Known for its charm and hospitality, Picayune, Mississippi rests just 40 miles north of the historic and flavorful city of New Orleans. In the very heart of this quaint southern community sits one of its founding residents—LaBelle!!

Constructed in 1904 (the same year Picayune received its charter), LaBelle stands as a beautiful example of turn of the century architecture. She embraces 12′ ceilings, a 12′ main hallway hosting three large bedrooms, a formal dining room, four fireplaces and 8′ windows.

Little is known about the original owners however; historic records show that the home was used as a private residence, boarding house and even offered brunch to Sunday worshipers from the near by churches.

Keeping with her boarding house roots of comfort and hospitality, Penny and Lyndon Glaesman opened LaBelle’s; Picayune’s first and only Bed and Breakfast!


If you are looking to carry on the tradition, this glorious home would make a great location for your bed and breakfast!
