Summary: The house is very clean and in a nice, quiet neighborhood. The house is minutes from everything, including the base. One of the rare places that actually has enough toilet paper to last for more than one person! Appliances, including BBQ, were clean and in good working order. I will look to rent again for the next time we are in Columbus.

Summary: This home needs a lot of improvement. There is not one comfortable piece of furniture. The power in the two upstairs bathrooms keep tripping the breaker. The lights could not be on and run anything else, hairdryer or curling iron. Turn off lights and it was ok. House just wasn’t good for us.

Summary: This house was beyond perfect! The hosts were gracious and went above and beyond to create a home away from home. Exactly as listed, I would give 6 stars if that was an option. Perfect for families with young ones. My family was in town for our grandmother, Addie Smith Green's Homegoing Celebration. We consisted of 9 adults, 2 toddlers, and 1 infant. The way the rooms are set up made is possible for every adult to have an adult-size bed and for the children to be in the rooms with their parents without being in bed with them. Great house if you have an elderly family member with limited mobility as well! There was an accident in the playroom area, I contacted the hosts immediately, and by the time we returned from the services, everything was fixed. My family was so impressed with the experience it is officially the genesis of a new family tradition. 6 stars! Also, if you are STILL reading this review, they do offer a MILITARY DISCOUNT! Make sure you read thru their entire listing and House Manual when you receive it...

Summary: The property was just as pictured, was very clean and spacious for a large size family. The beds was extremely comfortable. We was able to bring our soilder back to the house, as the location is a short drive from base. Could use a little more seating in the living room area for larger families, but the house perfect for either way for us to still be together.
