The Loft at The Laurel Leaf

Historic Loft located above The Laurel Leaf, one of Laurel's most charming and unique businesses. Its open, stylish space offers visitors a tasteful downtown experience. The loft also sits only steps away from HGTV Home Town stars Ben and Erin Napier's Laurel Mercantile Co and is in walking distance to other small-town favorites! Soon after Laurel was established in 1882, it quickly began growing in the lumber industry. By the early 20th century, it processed and shipped out the most yellow pine in the world. This pine formed what is known today as The Laurel Leaf building. From the colorfully comfortable entrance to the beautifully furnished bedrooms, the loft boasts a chic 2500 square feet with a warm and sophisticated atmosphere. Over the years, many businesses have occupied this building. Built in 1904, it opened as a HUB store (general merchandise store), then became the first Piggly Wiggly in Laurel. Later, the store became the annex to a high-end retail store known as Fine Brothers, and then became Smith & Son, a retail clothing store. The Laurel Leaf is open Tues-Sat, 9am-5pm. Guests will have access to the entire loft. I will respond as soon as possible, usually within an hour. The Loft is located directly across from the Amtrak Station. For visitors staying at the loft, there is free parking at the front or back of the building. I will always provide water, soft drinks, snacks, and various food items. Wine is available upon request. I will also make special grocery runs upon request. The Loft does not have any windows.
