This home is everything it is represented to be. A wonderful historic home with lots of room and all the modern amenities you need. The grounds are very secluded and beautiful, with plenty of outdoor spaces for folks to gather. We sat around the outdoor fire table on a lovely night as we grilled steaks and ate right there. Grocery store is very close by, and it is an easy trip into Auburn. I highly recommend this property!

Relaxing getaway

This was the perfect place to land on a busy graduation weekend. It is close to town, yet quiet and secluded. We enjoyed morning coffee on the deck and cool evenings on the screened porch. The house was nicely sized for 3 couples. Thank you for hosting us!

Amazing home

We absolutely loved staying at your property this past weekend. It is such a lovely home with so much character. And you go over and beyond to provide the guests with a fully stocked home and comfortable beds and furniture. We will absolutely keep you in mind if we need to rent a place in Auburn in the future.

Perfect vacation spot!

The home was beautiful, comfortable and had everything needed for a great vacation. We had 7 people and everyone was comfortable and had plenty of room. It is close to the university which we easily traveled back and forth to but when we were at the house, we felt like we were in the woods and far from a city. We are already talking about returning next year. Amy is a great host and really easy to work with.

Thanksgiving

We had 10 family members from NY spend Thanksgiving weekend including the Iron Bowl game. Not one single complaint about this home and our terrific hosts. The house had everything provided as advertised and then some. We all would stay here again if the need arises. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience. WAR EAGLE- Nick

Most beautiful and relaxing get-a-way!!!

We met our kids and grandkids here for a week, we had a fabulous time! Powledge House is quiet, beautifully decorated, cozy and comfortable! We had a “goodie” sack awaiting us, stocked coffee bar, and new coloring/sticker books with new crayons and colored pencils for the kids! Accommodations were perfect for our family. Beautiful gardens, pond, and new deck. House is professionally decorated. Amy is great to work with and responded to all my questions. Wish we could’ve stayed longer, but we will be back! Thank you Amy!

Perfect spot for our wedding reception

My husband and I hosted our wedding reception here at the Powledge house. We had 50 guests, and it was PERFECT! The house was so warm and welcoming, and all of our guests were commenting on how great it looked. The yard was the perfect size for tents/tables to be set up and enjoyed. The details all around the house are so cute, from the flowers, to the interior decor. I enjoyed every single moment! It was a great memory that we will cherish forever. I would HIGHLY recommend the Powledge house and we hope to stay here again for many more years to come.

Auburn graduation

Our family stayed her for our daughters graduation. It was perfect...close enough to campus but still far enough away to get some peace and quite, which was so nice during such a busy weekend. We hosted brunch for our daughter and a few of her friends before graduation and there is plenty of room. Loved the at home feeling of the home. Lots of room to spread out. Owner was always helpful and quick with answers for any questions. Just wished we had discovered before graduation. When we come back we will definitely stay again. Our daughters and her friends loved it so much I see them renting in the future for many happy years of returns to their alma mater.

Amazing Graduation Weekend with family!

Powledge House is absolutely perfect for a family gathering (or Graduation Cookout)! We had the most amazing time celebrating our Auburn grad with family and friends. First, the setting is beautiful with manicured lawns, flowerbeds, a gazebo, pond and multiple patios around the house. The house is fantastic and extremely well stocked. There are two grills located near the gazebo which were fantastic for the family grill master to man! The kitchen has everything needed for a quiet night at home or even a larger gathering. The two main floor bedrooms are outfitted with king beds (very comfortable) and share a bathroom with large walk in shower. Upstairs has two queen beds and a bathroom as well. We had plenty of space to spread out even with two families. We also really loved being away from the busy-ness of Auburn with a quick drive in for events. Brian and Amy were great hosts and so helpful in planning our weekend.

Great Weekend (with one notable hiccup)

Overall, we were thrilled with the accommodations! The bedrooms were a perfect fit for our family of 10-12, plus a couple non-family extras. We are suckers for historical properties, and this one delighted us. Also loved the outdoor spaces and made great use of them. The one hiccup was that we had originally planned to use the grill and outdoor griddle. The grill needed charcoal, etc., which we didn't prepare for (our fault), but the griddle was rusty (and we didn't have time enough to clean it properly before meal time). So Plan B was to cook the meats in the oven, but, **NOTE TO MANAGER** the oven is not heating up to temperature. It took more than 3 hours to bake chicken breasts in the oven on 350F (which would only read out in Celsius), and the oven wouldn't actually offer any higher temp than the 350F. Then, it started giving "Error" and "Short Out" messages. (I'm trying to say that the oven is in need of repair or replacing.) The stove top performed just fine. We nonetheless enjoyed the property very much and have discussed returning!

Nice Auburn/Opelika house

Enjoyed our stay in this house. Plenty of space for our family, with an updated kitchen and bathrooms. Only 10 minute drive to downtown Auburn or the university. Quiet location and a beautiful screened porch to sit and watch the hummingbirds at the feeder.
