House is very charming needs alittle love and minor adjustments but for our purposes this house was plenty.

The house is old but they have it set up nice. The company was very easy to get in contact with and they worked to solve our problems quickly. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were clean and comfortable. The only issues I had with the place was that first, there wasn’t a curtain over the window on the hall bathroom. Anyone can look inside while taking a shower. That was easily solved by everyone using the shower in the master bedroom. Then, we couldn’t find the remote to the TV. Which wasn’t a big deal because we downloaded the app on our phone and they replaced it quickly. The only problem was, when we were looking for the remote, we looked under the couch and there we found chip bags, soda bottles, juice bottles, etc. Just a lot of trash stuffed under there that wasn’t cleaned. Other than those two issues we had a very nice stay.

The location is perfect and the management team great in communicating with us. However, the property needs a lot of TLC. There is a strong musty odor in the house. We found roaches, ants, and moths in most of the living areas. The backyard is overgrown and needs cleaning up. The interior trim needs painting. This house could be a comfortable rental if the owner invests in needed improvements.

This was the perfect house for our weeklong stay in Columbus for Thanksgiving. The house is centrally located to everything you might want to do in town. We especially loved being just a few blocks from Lakebottom park which is great for walking.
This is our second time renting from Patriot Family Homes and we will continue to be repeat customers!

We stayed here last weekend for my son's turning green ceremony and 4 day leave. It was a quiet neighborhood. Property was comfortable and clean. It was a short drive to downtown or the base. We will choose this property again when we come back.

Easy check in process. Very clean. Great internet and tv options. Close to Fort Moore. Would definitely stay again.

Location & neighborhood were great, but the house left us all very disappointed. Every room felt dirty and neglected. The shower in the master bath was plagued with mold, bugs crawled around the kitchen and the furniture looked like it'd been through many households. The property manager sent a cleaning lady to the house to take care of mold issues, which was good, but we couldn't open a single window to let the bleach smell out of the house because they were nailed/painted shut. Wouldn't stay here again and we even left early.

We loved the neighborhood and the house was charming. We were disappointed in the cleanliness of the home. It really needs to be scrubbed from top to bottom. There was only 1 dish towel in the kitchen. It just seemed to us that the owners wanted to list on vrbo as quickly as possible with the least amount of investment possible. Could be so much better with just a bit more effort.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay and loved swinging on the front porch! The property could have been cleaner and the sheets were terrible. They were incredibly stiff and uncomfortable to sleep on. However, we still enjoyed our stay.

This home is in what appears to be a well established provate residential area yet convenient to downtown. Nice mature home.

We were in town to attend our daughter’s OCS graduation at Ft. Moore. The location couldn’t have been more perfect. It was in a quiet, safe neighborhood conveniently located to restaurants and an easy drive to Ft Moore.
Communication with the property manager was excellent.
We will definitely choose this house again if we’re ever back in Columbus.

We were in town to see our son graduate from basic training over at Fort Benning and this property provided the perfect base camp for our stay in and around Columbus. Highly recommend you look at staying in this property if you're visiting the area.

There is nothing in life that is better than peace. This location was the best thing that there was to offer and I look to come back agian. No sirens, police cars or antyhting correlated to city life. I enjoyed the amenities and the space that was provided. The old charm was great in my eyes.

Good place to stay in Columbus. Convenient to downtown and in a good area.

This place is a diamond in the rough as far as Columbus goes. I was very pleased to find how nice this place was considering it was in the center of town. It is a nice property in downtown that is a beautiful historic property built around 1920. Yes, this means some of the doors are going to stick and be hard to open and close.
Pros: The house was clean and the grass was recently cut. There was plenty of silverware and dishes for all 8 people in my party.
Cons: There were a few wiring issues such the front porch fan and light being inoperative and a couple other lights that were possibly just bulb related. The backyard was a little overgrown, ivy wise. Also, the gas grill outback was not cleaned regularly and seemed too much of a risk to mess with.
All in all, me and my family loved this place and would most definitely stay here again. Just a few small details that could be better inspected prior to a guest's arrival would make this place as close to perfect as you can get!

Terrible..
First off the pictures are not actually how the inside looks.. they had a blanket covering the sofa due to it being old and stained ..... the floors was so dirty as soonas we got there i had to sweep. There is no remote for the tv in the living room...everything is out dated..... they claim it is pet friendly however they charged me additional money , stating it was because there was dog hair on the sofa on beds... My dog is hypoallergenic... shedoes not shed.she'd.. they charged me 40 dollars for a bedsheet that my son got dirty do to eating ice cream. 40 dollars for a sheet set that just had to be put in the washer... I would never recommend this place to anyone. The owners are rude aswell

Renting this property was great, flexible with our needs, plenty of space for all and a convenient location. Just wished the property had been mowed as we were unable to use the backyard due to high grass. Comfortable front porch chairs would have been nice to enjoy the great inviting space. Would definitely rent again!

If you’re a guy or don’t mind living like a bachelor, this place will be great for you. Good location, wonderful porch, comfortable mattresses with plenty of them, all the right rooms.
If you don’t like living like a bachelor, don’t stay here. I’m not sure the sheets were actually changed before we arrived - this is based on the stuff I tried to sweep out of the master bed and the hair on the pillow. The master shower feels great but is riddled with mildew. The sheets don’t really fit the bed well, so you wake up every day to a totally unmade bed. The hall bathroom had hair in and around the tub plus in the corners. I neglected to bring slippers, so I would either feel the dirt on the living room carpet or pick it up on my socks. Finally, there is a strange smell, as if trying to cover up what used to be a smokers’ house. So, again, if that kind of stuff doesn’t bother you, you’ll be fine.

Wedding Weekend
We stayed here for a wedding in Columbus and loved the location - couldn't have been better. What a nice, quaint, Southern neighborhood and a lovely home. Really enjoyed our stay.

The home was in a cute neighborhood and was a cute home with cozy furnishings. My parents took the master suite, which was huge. My sister and her son took one room and my family took the other. I slept on one of the trundles and slept pretty well. Some of the linens looked dirty and smelled like cologne. Not sure if it was air freshener or something because a few pillows smelled like they were recently used by a man. The home was well stocked with amenities that were great! The communication was great and timely and check out instructions were super simple. My only complaint is really about the cleanliness. You can tell it was lightly cleaned before we got there but the place needs a good deep clean. The windowsills were all very dirty and with small kids, it’s at perfect hand level. There was several areas that had thick dust on them, like the tiles in the restroom and the mirrors. The floors seemed clean but the rugs were dirty and the couch was covered in blankets, which had dog hair on them. The landscapers also came during our visit but literally only did half of the yard and the backyard looks scary so we had the kids play in the beautiful front yard. It just seems like the owner probably has a few properties and hasn’t had a chance to check the house. The layout and set up of the home was good and I would stay there again if the place got a good deep clean.
