Such a great stay!! The Bibb Mill Historic Cottage was a perfect stay. The cottage is adorable and perfect for any couple looking to relax in old world charm. Harley is an accommodative and friendly host. Perfect location and near to the shopping & restaurant district. We look forward to our next stay very soon. Thank you Harley!!
This was the most adorable house. Loved the way it was decorated. The host was very attentive and made sure I had everything I could possibly need. Definitely would stay again
Great place, great property manager, early transitional neighborhood.

Thank you for your review Mark! The area is on its way up and change takes time. The mill district is safe but us, Historic Columbus, and other organizations are adding to the community one house at a time. We hope to earn your business again!!
Great communication with the Host Harley! The place is beautiful and nicely decorated! We loved the velvet comforter and that we ordered one for our bedroom. Will definitely stay there again!
This cottage was ideal for me, my boyfriend, and our dog for a 5-night stay over Christmas. It is equipped with everything we possibly could have needed, and the back porch was a welcome outdoor space in unseasonably warm December weather. Highly recommend this little gem.

You’re awesome Brooke!! Hope to see you back this winter.
The Host was awesome. Great Communication. The House was VERY close to the river walk which was great because we were there to take pics of our Kayaking friends.

Thank you so much for your support and trusting in us! You are a pleasure and I hope to serve you all again in the future.
Beautifully decorated home. More spacious than I imagined and we were able to entertain a few family members for a Turning Blue ceremony. The patio was an ideal hang out spot with a gorgeous view of nature and a variety of birds! Home was exceptionally clean.close to great restaurants and only 25 min drive to Ft Benning. Highly recommend this place.
This property was exactly as listed - beautiful, clean, and in a quiet neighborhood! My husband & I stayed here for my brothers turning blue & graduation ceremony and we really enjoyed the stay! It was 15 minutes away from base. The host was super responsive and checked in on us, and also left some arrival goodies and toothbrushes make up wipes, extra towels in the bathroom which was a really nice touch. The home features a beautiful back porch and a security system that you can arm (this made us feel extra safe). Just remember to unarm it before opening the backdoor, haha. We would absolutely stay here again!!

The property was beautifully decorated, it felt so welcoming. I loved the natural light through the front door & windows, as well as the bedroom rear access to the deck.
Even though surrounding area/neighborhood looks a bit rundown, we felt secure at the property. The people we met during our stay were very nice. There's a little community park with swings right on the corner of the block and a family was having a birthday party on our arrival day.
The place was perfect for visiting our daughter at Fort Benning. Even though the front door lock had gone dead you were easily contacted and resolved the issue within minutes. Thank you so much for helping us with our personal issue we had! It was definitely not your responsibility, but helped us out greatly.
