My daughters are in college at OWU and OSU. This was the perfect spot for a relaxing weekend together. It's in a great location to get out and about but we mostly sat in the sunshine of the dog park with our 2 pups and enjoyed each other company. The entire cottage is well equiped! We didn't use a fraction of the amenities this time, but we will be back!

Beautiful little cottage for a weekend getaway. The first thing we noticed when we walked in was how clean and organized everything was. They had a lot of things labeled to help minimize confusion and we really appreciated that. There were plenty of activities for the kids during our weekend stay. Our 4 year old son enjoyed riding the numerous power wheels that they had in the big garage and our 1 year old enjoyed rolling the balls and playing the giant connect 4. They even had zig zag scooters for adults which my wife and I had a lot of fun with. Doc was extremely helpful and super responsive. We will definitely be back in the future!

Beautiful Property and Friendly Host

Came for Memorial Day weekend getaway. Brought our dogs who loved the dog park to run free. As did our 2 yr old. The toy barn is stacked with all kinds of games, ride em cars, drifters, any thing you could want. Clean property, and lots to do nearby. Doc and his wife even provided baby specific toys and pack n play crib for our arrival. Very communicative and kind people. Baby enjoyed his first fire pit, s’mores and golf cart ride! Highly recommend.

What a Treat for Me & My Pups

The Calico Cottage was more of a retreat than the business trip I was using it for! Perfect, quiet space with everything you could need in a convenient location to stores & restaurants. They even have a huge private dog park with a firepit inside of it so guests can hang out while their dogs run around like crazy. We will definitely be back!!

Great host and property

This was easily one of the best STRs I've stayed at. Exactly as advertised, EXCEPTIONALLY clean, modern, thoughtful, and comfortable. Perfect for a couple or small family traveling with pets. The half acre dog park complete with fire pit and seating area makes for an awesome relaxation spot with your fur kids. The owner was lightning fast to respond and always available. I'd book again in a heartbeat.

Lovely Cabin Centrally Located

Beautiful property centrally located. Very easy to get around to Columbus, Polaris Mall, Easton Center, Worthington, and Delaware. There are so many amenities-everything is on premise. The owners thought of everything so there is no need to bring a lot of extra items. Very clean and nicely decorated.Would highly recommend for couples, family, fur baby parents, and parents with young children.

Best Cottage on VRBO

"I booked the cottage just a couple of days before my arrival, and everything went smoothly. The owners were great at communicating, and the cottage was perfect—equipped with everything I needed. I felt completely safe on the property. Having traveled to all 50 states, I can confidently say this is one of the best rentals I've found on VRBO. The owner even provided excellent restaurant recommendations. I'm hesitant to share this gem because I want to keep it a secret, but I will definitely be back!"

Holiday stay at the Calico Cottage

What a lovely visit at the Calico Cottage. We have family in Powell, and we’re always looking for a close place to stay with our dogs. This was the perfect place, in a great area with just the right amenities. The only downside was trying to get our dogs to leave the amazing dog park on the property. They absolutely loved it too! Will definitely be back.

Great Get Away

Such a cute, homey feel! The dog park was a big hit with our dog, being a city dog, he doesn’t usually get to zoom off leash. Nearby beautiful neighborhood with sidewalks for dog walks. We wanted for nothing, very well stocked kitchen and bathroom. Hot tub was lovely! The hosts even accommodated a late check out to better facilitate our travel home. It was a great get away.

Rural Paradise

We found our perfect place to stay, while visiting family in Ohio! The owners/hosts were very kind and approachable for conversations. They attended to any needs, promptly. A lot of thought was put into their property and units to accommodate anyone and any age, from electric toy vehicles, basketball, corn hole, hot tubs to fire pits! The fenced in dog park was a plus. The unit itself had everything one would need for a relaxing stay! We will definitely be staying here again, when visiting Ohio.
