About this property

Welcome! The Darby House is named for Colonel William O Darby

Whether your stay is a PCS, TDY, awaiting quarters, graduation from BCT, RASP, or Ranger School or you are simply here to visit friends and family, we are confidently at your service. We welcome pets, but do require that you clean up after them in the home and OUTSIDE the home. Failure to do so will result in up to $250 cleaning fee in addition to damages caused from pet. There is a fee of $25 per pet weighing 20lbs or less. Pets weighing over 20lbs will be charged $50 each.

10 mins from Fort Benning Main Gate, your commute to training will be a breeze. Located off I-185 gives easy access to all of Columbus's attractions. We are less than 20 minutes from the consistently popular Uptown Columbus, the scenic Riverwalk, and local restaurants! Try Bodega 1205 at 19-12th street, in Columbus Ga for excellence in all things in Hispanic cuisine. Ask for the owner Caesar, a 20 year Special Operations Army Veteran. The food is "to die for"! Tell him Ranger buddy Mike sent you.

Our Guests will have access to the entire home with exception of the storage shed in the back yard.

We did not bring pets. Location was good for where we needed to be. It was a very comfortable study. Everything was so clean and that was our number one priority. We had good set up and good space. Would stay here again!

The host was welcoming and communicated well. There was an issue at check-in where we were delayed due to the home still being cleaned and was asked to come back at a later time. There was an issue with a leak coming from a light switch on the wall which was soaking the carpet at the front of the master bedroom. The host had a technician out the next day to resolve the issue and it was fixed. The area around the home was concerning at times due to police activity at the house a few doors down, but overall it was quiet.

ADEQUATE on SHORT NOTICE

Adequate for one night on short notice. The 150 price is misleading. Our total cost was 355. Neighborhood is modest. General feel is outdated and decor is overkilled. Be sure to read the ample house rules, or the price will go up.On the positive side, hosts were responsive and accommodating.

No experience

I did not stay because the house was double booked
Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024
Response from VrboOwner on 24 Apr 2024
We apologize for the administrative error causing double booking. Although we have been in buisness for 6 years with an average score of 4.8 on Airbnb, we are new to the VRBO platform. We are in the process of working with VRBO to fix the kinks. Thanks for your patience and interest.
