- "Great location, wonderful cabin and nice common area for outside space. Will definitely look to stay here again for football season. " - "We were in town for an admitted student tour and appointments with advisors. We wanted to be in the "heart of downtown" and the location of this cottage was perfect. It was an easy few block walk to shops, restaurants, and the university. We also loved that it had a monitored/dedicated parking lot behind the unit so we never had to worry about parking. The unit is absolutely a perfect setup for 3-4 people. The main bath is upstairs with very nice fixtures. All the linens were provided and nice. There is a half bath on the main level which was a huge help in facilitating morning routines for our family. The kitchen is small bot nicely appointed with nice appliances, dishes, pots/pans, utensils, etc.... there is also a coffee maker with provided coffee, cream and sugar. The provided coffee was pretty good and I din't feel a need to purchase anything different from the grocery store. Little details to note:1. there are ample plugs throughout for charging2. a hairdryer is provided3. there is a small kitchen table and 4 chairs4. If you are traveling during cold weather, bring socks and a sweater..... here is a pretty significant temperature difference between the second floor (warm) and main level (cold). The heat never really dispersed evenly downstairs. We were glad there were plenty of blankets around to us5. One Smart TV on main level 6. There are nice size closets in both rooms - but no dressers ands nightstands are small. No space to set things"

Close proximity to everything!" - "We stayed for a camp at Auburn. It fit our needs perfectly. Nice floor plan and very clean." - "I hate to leave a glowing recommendation because I don't want anyone to know about this place....so hopefully, it will be available whenever I need it! This place was fantastic and so comfortable. VERY convenient to campus. Owners were super easy to communicate with and check in and out was a breeze. Even my 18 year old son commented that this place was a touchdown."

Picture this…
You’ve traveled to Auburn for a game, to enjoy some peace and quiet, and/or to visit your favorite student. You pull up, park in the driveway, and walk in the door. You immediately feel peace and calmness. You walk out the back door. You sit down on the patio, take a deep breath, listen to the rustling of the wind in the trees, and realize you’ve picked the perfect place for your stay. Now that’s the picture you want to see, isn’t it?
Welcome to the Cozy White Cottage! War Eagle!
- "When my daughter first decided to attend Auburn, I went on VRBO to try and find a place to stay before we moved her into her dorm. I don’t know how I was lucky enough to find this gorgeous cottage, but I’m so glad I did! Literally from the time we completed our reservation, Linda was responsive. When I learned that my daughter’s move in date changed, Linda adjusted my reservation without additional fees. Then the week before we scheduled to stay at the cottage, Linda asked if we had any favorite snacks or drinks. After a long day of travel, we arrived and found cute basket packed with delicious snacks and thoughtful touches, including some Auburn cups! The house itself is so beautiful- it was SO clean, the beds were all made, there were plenty of hangers in the closet, fans in the bedrooms, and the décor was beautiful. Another great perk was that we were so close to campus! Linda was a wonderful hostess and I hope that we can stay in her home again on a future visit!"

- "This tiny house/cottage was perfect for visiting my student at Auburn. Every "basic" need was supplied, and the cottage had lovely "extra" touches - like incredibly soft throw blankets on the living room sofa - that made it a really enjoyable stay. The spaces were well thought out, and the finishes made it seem like you could have been in a 5-star hotel - but with more room to spread out and relax. The only improvement I would suggest would be for the management to make sure that a number is clearly listed in the welcome email for any weekend or after hours emergencies (like an access code not working.)"

Imagine yourself relaxing in this newly remodeled home just 6.4 miles from both Auburn`s campus & downtown Opelika! You will soak in the serenity from our cozy cottage porch overlooking a tree swing & pond where you can fish, paddle & ponder life. Our quaint home has beds for 14, so come with your fav people to experience it all together! Enjoy the patio, grill, front porch swing, pecan orchard, & pond with ducks and paddleboat. The unique climax: a scenic ride on our vintage firetruck!
Our newly remodeled farmhouse near The Loveliest Village on the Plains (only 6.4 miles from the AU campus!) offers special outdoor spaces including a front porch with porch swing and comfy chairs overlooking the pond and a tall tree swing, plus a back patio with a charcoal grill, tables and more seating. There is alot of space for the children to spread out and play in the yard with the beautiful pecan trees. We can house up to 14 people (6 of those are bunk beds for the kids) plus a pack and play / travel bed for the baby. Two `Family Rooms` upstairs each have a large bed (one king, one queen) plus a set of bunk beds, a papasan round chair and a window seat reading nook overlooking the pond. Our roomy kitchen makes it easy for multiple people to pitch in and work together creating meals and memories. The rustic living room / dining room area has a beautiful wooden-beamed vaulted ceiling, electric fireplace, a 55 inch Smart TV with cable, and 400 mbps WiFi throughout the house. Three full bathrooms and a washer and dryer make it simple for everyone to stay together comfortably.
You will have exclusive access to the whole cottage and yard. Neighbors have shared access to the pond which is used infrequently.
In most cases, I will meet you on arrival to give you a quick tour of the space and answer any questions. After that you can contact me at any time if you need something. I live close by with my husband and two daughters and thus will be readily available! My family loves learning together and serving in our church. This is my hometown and I love the area so much. I will be more than happy to help you with any local questions or recommendations!
The area surrounding Pond House on the Plains is a small, quiet, rural neighborhood only 6.4 miles from the Auburn University campus and all the Auburn games and activities. Our location between Auburn and Opelika is also equally close to Tiger Town, Downtown Opelika and Robert Trent Jones Golf Course. We are convenient to all the events while being out of the noise and congestion of traffic and crowds. Access to the pond is shared with your neighbors who use it infrequently.
You have free parking next to the house for 4 to 5 vehicles. Park carefully in the grass just off the gravel road on the Pond House side.
At the Pond House on the Plains, we offer fun, wholesome, special touches to make your stay an experience to remember for the whole family! Where else can you get a 30-60 minute scenic ride through the lovely adjoining woods and fields on a vintage firetruck?! This is also the perfect prop for taking unique photos. A full mini tea set is provided for your use, plus a picnic basket set. There is a fun, tiny playroom for the little ones, built in under the stairs, complete with books, props, and fairy lights for imaginative play. A paddleboat is provided to more fully enjoy the pond. You are welcome to bring additional non-motorized boats such as kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards.
Please treat our Pond House and property with care and respect as you would want others to treat your own house. We hope you enjoy your stay with us!

- "We enjoyed our stay. From the warm meet and greet from the host. We loved the home cooked bread, the quiet neighborhood, and the firetruck ride. We will book again." - "My group rented the house for a trip to play golf at the courses at Grand National in Opelika. We also drove to Prattvillle to play there one day. The house is convenient to get to the Opelika courses and convenient to get to Auburn campus. Jenny is extremely helpful and a great communicator. Great experience, highly recommended."
