About this property

Private Country Farmhouse Just Minutes From Auburn University

Located just 7 miles from downtown Auburn and Auburn University in the sleepy historic town of Loachapoka, this house is ideal for families coming to tour the University, sporting events, graduation, or for a simple country getaway.
The MilkBarn Guesthouse was originally built in 1940 as a cow milking barn. Fully renovated in 2017 as a guesthouse, it has a full kitchen with all new appliances, heart pine countertops, gorgeous bathroom with a clawfoot tub [please note this tub has a shower hose feature but no walk-in shower] sleeping loft, wifi, tv with dvd and wii, and a cozy living space with electric fireplace console. Updated on the inside with an old Alabama feel. Decorated with framed show posters and art by local artists. Large, fully fenced-in yard with gate. Plenty of parking is available!
We love dogs! Bring the family dog with you while you visit your student … see our Pet Policy below :)
Sleeps 6, open floor plan, private, and quiet. The loft features 2 twin beds, perfect for the little explorers. Main floor features a queen bed, double bed, and a futon which expands to a queen.
Owner lives on adjacent property with a shared drive and fence line. Very peaceful, yet convenient to charming Auburn and less than 5 minutes from University Staion RV Park.
5 miles from the Auburn University Vet School.

I really enjoyed my stay at the farmhouse especially being able to vacation and bring my five dachshunds with me. Probably 99% of VRBO owners would not allow five dogs and Wayles was very accommodating. I appreciated the attention to detail and provided everything that I could have needed while on vacation – from make up remover to a toothbrush to Keurig coffee pods. I also appreciated the Christmas gift basket she left me and extra towels for my pups!. Would definitely stay there again.

Quaint, Cozy, and Very Well-Stocked!We really enjoyed our stay at this charming cottage. It’s quaint, cozy, and had everything we needed—clearly very well-stocked and thoughtfully prepared for guests. We only wish we had more time to enjoy all the amenities!The location is great! It is close enough to Auburn University to make getting around easy, but far enough to avoid the crowds if you prefer a quieter stay.The only downside was the bathroom setup. There isn’t a traditional stand-up shower or a tub with a full surround/curtain, so it was a bit tricky to keep water from spraying onto the floor.Overall, a lovely spot and a great place to stay near Auburn!

The CUTEST VRBO that is conveniently located near Waverly and Auburn. The owners go above and beyond to make the stay comfortable and worry free. The icing on the cake is that our dogs are welcome with a huge yard. We all loved looking at the stars last night. We hope to come back soon!

Beautiful place, not really for us as we are old and I snore, but perfect for a family of an Auburn student. Fenced yard is big enough for a viszla to run. Close enough to town yet feels rural
