Bill Murray - Private Barcade and Outdoor Lounge - OSU/Clintonville/CrewStadium
Welcome to The Bill Murray, my private home.
Enjoy arcades, smart TVs and smart/adjustable beds throughout, memory foam mattresses and a stocked kitchen.
Here's a good Murray hack: convert the sleeper sofa in the living room and you can invite more friends over for a sleepover!
Immerse yourself in luxurious decor, including stone walls, granite, jetted showers and Murray art.
I fenced my backyard (6 ft) so I can hang with my dogs, win ping pong, dance on my pool table, grill empanadas, lounge out and swing around in my egg chair.
5 mins to OSU/downtown, 10 mins to airport.

Last minute reservation for a lacrosse tournament. Area was quiet and the fenced in yard was good for the dog. The house had everything that we needed for our base camp.

We had an enjoyable stay at the fun and quirky Bill Murray House in Columbus while visiting family in the area. The house fit our family of 4 perfectly. There were lots of fun things to do, and the 2 beds were comfortable. Only downside is that parking is limited and the driveway is very narrow. Our minivan just barely fit. Also, the only bathroom is upstairs (could be difficult for anyone with mobility issues). However, the host was very responsive and friendly any time I reached out with a question via text.

Fun house
Greay place to stay when visiting OSU. House has everything you need to have a good time with friends or family. The rooms are a little tight but pretty standard for an old college house. Beds and couches were comfortable for sleeping and hanging out.

Football weekend
We had an amazing time! We were in town for the UNL/OSU game. My son, his girlfriend and two of their friends stayed with us. Perfect location , walkable to the bars and campus. Fun, unique vibe. Host was amazing, answered messages promptly and was very helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Little Spot
This is a great little place to stay. It has all of your typical amenities - fridge, oven, microwave, etc... but some are turned up a notch. The shower is fantastic with the multiple sprayers and excellent water pressure. The arcade games are fun to kill time. TVs all have wifi streaming to watch. Door Dash has tons of options.
I would certainly stay here again if I'm ever in Columbus again.
