We loved our stay at Caddy’s shack. The place was clean, well appointed, the hosts were attentive, and you can easily walk to campus. We loved the fenced backyard for our dog and would stay here again.
The home has everything we needed, plus a nice backyard for relaxing. We took an easy walk downtown for dinner one night, and it was just a 15 minute walk.

Loved every minute of this stay. Such a great location. Thoughtful accommodations. The owner is so attentive to your needs. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat. It’s a War Eagle home!

We loved our stay at Caddy’s Shack. We were in town for Camp War Eagle and the location was so convenient to campus. In addition to two teenagers, we traveled with our two dogs and the fenced, private backyard was very much appreciated. The home was stocked with everything we needed. Kim was super helpful before and during our stay. I would be happy to stay at Caddy’s Shack again in the future. Thank you.
I was in town with some friends for a golf weekend. This spot is close enough to walk to campus and downtown Auburn without being so close that you’re dealing with the traffic. The place itself was very clean and comfortable. That back patio was a great spot for sharing some drinks and laughs. The hosts were super communicative and helpful in ensuring we were able to get in and had everything we needed.

Thank you Andy! We love that golfers have discovered us now! And we also have spent many an evening on that back deck under the trees. Hope to see y'all next year!
Thanks,
Kim and Jason
Kim was great to work with & quite responsive.
Close to downtown Auburn/Toomer’s.
Place was clean, comfy & cozy with plenty of Auburn decor. Real fireplace was a big positive as it was quite cold during our visit.
Great option for family with a small pet.
The property is extremely clean, well decorated, roomy! It’s obvious the owners care about your stay, and have thought of everything you could possibly need or want. A perfect weekend celebrating an Auburn win! WDE
