Columbus, Georgia, situated along the Chattahoochee River, offers visitors a dynamic blend of military history, outdoor recreation, and Southern culture. As Georgia's third-largest city and home to Fort Moore (formerly Fort Benning), Columbus attracts military families, history enthusiasts, and outdoor adventurers drawn to the Chattahoochee RiverWalk and urban whitewater rapids. The city's revitalized downtown, growing arts scene, and proximity to both Atlanta and Alabama create diverse opportunities for short-term rental hosts serving business travelers, military visitors, and weekend tourists.
Columbus maintains steady short-term rental demand throughout the year with moderate seasonality. Peak demand occurs during spring and fall when weather is optimal for outdoor activities and Fort Benning events. Summer maintains decent occupancy despite heat, while winter shows the lowest but stable demand. The presence of Fort Benning, Columbus State University, and regional business activities creates consistent year-round bookings that stabilize the market beyond pure leisure seasonality.
Columbus mandates a STR permit, including background check, annual renewal, permit display in the unit, and compliance with health, safety, and zoning codes. Hosts must also display a permit number in advertisements.
Managing an Airbnb in Columbus can be challenging due to the competition from hotels and other short-term rentals, changing regulations, and guest expectations.
