Most Amazing stay; can’t wait to return!! The Milk Barn was above and beyond regarding cleanliness, accommodations, pup friendliness and communications!! Definitely recommend the stay!!
Pet friendly, pictures are accurate of the property, little touches & thoughtful needed items handy. Would like to stay again! Prompt communication, easy to check in & out.
The Milk Barn was exactly what we needed to have a comfortable stay and wonderful place for our doggies. Very welcoming and stocked with all we could hope for!
My boyfriend and I loved it here! We forgot about the time change and we were able to get in early. Place was adorable and has a lot of entertainment between Blu-rays, Wii games, family games. We absolutely loved the bathtub and the rustic appeal of the place. We will definitely be coming back!
The Milk Barn is a beautiful, quite place. My family loved it all! The kiddos enjoyed the loft. The couches are perfect to lounge in and watch tv. The owner has thought of everything that you may need. Well stocked kitchen, large bathroom. We would definitely stay again if we are in the area and it is available! 10/10
This is such a gem! The host thought of everything and was amazing to work with. This will be the first place we will look for all of our Auburn trips. Book the Milk Barn, you will not regret it!
We enjoyed our stay so much! The Milkbarn is such a cute, cozy place. There was coffee and all the fixings. Everything was very, very clean. The beds were comfy. The yard was huge and fenced so our doggies enjoyed playing safely back there. Our college kids came by in the evenings, and we had some fun competing on the Wii. We highly recommend the Milkbarn and will be checking back in to see if we can stay again.
The best and most gracious host in the business! Every detailed amenity has been well thought out from back-up toothbrush to coffee creamer. Fully decked out kitchen with utensils. Nice, quiet country setting. Yet 15 quick minutes to Jordan-Hare Stadium. This can be your home away from home when visiting Auburn. Very cozy, very nice, very gracious and friendly host!
10/10 Recommend! The host was so very accommodating and hospitable! Close to campus and the perfect place to relax and unwind! It was so clean and fully stocked with all the things you could need! We came to celebrate our son's graduation from Auburn and it was the perfect place to host family to celebrate!
Super cute place! The host has thought of everything. Even had a diffuser attachment for the hairdryer which never happens. We would definitely stay here again.
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.
Loved the property with its large fenced yard with nice lawn. Easy access to deck and house. Perfect location for visiting the greater Auburn area. Cozy interior. Would definitely stay again.
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!
