Welcome to our peaceful countryside retreat located conveniently close to both Ft Moore/Columbus, GA and Auburn/Opelika, AL. The spacious suite offers unparalleled relaxation and enjoyment, beautiful views, farm animals, wildlife observation, and nearby amenities. You’ll see bison grazing by the house, chickens roaming, and hear the occasional MOOOOOO of a cow. Stargazing and bird watching are excellent activities, but you can also fish, play frisbee, darts, cornhole, explore walking trails...

The space
The farmhouse was converted into a duplex in 2022 in order to provide two separate living units, each with its own entrance and private quarters.

It easily sleeps 5+ on the king bed, full size bed, twin size bed, and sleeper sofa (recommended for kids only). The suite offers smaller groups of visitors the chance to enjoy the farm without needing to reserve the larger listing. The private, gated driveway to the suite is located off of a very low traffic road, and local stores and amenities are only 5-10 minutes away.

Where I went to school: West Point
My work: Bison farmer
I came to the area when I was posted to Ft Benning, GA as an Engineer Officer in 2005. A few years after transitioning from the Army I was fortunately able to start a bison operation with my husband in a quiet area that is still conveniently close to both Columbus and Auburn. The farm is my home, but it is so beautiful and peaceful here that it feels like a vacation even when working. The bison, wildlife, and farm animals make my life interesting on a daily basis, and have brought meaning back into my life after the Army. Whether you are looking for fun for the whole family, in town for business, or desire a serene country getaway, I look forward to ensuring you enjoy the experience here as well.
