Just what we needed

The Gathering Place was in a great location with the amenities we needed. We visited from out of stat for our son's Ranger school graduation. It was just what we were looking for as a place for all of us to decompress & relax. The beds were also very comfortable. It is in a quiet neighborhood & a good location near the base & highways. Communication with the owner was great. I would recommend to others as well as stay here again.

Very Comfortable Relaxing stay

We came down for a family members turning green ceremony at Fort Benning and really wanted a relaxing spot for our soldier to get away from it all and have some home cooked meals. This property was just that and we couldn't have been in a better environment. The neighborhood is clean and quiet. The kitchen had all of the necessary equipment to make the meals requested and the home felt like home. This was the perfect property for our extended weekend stay and close to where we needed to be. You won't be disappointed if you choose to book this property.

Pictures don't do the house justice

We choose this rental for the amount of beds and there being a seperate shower that my geriatric father wouldn't have to step into a bathtub. The pictures didn't do the house justice. Nice quiet neighborhood, clean and cozy. Great communication.GO ARMY!

Great option to stay in Columbus!

Property was in a safe and quiet neighborhood, only a short drive to shopping, dining, downtown attractions and to Ft. Moore. Host was responsive and since we were coming during the coldest, snowiest Jan. in GA, was kind enough to confirm road conditions for us and turned the heat up in advance of our arrival. Home was inviting, had all the amenities you could need and quite comfortable. Will definitely book again if I’m back in the area!

BEST VRBO in GA!

The owner had excellent communication and made check in/out super easy. The property had tons of room. Very comfortable beds too. The kitchen has all the comforts of home including tons of spices, coffee and good creamer! Comfortable living room and backyard to hang out. Separate living room for kids too. Beautiful and quiet neighborhood. Close to Fort Moore, restaurants, and shopping.

Perfect for a graduation celebration or any visit!

Perfect! Will not hesitate to book again without looking if we have the opportunity to get back in the area. The other parties in our group that stayed in hotels were so jealous. Clean, accommodating, spacious, affordable, & safe. Quiet neighborhood right in between everything in the area. Excellent stay!

Clean property and thoughtful extras

My husband and I stayed with another couple for a weekend. Property was clean with plenty of towels and just the right kitchen essentials along with some extras - we were grateful for the bottled water, butter, pancake mix, syrup, coffee, etc that got us through the first couple of days. Great location and comfy living quarters. We enjoyed our stay!

Prefect Gathering Place

We stayed there last November for our grandsons turning green ceremony. It was exactly what we wanted. Decided to book it again for his turn blue ceremony and graduation. We enjoyed the house because you can stay in a place like home. Nice house and furnishings, quite neighborhood and close to everything like the Infantry Museum. Worth the visit. Perfect host and easy to talk to and listens. Would definitely stay there when in the area.

Why they chose this property

Quiet, safe, peaceful neighborhood located within minutes of 185 and just 15 minutes to the Visitors Gate at Fort Benning. The mattresses were purchased in January 2020. The home is located within literally minutes of a major mall, CFA, Starbucks, and many other popular places. A major hospital is located within 5 minutes!
