✨ Layout of Home: Our house is designed with your comfort in mind. Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms: a primary suite with a king bed and a full bathroom, one additional bedroom with a king-sized bed, and a final room with two twin beds, which share a full bathroom. You’ll also enjoy a fully equipped kitchen, a large living space, a dining room, a reading nook, and a cozy sunroom (which technically could count as a 9th bed.)

Downstairs, you will find two large living spaces where you will have access to a wall projector, a ping pong table, and a bar area. The first two bedrooms share a full bathroom: one bedroom with a twin bed and a queen bed, and the other bedroom with a queen bed. There is also an additional apartment-style space featuring a king bed, a full bathroom, and a kitchenette.

We hope you find our outdoor space as exciting as we do! Here, you'll have access to a fire pit for family campfires, a hot tub for relaxation, and a large backyard that's perfect for a friendly game of wiffle ball or frisbee. You may also catch a glimpse of a family of deer feeding in the early morning and evening!

Guest access
Our house is your house! We want you to enjoy the house and grounds to the fullest. Keypad access to the house will be included in check-in instructions.
There is a large storage barn on the property that will be locked and a treehouse that is under renovation (with big plans for the future) that we ask you to supervise children around and exercise safety.

Perfect stay

We were in town for a funeral and needed a big house. Everything was perfect! The house is well equipped and cozy. Colson was an excellent host! I’d definitely stay again.

Christmas Staycation

This place is so spacious, yet cozy. It had everything we needed to bring our once upon a time family of 5 together with all of the new additions under one roof. We’re all local, but not all had the same schedule. We celebrated 2 birthdays during our stay. The fire pit was awesome (we made s’mores) the game room was also a big hit. The kids had plenty of space to run and play in the backyard (dodgeball & kickball, beanbag toss) It was just like old times with a modern twist. The host was super nice and communicated very well. If you’re looking for a nice, clean place for any special gathering, I highly recommend you select The Richland Retreat. You will be happy you did.

About the host

Hosted by Colson

Host profile image
My wife and I met at Auburn and love the community of Auburn. Since graduating, we love to go back to Auburn to reconnect with friends and spend time with family. When we made the decision to begin hosting, we tried to design the house with these moments in mind. There's nothing like grilling good food, gathering with friends around a football game, and relaxing by a fire at the end of the day. We love getting to set the stage for these memories to be made by other people when they're in Auburn!

Why they chose this property

It's hard to describe this property until you step foot on it, which we hope anyone who is reading this will do! As soon as you pull in the driveway, it truly feels like you are in your own world. Minutes from the hustle and bustle of campus, our property is an oasis of country living. It feels like a mountain cabin with plenty of space for all your friends and family! The inside of the house is wonderful, but the outdoor living spaces are our favorite feature of the home!

What makes this property unique

The size of the house and the property are truly a unique find this close to campus! A lot of properties within 10 minutes of campus have small yards or neighbors that share a wall. We love that this house sits in the middle of 5 acres with 4,000 square feet of living space. There's not many places you can sit on the porch and hear the roar of the stadium while watching deer graze in the backyard!
