Hosts Sondra and Jim were extremely friendly and accommodating. The house is beautiful with plenty of space, very clean with comfortable rooms. We were met with homemade breads and preserves!! It was quiet and the large windows looked out over woodsy property where you can take a relaxing walk. It was great from start to finish.

The Porch House

We loved the Porch House. It retained the vintage charm that is a part of Columbus history along with being a thoroughly updated modern home. Although just minutes from downtown Columbus, the home was in a peaceful wooded setting, easily enjoyed by the many windows and porches overlooking the views. The home was beautifully furnished, with every comfort provided and spotlessly clean. My husband found the place “wonderful” and my daughter said that the rental photos did not adequately reflect how lovely the home was. Top review marks from our family!

Amazing place to stay… so relaxing!!

Every year, our trip to the family reunion wouldn’t be complete without staying at The Porch House — it’s truly the highlight of our year. This home is absolutely beautiful, with a warm, welcoming environment that makes you feel relaxed the moment you walk in. The attention to detail is incredible — from the stylish decor to the thoughtful amenities, everything is designed for comfort.One of our favorite parts? The fresh-baked bread and homemade jelly waiting for us when we arrive. That special touch speaks volumes about the kind of host you’re dealing with — someone who truly cares and goes the extra mile to make your stay memorable.The house is spotless, perfectly equipped, and full of charm. We always leave feeling refreshed and grateful — and we’re already counting down the days until next year!

Understated Beauty

The pictures and description does this property no justice. Its so beautiful and peaceful my grandmother said the worse part about her stay was that she cant "pick up the house and take it home". The owners are wonderful and very accommodating. Like seriously nothing compares. They have thought of everything. Just wow. I want to go back to Columbus, MS for no other reason but to stay there again.
