Welcome to Gertie Belle's at Bella Bella — a funky, glam one-bedroom apartment in the heart of downtown Laurel, with our favorite feature front and center: a huge wall of windows running the length of the unit, serving up the best views of the downtown action from sunrise to the last porch lights.
The entire apartment is yours: one bedroom with a king bed, a spacious bathroom, a full kitchen, a washer and dryer, and a living space layered with fun original art and bright velvet furnishings that make the whole place feel like a celebration. Morning coffee comes with a downtown view; evenings end with the lights of Laurel out your window.
Step outside and you're already there — walking distance to Laurel Mercantile Co., the Scotsman General Store, the restaurants and shops of the historic district, and everything else that brings Home Town fans and weekenders to Laurel. No car needed once you arrive (heads up: the apartment is up a flight of stairs).
Gertie Belle's is a natural fit for a couple's getaway or a girls' weekend headquarters — and if your group needs more room, ask us about our other downtown Laurel suites and lofts so everyone stays within a block or two.
Professionally managed by Stay'ca, a local, family-owned team: quick responses, hotel-grade cleaning, and local recommendations whenever you want them.
✅ This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $300 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $39 for stays under 7 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 7 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional.
To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.
