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.

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.

Great Property !

If your looking to stay in Columbus,, this is the house to rent. Close to OSU and the State Fairgrounds it’s a short drive to unlimited restaurants on High Street. The house was spotless, freshly painted and had new furniture in every room. Off street parking is an added bonus in this area. The kids ( and adults ) loved the PAC Man video game. Thanks for a wonderful stay !

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!

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!

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.

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!

We enjoyed staying at this house and would stay here again.
