Travel tips
A car is the most practical way to get around, especially for visiting Chewacla State Park, Auburn venues, and outdoor preserves. Plan to use the screened porch and back deck as core gathering spaces—many guests report spending much of their time there. If you need lots of hanging storage (for example, wedding attire), consider packing garment bags or planning around limited closet space mentioned by guests.
