About the host
Hosted by Lisa Campfield
Gardening, entertaining, traveling is a few of the things we enjoy. Lisa loves to read, and you will have access to books in the guest home. Allan is an Atlanta Falcons fan and enjoys keeping up with the latest SpaceX adventures. We love spending time with our family and hanging out with the grandchildren.
Why they chose this property
Rural Lee County is quiet & peaceful but close enough to Auburn and Opelika to enjoy some city life. There may be a random deer in the back yard or a flock of turkeys crossing the property. We truly have 4 seasons and there’s likely a celebration of that season close by. Although we boast the tranquility of the property, there's always something to do a few miles down the road. Salem Auction is typically every Friday night. Check FB page for specifics. Rocky Top Farms is close https://www.thefarmatrockytop.com/
The Opelika Sports plex offers day passes but the pickleball courts are available at no cost. https://www.opelika-al.gov/391/Opelika-Sportsplex-Aquatics-Center
Visit https://www.aotourism.com/events/?bounds=false&view=list&sort=date for local events. For Old School fun, check out Rock and Roll Pinball in Downtown Opelika. We have fabulous restaurants too and will be happy to make recommendations.

What makes this property unique
Enjoy the quiet, relaxing, private guest home with a large front porch that has rockers and a swing to enjoy your slow morning coffee or drink of choice. The side deck has outdoor dining, a gas grill and string lights. Other than the owner's home, there’s no other dwellings on the 15-acre property giving you a sense of serenity. With all the modern amenities, relax, unwind, read a book or simple just feel at home and be our guest. We are close to events if desired, but remote enough to rest and restore.
