This property was perfect for our stay in Columbus to see our son graduate from Ranger School. We were all busy leading up to the travel and, of course, what he just completed meant that what we all needed was just to be together and rest. The house allowed for the right amount of room to spread out when needed and spaces to join together comfortably. It was a very cozy situation that reminded me of holidays at “Mamaw’s House.” Instructions for arrival and departure were simple and clear. Thank you!

Wonderful Stay

We came to see our son's turning green ceremony at Fort Moore. The house was clean and in a safe neighborhood. The yard and pool were very nice. Diane, the owner was very responsive and easy to talk with. My son, his girlfriend, her mom, my husband, and I were able to relax and enjoy ourselves. The house had everything we needed to stay for almost a week. I would definitely rent this home again and I highly recommend staying here.

Perfect place

This house was perfect location for visiting a student at CSU. Clean, lots of space, great laundry. Very well stocked kitchen we cooked almost all meals there. My only feedback is the pillows on all beds are real bad if you have a bad neck. I will use this house again for sure but will bring my own pillow.

Perfect spot for Turning Green

We stayed at the property during my son’s Army BCT graduation (Turning Green). It was the perfect place to relax and spend time with my son for family weekend. The pool was an awesome bonus. The house is clean, comfortable, and private. In short, it was everything an exhausted newly minted soldier needed. It’s convenient to restaurants and shopping if you want to do any of that. We did a lot of eating in and found the grill useful. It was a huge surprise to find spices and seasonings in the cabinet! Diane was a gracious host. We would definitely recommend this to any family looking for a place to stay.

Better than expected

After staying in MANY vacation rentals, I can honestly say that this was the BEST. Home had so much room to spread out and give our growing family lots of privacy. Home was welcoming and had comfortable high quality furnishings. VERY well stocked with everything we could have needed. Owner was quick to respond and receptive to our needs. Location is excellent. I walked in the neighborhood daily and felt safe.10 MN to Walmart and 15 MN to Fort Moore. Pool was lovely and a great place to enjoy our grandson and the outdoors. Thank You!!
