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 showerhose feature but no walk-in shower], and sleeping loft. Entertainment includes free wifi, a Samsung Smart TV with all the streaming, a DVD/Blueray player, hundreds of DVDs, and a vintage Wii with 4 remotes and games. The living room is cozy with an electric fireplace console. On the walls you’ll find framed show posters and art by local artists. Outside is a large, fully fenced-in yard with gate, and a deck with picnic table. Parking is onsite and plentiful.
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 and private, yet convenient to charming Auburn and less than 5 minutes from University Staion RV Park.
We are located 5 miles from the Auburn University Vet School and Wire Road Soccer Complex.

Pet Policy:
We welcome well-behaved house-trained dogs who are up to date on shots. The Milk Barn yard is fully fenced when the gate is closed, but we ask that dogs not be left outdoors unattended for long periods or outdoors overnight. This is for their safety. Please confirm you’ve read the pet policy when placing your reservation. Thanks!

    A lovely getaway at the Milk Barn — truly a small slice of heaven! We were in Auburn for a wedding and, in a pinch, needed to bring our dogs along. Thankfully, this stay could not have worked out better. Our dogs had just as much fun as we did!The home was thoughtfully stocked with all the little things travelers often forget, which made our stay even more comfortable and stress-free.The host was incredibly accommodating, reliable, and available whenever we needed anything at all.We will absolutely be back the next time we’re in the Auburn area. Highly recommend!

    This space was an absolute dream come true!!! My family and I stopped here on the way from Houston, and the cozy, welcoming environment and secluded location was PERFECT! Our dogs absolutely loved the yard, and the home was so pet-friendly. I wish I was driving through Auburn again just so I could stay here.

    Where do I start? I’m a sucker for rustic, cozy, country, homebody vibes, and this beautiful place checked every box. The loft was awesome for my son, who loved having his own privacy instead of sleeping next to mom as a preteen lol. The kitchen was spacious and fully equipped with everything we needed.The outside of the property was absolutely beautiful, and my dogs loved it too. Since it was rainy and cold, we left the doors open so we could listen to the rain while the dogs went in and out freely. The fenced yard kept my dogs secure, which gave me peace of mind.The owner was incredibly responsive and kind. When we thought we had misplaced the house keys and accidentally locked ourselves out, she literally left her job to come help us without hesitation. If I could give her a 10 out of 5, I absolutely would.The home comfortably fit my whole family of 7 if all of us would have come to the trip, and if we come back into town for another soccer tournament, we will definitely stay here again!

    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.

    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!

    We had a mixup in booking that was 100% my fault, but our host was able to accommodate us, which she completely didn’t have to do. I can’t express how much it means to me that she was super responsive and accommodating! The place was peaceful and perfect, and it’s apparent how much time and energy was put into making this place feel like home. We definitely plan on booking again.
