new bedding, all new appliances, wifi, two smart TVs, and a full-sized sofa bed with a memory foam mattress. This property is fully equipped with everything you could need for an enjoyable stay. Love outdoor dining and grilling? Try out the large Big Green Egg, we supply everything you need including briquettes, grilling tools and even an instruction book with recipes! Enjoy peaceful walks through the woods or around the pond, the host even supplies you with two fishing rods and a tackle box so come rest and enjoy!

Please note: This property has steps to enter the cottage and one small step into the bath and kitchen areas so it is NOT wheelchair accessible.

MORE INFO:
This is a private and restful property. You will enjoy the cozy and well-appointed cottage as well as the outdoor areas that include a delightful deck with two rockers, a dining table with umbrella and four chairs and a large Big Green Egg for grilling! There are also acres of woodlands to explore with plenty of additional outdoor seating spaces around the pond.

Because this property is so close to the city limits it is only a short drive to great restaurants, shopping, and all downtown Laurel has to offer. Once back at the cottage, enjoy the peace of a quiet evening on the delightful deck while listening to the crickets and frogs from the comfortable porch rockers. This place is also the perfect spot for enjoying a great novel or maybe even writing one!

Need to do a little work, no problem! The small dining table in the living room expands and it is perfectly positioned for guests to enjoy beautiful views of the pond while finishing a work project.

The coffee bar has a Cuisinart coffee machine that is dual-purpose: single-serve KCups are available or brew a full pot! The host provides KCups and coffee condiments for up to a 5-day stay! Bring your own ground coffee if you like to prepare full pots.

A Blue Pure Max air purifier was recently added!

Guests enjoy full access to the entire property and grounds. There are NO SHARED SPACES and you will feel totally safe with the coded/gated entrance as well as the secure keyless entrance into the cottage. Guests will be provided codes several hours prior to their arrival time.

*** The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need including: cutting boards, mixing bowls, baking pans, cooking pots, skillets, a slow cooker, Instapot, pizza stone, sharp knives, toaster, wine opener, wine glasses, blender and so much more! We also provide a roll of paper towels, food wrap, dishwasher detergent and laundry soap!

A Real Five Star
Lee is an amazing host, he had deer sausage in the freezer, condiments, coffee and assorted creamers. He even had bite size variety chocolates in a bowl, milk, cheese and Coca Cola products including bottled water. Now I know what a real five star rating looks like. The property is beautiful, Lee even had fishing worms available and the poles ready for fishing in his pond. We will be back and appreciate the stay. The tv even had YouTube tv programmed, so we didn’t have to input our subscription information. Again, a real five star place and host.

Awesome property
This property is the cleanest and most comfortable property we have ever stayed in. The host provides way more than what you will find in any other location. There were drinks, snacks,coffee. The kitchen and bathroom were well stocked as was the laundry. If you want a place to relax and unwind this is it.

Anniversary Stay
Lee, the Cabin on the Hidden Pond was fabulous! The drive into the gate and down the lane was so picturesque! Everything was exactly like your photos. Your thoughtfulness of the treats and milk so kind. We loved the town and people of Laurel. Great places to eat and lots to enjoy! I got some beautiful pictures of fog above the pond on two mornings. We loved our time there. Got lots of walking on lane and trails. So quiet and peaceful. Thanks again! Carolyn & Gary Schoof

Beautiful!
This place was wonderful! The location was perfect and the setting was outstanding. The house was very clean and comfortable and was looking right out on a pond. Lee was a fantastic host and made us feel right at home! Had snacks for us, fishing poles, and worms! Could not have asked for a better place to stay!

Quiet getaway but still close to town
We could not have enjoyed our stay more… other than if we had stayed longer. The host has thought of so many extra touches, even a Green Egg grill… which we used to grill steaks and eat in one night while admiring the pond and scenery. He even left my husband some fishing worms and fishing poles. If you choose this cottage, you should not be disappointed.

Absolutely Idyllic
If I could give this beautiful vacation cottage 11 stars, I would. It was absolutely clean, quiet, well-appointed and superbly stocked with anything we could have asked for or wanted for our week away. Communication with our host was A++. He even had fresh worms ready for my hubby to use for fishing in the pond and mid-week housekeeping to freshen up the cottage. This was a fun week away from Minnesota’s cold and snowy weather. We timed it right with an our trip to Laurel, MS. Thank you Lee for such lovely accommodations. Vaughn & Liz

Hidden Gem on Hidden Pond
There are no words to express the beauty of this little gem! Our first visit to MS from Las Vegas was made perfect by the warmth, comfort and seclusion of this adorable cabin home. Everything was clean, doors were secure, the private gated entrance was a great layer of security, and all amenities were provided! The snack cabinet was a bonus and we appreciated the creamer in the fridge for our arrival! We fished multiple times a day and caught several bass and blue gill. The bait was fresh and the poles were handy. This was like walking into a postcard. We are already planning our return! Thank you, Lee!

Our Christmas holiday with family was made complete with the wonderful accommodations in Laurel provided by Lee. From the welcoming holiday decorations to the charm and amenities of the cottage design, we felt right at home. It’s a very special place and the best compliment I can give is that we hope to return again and again.

Diamond in the rut
Let me start by saying “I am picky picky picky” and can’t stand staying somewhere where it is obvious a million other people have been. I enjoy walking into a place and it not just look clean but smells and feels clean and looks like a place that was made ready for me by a family member. You know, as if I myself had gotten it ready. THIS was that. This is an absolutely precious and beautiful place! Lee has gone above and beyond to make this a home away from home. The picture windows enhanced the natural beauty of the property as you are able to sit in the living room and see all the beauty of the outdoors including the lake while relaxing. Almost everything you could think of needing in a home. After enduring nastiness with 4 out of the 7 VRBO’s we booked for our two week vacation tour, Lee more than made up for all their short comings with this one. This is a diamond in the rut! Thank you Lee!!
