Welcome to Serenity Cottage, a charming and peaceful family retreat set on 3 private wooded acres just 7 miles from Auburn University. This classic Southern home offers warmth, character, and plenty of space—an inviting alternative to crowded subdivisions and modern cookie-cutter builds. Thoughtfully maintained and professionally cleaned, the cottage provides comfort, privacy, and convenience for families, groups, and game-day travelers.

The Home

Serenity Cottage comfortably sleeps up to 9 guests across three bedrooms, a bonus sleeping nook, and two oversized sofas. With multiple gathering spaces and a cozy, home-like feel, it’s ideal for families, multi-family groups, or friends visiting Auburn.

Bedrooms & Sleeping Arrangements

Main Level
Primary Bedroom: King bed, ensuite bathroom, peaceful wooded views
Living Room: Two oversized sofas (convertible twin-style sleep options)

Upstairs

Bedroom 2: Queen bed + Queen Murphy bed (great for families)
Bedroom 3: Queen bed + private twin sleeping nook

Kitchen & Dining

The fully equipped kitchen includes everything needed for home-cooked meals, tailgate prep, or simple family breakfasts. The dining area seats your group comfortably for shared meals, game nights, or morning coffee.

Outdoor Space

Relax on the large deck or under the covered patio, surrounded by tall trees and peaceful Alabama woods. Kids have plenty of space to explore, and adults can unwind in a quiet, private setting rarely found this close to Auburn.

Location

Just a short drive to Auburn University, restaurants, grocery stores, and game-day activities—yet far enough to enjoy tranquility, nature, and room to breathe.

Perfect For

Auburn football weekends
Graduation & campus events
Family getaways
Multi-family or group trips
Quiet retreats in a peaceful wooded setting

Clean & Cared For

The home is professionally cleaned before every stay, with fresh linens, sparkling bathrooms, and a full reset between guests. This is a classic home with charm, not a new construction property, and we care for it with pride.

No parties or unregistered guests
No smoking anywhere on the property

    Everything was great. Felt like we were in the woods and away from everything. In fact, there was a store close by restaurants not too far away.

    Perfect home away from home for our Thanksgiving and Iron Bowl family celebration. The kitchen was well stocked to support our meal and tailgate prep, the bedrooms were comfortable and clean, and the parking pass was a great bonus for the game. Mary was easy to communicate with and kept us well informed throughout the booking process.

    We had a great stay at Camp War Eagle when we visited Auburn! The home is very spacious, clean and well stocked. Mary was a great host and responded quickly when I had a question about how to use the thermostat. Publix and restaurants where close by. My kids enjoyed all the fire-flies in the back yard. Thanks for letting us stay at home.

    This home was perfect for our group! We traveled 7.5 hours in for a wedding and did not make it until after midnight. The host knew we would be in late so they left lights on for us, and there was a basket of snacks on the counter. We have a 2 year old and he quickly found toys and puzzles. The house was clean, comfortable, a convenient location to Stone and Ivy, and large enough for everyone to have their own space, and had perfect sleeping arangements for parents with small kids. We will book on our next trip in for a football game! War Eagle!

    This home was precious! So clean and spacious. It’s a short drive to all of your favorites. The cozy couches and big kitchen were perfect for relaxing and chatting. This was the perfect location for our girls weekend!
