This 2 floor home was built in the 1870s, so please be mindful of the original hardwood floors, and interior brick.

The bottom floor has a living room with a couch (sleeps 1 comfortably) large dining space, dedicated workspace, full kitchen, 2 seater bar, and bathroom.

Access to the back porch is from the kitchen, where you will find 4 chairs and an outdoor table. The string lights can be plugged in outside next to the door to light up this space.

The upstairs is where you will find both bedrooms.

The master bedroom has a queen bed (sleeps 2), and a master bathroom with 2 sinks, a shower, and jacuzzi tub. Fire up those jets! :)

The 2nd bedroom has a twin bed (sleeps 1), and a queen bed (sleeps 2).

Both bedrooms have spacious closets with hangers as well.

The guests will be able to access the entire home and the 1 car garage attached to the house. One door on the first floor is a locked utility closet.

The 1 car garage is currently in its original state from over 140 years ago. It opens and closes like barn doors and fits 1 sedan or SUV.

*If you drive a large truck it would be a tight fit pulling in from the alley, so we recommend using street parking.

*Please refer to the pictures and let us know if you have additional questions.

Additionally, we are German Village and Columbus experts, so if you need recommendations please ask.

Any method of communication acceptable by Vrbo is accepted.

Well to say this was a stressful experience is not a lie! We did not receive our property access info until 1 hour before check in. We contacted the host and he informed us there was some tecnical difficulties with vrbo and they lost our reservation. The place was not cleaned but he rushed to make it right the best he could. We had to wait until 5:30 while they cleaned but the host explained what happened and offered to cancel with a full refund. When we explained we had no where else to go, he gave us a good discount for our trouble. We all tried to make the best of a bad situation. The place is comfortable for a nights stay and within walking distance of several restaurants. Parking is a bit tricky so be prepared! I didnt get the impression this was a normal occurance so I wouldnt let this experience detour you from booking. Just make sure you confirm everything with the host!

Beds were clean and comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet. Our car fit into the small garage and we were thankful for it. The hosts were helpful, kind, and quick to respond to communication. Home would be perfect for a small family traveling in a small vehicle, maybe with a small pet (yard is fenced).

Very beautiful home with some very beautiful original features. Well cared for. My children and I had a wonderful time. We were able to visit all the places I loved when I was growing up in Columbus. The owners did a wonderful job of having everything ready. We didn’t need to ask for anything. Would love to be able to stay here again.

Overall, the stay was satisfactory for a one-night stay. The location is in an alley, and parking is inconvenient, as we had to park three blocks away since the garage they included is only for small cars. They said it has A/C, and while it was cool on the first floor, it was quite warm upstairs where the bedroom was, but they provided a fan, so that was helpful. Upon entering the house, it had a strong cleaning smell that caused some discomfort for us with sensitive smell. The closet in the upstairs bedroom had a deadbolt that only a key could open, and the light was still on inside, so it bothered us just a bit. Other than that, it is a neat neighborhood for shopping.

Great location, charm of a historic house, great for family and dog to hang out, responsive host, a few understandable quirks of an older home like sticky doors and upstairs rooms struggled to be cool on hot days, but nothing that got in the way of a fun family stay. Listing just as described.

Cute property in the heart of German Village, central to attractions. Check in process was easy and host accommodated our slightly earlier check in that was appreciated. House is older and Keurig machine didn’t work but overall it was fine for a one night stay.

Cute house in a cute village!

Such an amazing property! Our family enjoyed walking around the neighborhood. So many interesting houses! The neighbors were very friendly. Jacuzzi was really nice.We lucked out with their free garage parking space but bigger cars would still be able to park close by. It was in walking distance to many very popular bars and restaurants. It was only a few minutes drive from COSI and the Botanical gardens (the reason for our trip). Really great location to visit the city!

Not as advertised

The neighborhood and the property were not at all what the photo portrayed. Trash was in front of the garage, yard was unkempt, the exterior wall was filthy. The downstairs bathroom was much too small, the upstairs bathroom was nicer, but one of the drains did not work. It was supposed to be a family celebration, but the total experience was very disappointing.

Great location, aesthetically pleasing

Most of the lightbulbs needed changed, jacuzzi got cold before it was even half filled, stairs were almost black from dirt, button to turn on jaccuzi was under a stack of towels. Will not be staying here again but it was fine overall. Still disappointed in the lack of lighting.
