Columbus and Ft. Benning sit about 30 minutes from the house. That is close enough for a Friday-to-Sunday on Lake Harding without making a production of the drive. Down Yonder is in Salem, Alabama — 259 Lee Road 339 — with a private deep-water dock and a saltwater pool.
Four bedrooms and 3.5 baths sleep about ten, so a few families or a small crew can take the whole place. Check-in is 4:00 PM; checkout is 10:00 AM. The days in between belong to the water.
Book direct by email if you want to skip the listing sites — often a better rate. Or reserve the same house on Airbnb if that checkout is already open on your phone.
