Plumming
This house needs a lot of work,, The plumbing is horrible we smelled a sewer smell the whole time, The commode , bathtub and shower backed up. No cold water in the King room. Wild cats, The furniture is old and nothing is coordinating. The picture must have been taken years ago or they were photoshopped. The house doesn’t need to be rented anyway until someone makes the correction. I do understand the house is historic, BUT it doesn’t have to smell or filthy

Beautiful historic home in a great location
We brought a group of 12 family members down for our son's RASP graduation. We had plenty of room to spread out when we needed our own space, and plenty of large rooms where we could gather to hang out together. Location is convenient to everything you want to visit in Columbus with a great park within walking distance. Property manager is very responsive and responded quickly to any requests.

Great location and spacious!
Plenty of room for a family of 5 and in a great location near the park. This was one of our favorite properties in Columbus (have been there for several graduations) and would look to return here again. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, nice kitchen. Thanks for having us!

1 * for cleanliness is generous
Beautiful property and location, but poorly maintained, well used but not at all clean, by any standards. In contrast, communication with host was excellent and when we had problems with check-in code, we were able to reach someone on the phone for immediate assistance.

That had not been changed they were filthy add hair and dirt on the sheets on the pillowcases the whole house around the baseboards were thick with dirt and mold on the doors when we called the owner they said that they would give us $200 back on cleaning fee and they dropped off sheets for us to make her own bags and some cleaning stuff for us to clean the house when I ask why we had to make her own beds and all that they said that they want the person who is supposed to be cleaning dropped off the new sheets and didn’t make the beds wanted us to make them so we knew that they were clean sheets customer service was rude when we asked for a different place to stay we stayed for four nights and it was pretty horrible the house was beautiful it just was not cleaned

Lots of room but missing some basics
Communication with the management and response was wonderful, In the space, especially the bedding, was very comfortable. but with such a large house and ability to accommodate dozens of adults, we were surprised to have only 8 sets of dishes and silverware, A small saucepan what’s the largest pot, and one very old skillet. We did all of our cooking at home, and we ended up having to go purchase disposable containers and dishes to cook with. The property was mostly clean - especially the bedding - but there were several corners with dust piles and surfaces that were missed in cleaning. Overall it was a very comfortable space, but the addition of some pots and pans and other basics to the kitchen, as well as some attention to detail, could go along way.

Casa R Hispanic Flair
Enjoyed the spanish influences and delightful Spanish influenced decor. Owner has great taste. Quality linens, furniture, updates. Plenty of beds we did not use being on 3. Two were left unused. Quiet neighborhood. Owner is excellent at quick communication and/or responses if questions arise but, has anticipated and given direction on anything you would need. Well done experience. Has been a “Lived in, loved in home by owners, not a vacant use rental home. Makes a difference in experience!

Nice time with family
We spent a really nice weekend with family around an army graduation. Only issues were trash not picked up from previous tenants so we had a hard time finding places to put ours, and not enough silverware for everyone. Comfortable beds, spacious house to relax, a wonderful kitchen for cooking!

Enjoyed Our Stay
Property was well maintained with a few minor inconveniences (2 kitchen chairs were missing bolts upon arrival, driveway is a little narrow to navigate, and the previous occupants left a full trash bin at the curb that was never collected). Stove needed repair which was done immediately the following day. The property layout was great and accommodated my entire family. Neighborhood is great, would stay again.

Managed Property Falls Short
There was so much potential in this property, but it fell short in expectations based on what was presented in the listing. If you realize that this property is not an “owner-listed” property but a vacant home that is a managed property it may help you lower your expectations to the reality of what you will find. We were attending a family event and arrived with correct number of beds, but not enough sheets to go with all the beds. There were not enough towels in the home (we would expect at least 1 per bed) and to make matters worse, the washer was not working so we couldn’t even do the laundry to get everyone a clean towel to use. The home is not well stocked - there was not even a “starter kit” that included dishwasher detergent or dish soap, so we had to run out and buy our own along with trash bags and other basic items that should be, at least minimally, provided. We requested a repair that never came for the washing machine. When we asked for a discount, we were only offered about a $60 refund on a nearly $1,000 stay and that refund was never even processed either. The house has some structural charm and the age of the home has potential character to make this an enjoyable stay, but the fact that the home is not being lived in (leaving it less than sufficiently stocked) and the mismanagement of the property leaves us wishing we would have chosen a different property in the same part of town.

Perfect for our group!
This home exceeded our expectations. We were in town with four adult chaperones, and nine high schools drama students for the annual Georgia Thespians Conference. The home had plenty of beds and tons of space for all of us. The kitchen had everything we needed. It was a quick 6 minute drive to the Trade Center for our event. Communication with the management company was always fast and easy. Thank you for a great stay!!!

Family Fantasy in Lights!
We wish we could have gotten in earlier due to having little ones that needed to nap, but the park across the street worked to soothe little ones. A few things need a deeper cleaning, but we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The city is interesting, and the neighborhood is as chrarming as can be! If you happen to find a lost stuffed puupy dog, let us know. Thank you...

Great House and Location
We were in town for son’s Airborne graduation. This house was in perfect location. Plenty of room and comfortable. I really love an older home and this one had plenty of charm. If you are in town, I highly recommend visiting the Infantry Museum at Fort Benning. Hopefully we can stay here again when our next son comes through. Thank you for sharing your home!

Thanksgiving family gathering
We had such a great time as a family. It was wonderful having so many bedrooms as we used 5 of the 6, and so convenient to have so many bathrooms. The location made it easy to get to all the places we needed. Our few suggestion is for the size of the home (and use eating 3 meals a day there most days) that the kitchen could be a little better stocked for misc utensils, wine glasses, dishwasher soap. Also, the kitchen chairs need some updating - to seat 10 for Thanksgiving (feed service men who couldn’t go home) we had to use patio chairs - was thankful for them being there. Three adults worked a couple days from the home and we didn’t have any WiFi issues :) Thank you making this home available to us, so that we could make our family time together special.

Great set up for mult families!
We stayed here Dec 2021 in order to attend my son’s graduation at Fort Benning. The layout and space with two rooms sharing bathrooms both up and downstairs plus other bedrooms having a dedicated bathroom was perfect for our group of 8 comprised of three families. Plenty of space for kids to play and nothing breakable or for them to get into. (Lots of plugs so you may need outlet covers if you have infant/toddlers like us. ) Grill and can opener don’t work- we wound up baking dinner instead of grilling and having to toss a can of green beans as a result. No big deal. We felt the space and location were great- beds comfortable but cleanliness especially of the floors / glass could be improved. Joe was immediately responsive any time we needed something. Thank you!

Amazing house and very spacious and clean !
The house was very clean and has enough room for everyone to stay. Really enjoyed my time with the family and friends. The rooms downstairs and upstairs are spacious and neighborhood it’s really nice as the park it’s just steps away from a nice morning walk and seeing the beautiful color of the trees change. The house had plenty of nice towels and the essentials. Definitely would stay again as this was a great VRBO property in Columbus, GA. Minutes away from downtown Riverside walks and breweries.
