What a welcoming greeting to drive 4-1/2 hours to Opelika after a work & school day and see this really neat sight ! Our Host, Tyler, had a loaf of local artisan bread there awaiting our late arrival . All other amenities were there to accommodate our weekend stay .We were able to find this unbelievable place to settle in to attend the AU Game .
