Columbus is a small, historic county seat with a shaded town square, live oaks and a friendly, walkable downtown—ideal for low‑stress multi‑week stays with cozy cafes, local shops and easy access to parks and historic sites.
Located at the junction of I‑10 and State Highway 71 for straightforward drives, Houston is about 73 miles east if you want big‑city dining, nightlife or an international airport for weekend trips.
