These Tiny Cabins Outside of Laurel, Mississippi, are Officially on Our Bucket List
If binge-watching HGTV's Home Town is the highlight of your social-distanced days, we've found the vacation spot for you. Right outside of Laurel, Mississippi, the charming town Ben and Erin Napier call home, The Cabins at Brookside Barn are cute enough to get any HGTV fan to turn off the TV for the weekend.
Tucked away just 20-minutes from downtown Laurel, the secluded property is surrounded by acres of Southern pines and well-manicured grounds. The four on-site cabins named "Home Sweet Home," "Hey Y'all," "Lakeside Pines," and "Bless Your Heart" sleep 6, 8, or 10 people in upscale yet rustic "glamping" fashion. The collection of cottages can be rented individually or all at once, allowing extended families to vacation together yet apart with socially-distanced fun outside and completely separate living quarters inside.
Ideal for an unplugged weekend, the space is equipped with fire pits, swings, grills, and picnic tables begging for some quality family time. There are fishing spots on nearby Leaf River for guests equipped with a boat and spacious cabin porches prime for an afternoon read. Plus, the property also offers wedding and event services. It's a match made in heaven for any bride with dreams of a barn-style celebration for her post-pandemic nuptials.
You can also head on over to Laurel and find all sorts of small-town fun on Main Street or hunt down some of the renovated homes that once left you sitting on the edge of your sofa seat for hours on end. On the way back, be sure to make a pit stop in Ellisville, Mississippi. The property has a coffee shop and gift store on Front Street that's well worth a visit.
