Welcome to Serenity Cottage, a charming and peaceful family retreat set on 3 private wooded acres just 7 miles from Auburn University. This classic Southern home offers warmth, character, and plenty of space—an inviting alternative to crowded subdivisions and modern cookie-cutter builds. Thoughtfully maintained and professionally cleaned, the cottage provides comfort, privacy, and convenience for families, groups, and game-day travelers.
