The lovely trio of lady hostesses was easy to communicate with, quickly responding to each message I sent. The home was just as pictured in the VRBO listing, and such a welcome sight after our collision with a turkey on the way to Columbus - hiccup #2 on our trip!
The personal touches they included (a light-board greeting & welcome basket filled with a few treats) did not go unnoticed. The home was clean, bright, & comfortable. The self-check-in process was super easy, the wall signs with check-in/check-out procedures, as well as the professional spiral bound "House in the Hills" Welcome book was a great resource to have on hand.
As for the home, it was well-equipped with all the basic needs in the kitchen: ample glassware, pots/pans, dinnnerware, serveware, small appliance, eat-in-kitchen seating for 8 comfortably, as well as a cute coffee bar area with K-cup options. The two bathrooms and in-home. laundry made keeping people and clothing clean, a breeze. The starter toiletries & laundry pods were a great bonus, especially if you forget something.
The bedrooms were comfortable and linens/bedding were supplied, making it a welcome sight after a long day of exploring. Getting a good's night rest was not hard in this home. The neighborhood was quiet.
The bonus of the inflatable hot tub was a welcome sight and used two of the nights we stayed, giving relief to our muscles after our hiking outtings. There is a fire pit, however we were not able to take advantage of that.
We only had two days to explore, but did enjoy going to:
**Providence Canyon State Park (in Lumpkin, GA - $5 entry fee - beautiful a must see - canyons, water paths, hiking, picnic area, interpretive center - recommend 3-4 hours)
**National Infantry Museum (Free- another highly recommended must see - carve out at least 2-3 hours to make the most of it)
**Baumhower's Victory Grille (friendly, clean - Sports Bar in Auburn, AL)
**Chewacla State Park ($2-$4 per person entry fee - beautiful - Auburn, AL lake, trails, picnic area, waterfall - recommend at least 2 hours)
I would recommend taking advantage of these nuggets while staying at the House in the Hills. Pack a lunch, bring water, & make an morning or afternoon of it! They were great on the budget, so worth the time and energy, and provided value to our travel experience.
If we had more time there were several other places we would have loved to visit/patronize...next time, Lord willing.
