Pigeon House is a Great Location
Great, walkable location! Cute, clean, updated home. We were able to walk to restaurants and sites we came for. I even recognized a couple of the homes Erin & Ben renovated on the same street. The Host had great recommendations. Highly recommend.

Perfect location for fans of Hometown
Although not a Ben & Erin remodel, this property is in the heart of the area where a lot of their remodels have been done. This property feels new & old at the same time with lots of shiplap. You will feel like you are staying on set of a Magnolia/HGTV show. Just make sure you walk the neighborhood, dine in downtown, and enjoy Laurel's hospitality.

The Pigeon House was GREAT!!!!!
The Pigeon House was a great place for me to relax and let go of the stress of the world. It was the right size for one person - far better than a hotel room! The fully furnished kitchen allowed me to cook or warm up leftovers. I felt at home mainly because I felt safe. All questions I had were answered via text or phone call. The owner takes good care of the property. I will definitely return to "my get away".

Perfect Home Away From Home
This place was perfect in every way. The furniture in the living area was very practical and quite comfortable. The bed was a king which is necessary for us and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need. It was the perfect home away from home for us. We will be back!
