Perfect Little House

This was the perfect little house to stay in during my weekend in Opelika. It was within a quick walk to downtown. The street is beautiful (I was there when everything was blooming). The house is a little quirky, charming, spotless and well appointed. The owner is super quick to respond to messages. I will stay here again.

Weekend at Auburn/Opelika

We were in the area visiting family and had a wonderful time! The house is cozy, comfortable, clean and well appointed. It is close to everything. We walk to downtown, walked to Church on Sunday, sat on the small porch with our coffee and just thoroughly enjoyed out time in Opelika. We loved that it is very close to Auburn!! Thank you Diane for making your home available. We will be back!
