Our stay at this home was wonderful. Everything was exactly as shown and described. We came for our son’s BCT graduation and couldn’t be happier with our choice. The distance not only from base but also to many restaurants and shopping plazas is within miles. The host Amber and George were very prompt getting back to us and we look forward to coming back in the near future. Thank you for your great hospitality. Robert & Jilleen

Beautiful place as it has been remodeled. Everything is comfortable and clean. The side entrance door opens the wrong direction, and could lead to someone stepping or falling off that stoop if a railing is not installed for safety.

House has been redone was clean and as described. Outside could use some work as there was glass/metal/nails/screws in the driveway side yard and back yard. The storm door on the side opens the wrong direction making it awkward to get in and out. Location was very close to the base but numerous homes in the neighborhood were abandoned or bars over the windows/doors. We felt safe staying at this location but it would have been nice to know beforehand. Host was quick to respond to all questions.

About the host

Hosted by George

Host profile image
Hi, we’re Amber and George! We live in Georgia and enjoy hosting guests in the Columbus and Fort Benning area. Amber is a local Realtor® and and George is an Army officer — together, we love creating welcoming spaces that feel like a true home away from home.

We started hosting because we know how important it is to have a comfortable, reliable place to stay — whether you’re visiting for military graduations, family trips, or just exploring the area. When we’re not busy with work or hosting, we enjoy spending time with family, cheering on our favorite football team, and discovering new spots around town.

Our goal is to make every guest feel welcome, cared for, and at ease. We look forward to hosting you!

Why they chose this property

We picked this neighborhood because it’s close to everything — Fort Benning, downtown Columbus, and plenty of restaurants and shopping. Willis Plaza has a lot of history; we’ve been told it was once the spot for military officers back in the day. What we enjoy most is that it’s a quiet, convenient place to come back to after a busy day.
