Football Weekend

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Guesthouse. The hosts were so kind and helpful. There was plenty of room for us (two couples) and the outdoor screened porch and outdoor patio were fabulous. The location is not too far from campus and just a couple blocks away from beautiful downtown Opelika. Our only suggestion would be for there to be a door on the bedroom half bath (or at least a folding panel screen) for privacy.

Cutest little getaway

Laurie’s home is super cute and has everything we needed for our stay! Good lighting in the bathrooms for getting ready, nice little den to watch tv, and very inviting backyard and closed in back porch! Highly recommend!

Basic VRBO - friendly & helpful owner

Property was clean and owner accommodating. Location great and pretty area. The house is 1.5 bath and bathroom needs updating and another full bath. We had a leaky faucet that she fixed quickly. There’s no water pressure in shower which will hopefully get fixed. I’d stay there again with those things fixed

Great Fit!

This attractive, clean, and comfortable house was real haven for the extended stay needs of these two seniors. The entire place has obviously been designed to make guests very comfortable with many small touches in every room. The space is nicely divided with a den plus living room as well as three very comfortable bedrooms. The kitchen is just right for meal preparation and eating space, and contains very nice appliances and plenty of supplies. The back yard is a haven of tall trees, two patio areas, and lovely pots of flowers. The home is a 5-minute drive to charming downtown Opelika and 10 minutes to downtown Auburn. Highway 85 is 5-10 minutes away for anyone needing a rest stop while traveling from the coast northward. The best part though, is experiencing the highest level of southern hospitality from the owners who live next door. They are very responsive with any questions or concerns, and know the area well. You will leave feeling warmed by their kindness.

About the host

Hosted by Laurie Tate

I grew up in Opelika, we both graduated from Auburn University and after moving around the south and mid-west for 27 years we decided to settle back in my hometown. You will find the area very friendly with a slow pace, yet many activities to choose from. If you like college sports, you have found the right place...WAR EAGLE! If you love golfing, look no further, we have some of the most fabulous courses around and are home to one of The Robert Trent Jones golf course. Love to antique? Enjoy riding on backroads and finding many hidden treasures. Come enjoy your stay and quickly find out why Opelika has been voted as one of the best places to retire! Welcome!

Why they chose this property

We bought the home I grew up in and love the wooded feel of the lot and the older homes. The house next door to us became available and we bought it to use and share as a guest house to those wanting to enjoy the area of Opelika and Auburn.

What makes this property unique

You will love the larger, wooded lots and the charm of the older homes. The location is perfect for Auburn game days and any other activities you wish in this historic railroad town.
