You can book with confidence knowing you’re in experienced hands—we’re here to make your stay smooth, comfortable, and well taken care of from start to finish. **ABOUT THIS HISTORIC HOME** Many of the homes we manage in Columbus are historic and full of character—something guests love when visiting for Fort Benning graduations, family trips, or extended stays.. With that charm comes a few natural quirks, such as creaky floors, older windows that may allow slight temperature variation, and original plumbing systems that require a bit of care. We’ve taken great care to ensure the home is clean, comfortable, and fully guest-ready—while preserving the character that makes it special. If you’re looking for a brand-new home, this may not be the best fit, but if you appreciate charm and a unique stay, you’ll feel right at home. Our team is always available during your stay to make sure you’re taken care of. ***A pack 'n play/travel crib is available upon request. Please bring your own crib sheet*** ***Vacuum available upon request*** We require a signed rental agreement and for guest to be 21 years of age to book. . We are a pet friendly home. Pets must be crated when they are left unattended in the home. We do not allow pets on furniture or beds, and all waste must be cleaned up from the yard. All pets require a non-refundable pet fee.

Ashley was an amazing host , our small children loved the place I did address some concerns I had about the property to Mrs.Ashley and she took everything into consideration. She provides a washer/dryer and the soap to put into it , towels, washclothes, dishwasher with the detergent . I will say it may need a few touch ups added to the place but overall better than paying almost 300$+ for a hotel room and I felt safe, comfy and quiet ! Also backyard can get muddy but already addressed that with Mrs.ashley and they are proactively getting everything in order happily! Would definitely come back to see the property again while visiting my sister at Fort Benning !

Ashley’s home was very beautiful. She was very responsive to my messages and after a long day of traveling and same day events, she allowed me to check in early. I would gladly recommend her listing to everyone and I will be staying again.
