  • Inn Details

    Convenient and safe historic district location, AAA-3 diamond rated. Within walking distance of downtown Auburn, fine restaurants, the University Campus, and Jordan-Hare Football Stadium. We are 3 blocks from the AU Hotel & Dixon Conference Center, and just minutes away from Grand National and Auburn Links golf courses. All guest units are well appointed each with private bath, cable TV, VCR, clock radio, cassette player, a well lit study desk, and a computer data port. We have AT&T Touch Tone sevice with direct private line to each guest room. Some rooms have excellent kithenette facilities. This wedgewood blue B&B has been home-away-from-home to a fascinating array of guests from Nobel Laureates to Corporate Presidents. From 12-foot vauilted ceilings, to golden heart pine floors, late Victorian details abound. In spite of its convenient central location, this quiet retreat seems worlds away from the hustle and bustle of Auburn University and downtown, which are only blocks up the street. The peaceful historic district surroundings recall a less hurried way of life. Our guests enjoy a taste of local history that no other lodging in Auburn can provide.

    I stayed at Crenshaw House during a recent trip for business with customers at Auburn University. I travel often for business and have come to appreciate the personal touches of B&Bs. I have to say that Crenshaw house is head and shoulders above most B&Bs out there. The arrangement of the house, with the kitchen, sitting room, and kitchen area all on the ground floor with the guest rooms, and the owners quarters on the top floor makes you feel you have the run of the house. Several times after working late into the night it was a luxury to pop into the kitchen and have a piece of fruit or chocolate and a cup of coffee from the single-serve coffee maker. It was also a treat at breakfast to chat with the owner, George, who was a pilot for the Navy and NASA. He certainly knows how to tell a story. I was especially interested to hear the history of a tiger art print signed by Walt Disney and dedicated to the previous owner. Overall, I highly recomend Crenshaw House as a great place to stay.

    This past June, a group of friends who happened to all be alumni of Auburn, had a reunion in Auburn. We stayed at the Grenshaw Guest House. The incredible service starts the second you walk through their front door! They show you your room, the grounds, and then let you know all that is available to you during your stay. We were there for 4 days, and everyday we were asked if we needed anything? Very attentive without being overbearing. The owner even let me use a free pass to his gym! The rooms are comfy, and big. The setting is perfect, and so close to town. If you plan to come to Auburn, just yourself or a group, I strongly suggest the Grenshaw House. You will not regret it. Thank you to the owner and his family for all the hospitality. We will be back. Best Regards, Phoebe Taylor

    Wonderful place. Can't say enough good things.

    I found them online when I was looking for a place to celebrate my wedding anniversary. The other reviews plus the photos on the site convinced me it was worth a try. It exceeded all our expectations. The house is a beautiful restored Victorian home from the 1890s and the owners have all sorts of incredible Auburn memorabilia. We stayed in the Bay room which is actually a two-room suite with a sitting area. The room and really the whole house was so charming. From the furnishings to the draperies to the clawfoot tub/shower and all the original wood trim work, it's pretty much exactly what we love in going to a great bed and breakfast. Plus the place was absolutely one of the cleanest places I've ever stayed, period. The owners are wonderful hosts and so much fun to talk with and the breakfast of homemade french toast, hashbrown casserole, smoked sausage and bacon was awesome. I really can't say enough good things without coming off like some paid marketer for them. I promise that's not the case. I'm just so happy that I found this place and tried it out. Likely to become at the very least an annual visit for us, if not more. We only wish we had the whole weekend to stay.

    Great little secret in Auburn!

    We we welcomed by the staff the minute we arrived and given a tour of the house and the outer buildings along with the history of the property. The rooms were great and comfortable. The meals were outstanding! We felt at home, conversing with the other guests! Have reservations for this year! My husband and I are making this an annual event! Nene Parker
