Great house for families!

We were in Auburn for our son’s graduation and had extended family with us. This house was perfect and felt so comfortable! We had everything we needed and enjoyed our stay very much! Communication with the host was easy, and the check-in/check-out procedure was super easy!

The BEST home in Auburn!

My family rented this home for Auburn graduation weekend. It was so comfortable, beautifully furnished, and came with every amenity we needed. We held a graduation party there, and the huge backyard and patio lent the perfect backdrop. Our hosts were wonderfully communicative and helpful. I feel like we made new friends! Very sad we only found this place for our last time in Auburn. Loved it.

Amazing place!

This home exceeded all expectations and set the bar for future vrbos very high. House is great with a lot of space and the property is fantastic - peaceful, private but close drive to Auburn. She was a great host and very responsive. Wish I could keep this gem to ourselves! We hope to stay here again!

Awesome game day home

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely property. Janine was prompt with her communications. We had extended family staying and there was plenty of room for all of us to be comfortable. The view of the lake is gorgeous. I highly recommend this property.

Wonderful home

The home was great, well equipped and peaceful. We were in Auburn for a wedding and this was a much better option than several hotel rooms. The home is large with several nice living areas, a great kitchen and wonderful back patio. Owners were very easy to work with and understanding. I would definitely stay there again.

Gorgeous setting...room for whole family and more

We came for my daughter's graduation from Auburn. This couldn't have been a better place for the 9 people that came. We wanted to all stay together and this was the best place. Had food brought in after graduation so we didn't have to mess with loud restaurants IF you could actually get a reservation anywhere. Had coffee and breakfast every morning outside on the covered patio with just absolute gorgeous backyard. Plenty of room for everyone. 5 bedrooms were perfect. I would highly recommend this if you're coming for graduation or a football game with a crowd. Janine couldn't have been more helpful. Very responsive as well!

AMAZING STAY!!!!!!

By far the best VRBO stay I have ever experienced! The house was beautiful and so comfortable! The setting was so peaceful!! Lots of things to do for everyone!! We all felt right at home and were able to stay together (3 families) which made my daughter's graduation perfect!! Janine was so easy and pleasant to work with, which was so important trying to coordinate everything from out of state!! I would definitely recommend this for anyone visiting Auburn!!!!

Perfect for large groups

We had a large group (12) for a football weekend at this property and it couldn't have been more perfect. Space is plentiful, I'd say the overall design of the house is classic and it's quite comfortable. The porch area is my favorite part of this house overlooking the lake. The backyard is big enough to throw some football. Janine hand-wrote a note to our group giving us a rundown of the property which was incredibly personable. She's an excellent host. - Plenty of parking space - Great privacy - Natural light - Lots of space to sit and lounge - Large living room - Outdoor fridge for beverages - Clean house - Big dining room table - Bedrooms are cozy TRAVEL: The Auburn Campus is about a 10-minute drive from this place. Transit stations are about a mile away at the Auburn Airport/Tiger Town.

Beautiful and tranquil Auburn getaway perfect for family gatherings during football or graduation!

We loved our experience at this Home Away location! The owners were amazing and we instantly felt right at home. We only stayed two nights for our daughters graduation from Auburn and no one was ready to leave when it was time to check out! Plan on eating in and enjoying the gorgeous backyard and amazing back porch! This house was a perfect rental for family all staying together for graduations or football weekends! We will defiantly rent here again when we come in for a home game!!
