There are TVs throughout the home, so whether the family wants to gather together or everyone needs a little downtime, there's space to do both.
★ Made for Family Time
The best part of a graduation isn't just the ceremony—it's having everyone together.
Prepare breakfast in the fully stocked kitchen, gather around the gorgeous dining room table with seating for 8, fire up the grill for dinner, or take the celebration outside.
The large, fully fenced private backyard gives kids room to play while adults can relax in the outdoor seating area.
And when you're ready to unwind, there's a private hot tub and fire pit waiting for you.
★ The Kids Won't Be Asking "What Are We Doing?"
The Ambassador gives everyone something to do when you're back from the graduation ceremony.
Our dedicated Game Room includes:
• Arcade games • Shuffleboard • Pool table • Foosball • Ping pong • Life-size chess & checkers • Many more games to choose from
Outside, you'll find:
• Basketball • Cornhole • Jenga • Kids' swingset
For younger guests, there's also a dedicated play room with toys, books, and puzzles.
So while the kids are having their own adventure, the adults can actually sit back and enjoy theirs.
★ Relaxation for the Adults
Graduations can be busy.
Between travel, ceremonies, family meals, and making sure everyone gets where they need to be, having a comfortable place to come home to matters.
Soak in the hot tub. Gather around the fire pit. Pour yourself a cup of coffee and enjoy some quiet time. Relax under the string lights and Georgia skies on comfortable outdoor seating. Or stretch out in the oversized living room while everyone else enjoys the game room.
There's even a dedicated workspace if you need to take care of a little work during your stay.
★ Don't Leave Without the Family Photo
Your graduate's big celebration deserves some great pictures.
Capture the moment with our Instagram-worthy mural created by a local artist capturing the famous Riverwalk, or gather the whole family together in the spacious backyard.
These are the moments you'll look back on for years.

I’m so glad to hear your group had a great time with the game room and that getting to Ft. Benning from the home was convenient. We’d be delighted to have you back whenever your travels bring you to the area again.
We came for my son’s turning green ceremony. Very clean and convenient location to base. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit and the comfy beds! The host was extremely responsive and helpful. We will be staying here again for our son’s Turning Blue graduation!

I’m so happy to hear you had such a wonderful experience with your stay! Our cleaning team works really hard to make everything spotless, and I’ll be sure to share your compliments with them. It’s great to know you found the beds and amenities so comfortable and well-appointed. You’re always welcome back anytime—would love to host you again in the future.
We stayed here for my son’s Turning Green Ceremony. It was perfect. Spacious inside with lots of seating outside. We played cornhole, baseball, and lots of arcades. Kyle was responsive with changes, questions, and general information. I would definitely recommend this location for large family gatherings!!!

I’m so glad to hear the house felt spacious and that all the games were a hit! It was truly a pleasure hosting you and your family for such a special occasion. Congratulations again to your son on his Turning Green graduation, and you’re always welcome back whenever you’re in town.
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful and extremely clean short term rental! There were up to 8 of us staying over the 4 nights we were in town. Kyle was so responsive, kind, and the most amazing host! The couch was huge in the living room and we had plenty of place for all of us to sit and be comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and the dining spaces accommodated us all. The 4 bedrooms were great with comfortable beds and linens. 3 full bathrooms were great for all of us to have our own space. Although we didn't use the outdoor space, it looked inviting with the fire pit, hot tub, and outdoor games. This rental had a great game room with shuffle board, a multigame game table with pool & foosball, 2 arcade machines, and a tic tac toe and chess games on the wall. Although we didn't use this room much, my brother in law used one of the arcade machines a couple of times and loved it! Kyle thought of every detail in this house to make it a truly great place for guests. Overall, our stay was wonderful and if we come back to Columbus, we would not hesitate to stay with Kyle again!

You were truly a fantastic guest, and I really appreciate how considerate you were throughout your stay. I’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime!
This VRBO was an outstanding experience for our entire group. Every detail was accounted for. My top two priorities—cleanliness and comfortable beds—were exceeded here.The property exceeded our expectations in several key areas:1. Impeccable Cleanliness: The property was immaculate upon arrival, reflecting a high standard of maintenance.2. Comfort: The beds were really comfortable, allowing for a restful night’s sleep that is rarely found in rental properties.3. Spacious Layout: The home is both functional and well laid out, providing ample room for our group to relax without feeling crowded.4. Private Outdoor Space: The backyard is large and offers good privacy. The addition of the firepit and hot tub made it the perfect setting to hang out.5. Amenities: The inclusion of various games was a great touch, and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything needed for preparing meals.6. Quality Renovations: The entire home appears to be newly renovated, featuring modern, clean, and high-quality finishes throughout.Members of our group who are seasoned travelers and frequent VRBO users agreed that this is the best property they have stayed in. This rental is a rare find; if you see it available for your dates, you had better grab it fast.
