About the host
Hosted by Laurie Tate
I grew up in Opelika, we both graduated from Auburn University and after moving around the south and mid-west for 27 years we decided to settle back in my hometown. You will find the area very friendly with a slow pace, yet many activities to choose from. If you like college sports, you have found the right place...WAR EAGLE! If you love golfing, look no further, we have some of the most fabulous courses around and are home to one of The Robert Trent Jones golf course. Love to antique? Enjoy riding on backroads and finding many hidden treasures. Come enjoy your stay and quickly find out why Opelika has been voted as one of the best places to retire! Welcome!
Why they chose this property
We bought the home I grew up in and love the wooded feel of the lot and the older homes. The house next door to us became available and we bought it to use and share as a guest house to those wanting to enjoy the area of Opelika and Auburn.
What makes this property unique
You will love the larger, wooded lots and the charm of the older homes. The location is perfect for Auburn game days and any other activities you wish in this historic railroad town. Close to Opelika Sportsplex (Pickleball courts), RTJ golf course, Auburn University and many more! It's the perfect location.
