We. Love, Dogs.
Our 3 townhomes were named after our own dogs and grand-dog. We want them to be comfortable too. Pup accessories provided are their own water bowl, treats, a blanket for the furniture or bed, and the necessary poop bags. Our daughter always loves when we visit.... but more so when her dog visits.

We would LOVE to have you come visit! Our empty-nesting venture is to enjoy watching our kids become adults and treasuring time with them. We think we've created 3 townhomes in Auburn, AL that help you do just that.
WAR EAGLE!
Kim and Jason (and Caddy, Evie, and Jet)

Solid location, great host

I was in town with some friends for a golf weekend. This spot is close enough to walk to campus and downtown Auburn without being so close that you’re dealing with the traffic. The place itself was very clean and comfortable. That back patio was a great spot for sharing some drinks and laughs. The hosts were super communicative and helpful in ensuring we were able to get in and had everything we needed.

Charming home in AU

My family was in Auburn for baseball and we could not have been happier with this rental and would definitely stay here again in the future. We also brought our dogs and they loved the backyard! Our host was very accommodating and communicated well. The house was newly updated and was very quaint and comfortable and beds were comfy and loved all the AU artwork. It was the perfect home away from home!
