Welcome…
We look forward to welcoming you to Columbus, Georgia. We’ve renovated 13 houses over the past 17 years. Inside them you’ll find tall ceilings, heart pine floors, a winding staircase, mouldings and colorful stained glass. There are big wavy windows, a few antique tubs and beaded board in almost every bathroom. Even the doors are original, with the ”cross and open Bible” design. Almost every room has a fire place and it’s original mantle, because I believe sitting beside a fire is one of the great joys in life. 
There are gardens with Tea Olive, Gardenias and Camelias, Crepe Myrtles and various other native plants. There’s an enormous “Banana Tree” at the end of the Main House porch. It bears no fruit, but sends fragrant “banana smells” all spring and summer. Almost every suite and cottage has an outside entrance and most of the porches have rockers or porch swings, because one of the other great things in life is sitting on the porch, especially here in the Deep South.
It is our hope that you will find the same joy here that we have found. We delight in preserving the past and sharing it with you.

“Without a doubt, the Rothschild-Poundhouse Inn is a special retreat. Guests can find comfort and joy here. But more than that, they find hope—that old homes can be saved and that beauty need not bow to progress.” —Cassandra M. Vanhooser, Southern Living [read the review (PDF)]
