Buckeye Hangout

Overall very nice. We were in town for a wedding. Bathroom and kitchen were awesome. Games and musical instruments were appreciated. Beds were comfy. Concerns and room for improvement: Microwave, interior of fridge, fan blades, bathroom exhaust fan were all dirty upon our arrival. Huge pothole at edge of parking pad. Back outdoor furniture in poor condition. Could use mirrors in all 3 bedrooms.

Fun place for kids

We had two adults staying at the home. Comfortable and clean accommodations, great parking. My grandchildren visited during the day—we played multiple games of Buckopoly. The pinball machine was a winner. We planned to cook there which was a bit less convenient. There were no storage dishes or bags or limited spices except salt & pepper. Fortunately my daughter lived close by &, with the groceries we bought, could bring what we needed to serve & prepare meals. All in all, great location.

Very Bad neighborhood and loud

Talking with the property manager was great. I will give them that. Other than that the neighborhood is pretty rough. The neighbor themselves have tarps and random pieces of plywood up for a fence with giant gaps in it and at least 5 beware of dog signs ( I never personally seen the dog, but if it was outside, it could’ve easily just strolled out of the backyard right where you have to park. By the way, there is trash everywhere in the alley where you have to park and a train track maybe 50 yards from the house on the same side as the bedroom you WILL hear trains all night long I didn’t hardly sleep at all. They show a lot of games and things you can play there but half of them are broken or missing pieces. There is almost no kitchenware. It looks like a landlord special where they think if they paint over everything, it makes it look new and nice.. If you’re just staying in town one night for an OSU game I guess this wouldn’t be a bad choice , but if you’re visiting for a whole week, skip this one.you will be disappointed

Perfect!

We came to Columbus for the first time for a wedding. We had a group of 6 adults. This house was perfect for us! The bedrooms and beds were super comfortable. The house had everything we needed and more. We thoroughly enjoyed the record collection and playing Pac-Man. The location was also perfect. We walked to Fox in the snow cafe, and were able to walk home from the wedding. 10/10 would stay again and highly recommend!

Comfy & homey

My husband and I were taking our boys to their first OSU game! I found this perfect gem within walking distance to the stadium! The walk itself took about 39 minutes but most of the walk was through town and campus, so PLENTY of cool places/restaurant's to check out! As for the gem, as soon as we walked in it felt very inviting and homey! Of course the vintage arcade game was a huge hit, but enjoyed most of the games. The beds were very comfortable with plenty of linen, blankets if needed! We are already planning another trip down to Columbus and will absolutely stay at this gem again! Thank you so much for your hospitality!!

Better space than a hotel

The house is exactly as described it’s very clean and updated. We came into Columbus for a family baby shower and this was a perfect spot for us. The house had tons of games to play and spaces to hang out and do different things. Check in was easy and any questions I had before the trip the owner was quick to respond. We would stay here again.

Really nice place - lots of fun activities and well kept. Good location, close to lots of cbus fun. Owner was SUPER responsive to inquiries, replying almost instantly with high quality help - best in class owner support. Insta-carted batteries!!! Arcade game was sublime. Try and beat our Pinball Action game scores. We’ll go back whence we are in cbus again.

Great for a weekend away

We enjoyed our stay. Great central location. Very clean and instructions were clear. A few drawbacks: limited kitchen supplies (glasses, bowls for food prep, serving dishes), outside furniture was a bit worn. Neighborhood was reasonably quiet given the central location but definitely want to keep cars locked. Overall a good experience with very responsive host.

Lovely House

The house was so lovely! It's obvious that time and care was put into restoring this house to its original beauty. Loved that the floors and doorways looked to be original! The gate around back was a little unwieldy, and finding the offstreet parking space was a bit confusing the first time, but the trip was flawless and the house perfect for what we needed!

Perfect Location Perfect House

This property was exactly as described and was in the perfect location for our travelling to Columbus. The house was exactly as described. Three bedroom, renovated kitchen and bathroom. Our weather was a little to cold to sit outside and enjoy the front porch or the back porch but definitely would have taken advantage of these two porches if the weather permitted. I had a quick question regarding the property and received an immediate answer from the property owner. Excellent stay and would recommend this house!

Everything was pretty much as expected. Very quiet neighbors hood. Amenities available were nice. Would of have enjoyed taking a bath to ease achy muscles after riding horses all day but they pulled the drain plug so you can only take showers. Only thing else would of liked to have was a iron and ironing board available to iron our show clothes that were wrinkled in transport.
