Great location that was close to all the activities we were interested in. The fenced-in back yard was perfect not only for privacy, but for bringing our dog and allowing her freedom to roam without having her on leash everytime she went outside.

Anniversary Trip
Great property and location, perfect for our needs of a Columbus base camp for adventures around the area. Comfy beds, plenty of space, and the garage parking was ideal in a busy city. Highly recommended for any Columbus stay, especially extended stays.

Just like home, but way better
This was the perfect getaway for our family. Our child is best accommodated when we can keep daily routines in place. Back in the old days when we stayed at hotels, it was a nightmare. I mean who wants to run into strangers every time you head to the hot tub? Here they could enjoy familiar routines like playing games, fixing & eating dinner as a family, watching TV and also have the novelty of the hot tub, video games, and the teen friendly attic room. The kitchen is well-equipped for a variety of food prep, even baking! Nice table and kitchen island seating for enjoying each others’ company. The back yard is beautiful, even in the late winter with the warm white lights. Great host. We hope to come stay again!

Convenient Clean Home
Very nice property, felt like home and the garage was an added plus.
A good mid-exercise walk to get to Ohio Stadium.
Location is on a somewhat major road so at times is busy with traffic, but that dies down.
Overall. A pleasant stay.

This lovely property in Columbus was a perfect base camp for our eclipse adventure. Well-equipped, pet friendly(!), and very clean. Nice location for exploring a bit of downtown, and only an hour's drive from the park we chose to be in the zone!
