Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
NEWLY RENOVATED, 3 blocks from AU, Game Day House “Caddy’s Shack” is a smoke-free, kid-friendly townhome in Auburn designed as a game-day and campus-visit base. The home offers about 1,464 sq ft of space with an open-concept living/dining area for groups to gather. It’s also pet-friendly, with a fenced backyard set up for outdoor hangouts.
Location
The property is positioned for walkable Auburn weekends: it’s described as three blocks from Toomer’s Corner, nearby restaurants and bars, and Auburn University campus. The host notes it’s close enough to walk to festivities but far enough away to avoid hearing them all night. Golfers are also a fit, with Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail/Grand National Course noted as about 15 minutes away.
Living, Outdoor Space & Recreation
Inside, the living area includes seating for group game-watching and a wood-burning fireplace for winter stays, plus cable TV and Wi-Fi. Outdoors, guests have a patio and a large fenced backyard set up for tailgating with a grill, firepit, string lights, and outdoor games. A ping pong table is also highlighted for extra entertainment.
Kitchen & Dining
The kitchen is set up for full meals with an oven/stove, microwave, and other cooking basics, supporting everything from family dinners to game-day spreads. Coffee is provided, including both a coffee pot and Keurig, alongside small appliances like a blender, toaster, crock pot, and mixer. Indoor dining includes a table that seats six plus three bar stools at the bar, with additional seating outside.
Bedrooms, Bathrooms & Laundry
All three bedrooms are upstairs, each with its own smart TV and a ceiling fan; the primary bedroom includes a king bed and an attached full bathroom, and the other two bedrooms each have a queen bed and share a full hall bath. Additional sleeping includes a queen sleeper sofa downstairs and a pop-up twin stored in a closet, allowing up to nine guests to have a bed. A full-size washer and dryer are provided for guest use, and heating and air conditioning are included.
Best for
This renovated Auburn townhome is best for AU families, alumni reunions, and game-day groups who want a walkable base near campus and Toomer’s Corner while still being set back from late-night noise. It also suits pet owners thanks to the pet-friendly policy, fenced yard, and provided dog accessories, and it’s a convenient pick for golfers headed to RTJ/Grand National (about 15 minutes away).
Travel tips
Plan to walk to Auburn University, Toomer’s Corner, and nearby bars/restaurants from the home’s location; it’s positioned close to the action without being in the loudest zone. Parking is on-site and free, with space for two cars in the private driveway. If you’re traveling for a game weekend, the grill/firepit yard setup makes it easy to tailgate without leaving the property.
