We know what it means to feel far from home.

Every Home Front Stays property is cared for by an Army family who understands PCS moves, short notice, and long distances from loved ones. Whether you're visiting family at Fort Benning, relocating, or just passing through — we've built these homes to make that easier.

Our Story

Welcome home, from our family to yours.

Welcome home! I'm Tara Layne. My husband Bo and I met just as he was finishing Officer Candidate School here at Ft. Benning. We have been through Ranger school, deployments, PCS moves, and along the way made lifelong memories and friends. The Army gave us many gifts, but our relationships and our time here in Columbus is at the top of our list.

We are the proud and busy parents to our four precious children. These homes have been the backdrop for so many of our shared memories, and we are grateful they will be a safe space for your own. Whether you're in town to visit your soldier, work, or see family — you're welcome here, and we are grateful you chose to stay with us.

So — explore, eat well, and make yourselves at home. Welcome to the family!
