This property in Columbus is everything you would want it to be. The rooms are spacious and have their own on suite bathrooms. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, glassware, utensils, pots and pans, coffee maker and blender. The living area is spacious and has a very nice sized tv. Outdoors you will find comfort too. The front has a nice porch with adirondack chairs that you can sit in comfortably and enjoy that morning cup of coffee. The back has a hot tub, grill, small firepit tabletop, and outdoor games for everyone to enjoy. The area is a nice one too. Right across the street is a large grocery store and you are minutes from downtown as well as OSU. We loved our stay and hope to have Charles host us again!

Mary, you clearly made the most of both ends of the house, from coffee in the porch Adirondack chairs to the hot tub and grill out back. The spacious suites and stocked kitchen helped, and having groceries across the street and downtown close by keeps things easy. The porch will be ready for your next visit.

Charles was a great host with pre, during, and post stay communication. The property has certainly been lived in, but worked out great for our group of friends in town for the Luke Combs concert. Close to just about anything you could need for a short term or long term stay. We would visit again.

Would Recommend!

We rented this house for Thanksgiving weekend. It was a perfect place for us six adults who stayed there and the seven kids between us who all go to OSU to have dinner with us! Plenty of room, clean, all the amenities you could need and Kroger literally steps out the door! Charles, the host, was quick to answer any questions we had and was easy to get in touch with. Would definitely recommend and/or stay again!

The place was nice. Needed a few upgrades. Smelled a little like dog urine but overall we enjoyed our stay. Need rods in closets for hanging clothes. Loved bar in kitchen and all of the stools. Also liked the fans in the rooms. Need to provide more towels.

close to campus

Overall the property met our basic needs. The fourth bedroom is quite small, no dresser or functional closet. Beds were comfortable. The gravel front and back yard were very hot in the July weather.Property is more of a party like venue, ideal for OSU related events with its proximity to campus. Less a property for mini-vacation.

Great Outdoor Space

We had 3 families traveling together for a Horse Show at the Ohio Fairgrounds. It was pretty close so made travel there and back convenient. We enjoyed having to not share bathrooms and everyone had their own sleeping space. Often we sat around the kitchen counter on the many stools and talked! The best part was the back yard area. We did have a big truck and 2 cars and we took up every bit of parking but made it work! The 3 outdoor couches with the cozy gas fire table made a great space to relax after being in a dirty barn all day. And the hot tub was magic to soak in! Great Stay!

Overall- great!

There were only 2 things that could have been better about this property. The floors had not been mopped in some time and were dirty. The neighborhood was not terrible, but it was an urban downtown area with some less than considerate neighbors. The location was perfect however for attending a conference at the convention center. This home allowed all of us coworkers to have our own room and bathroom while enjoying the common areas when we felt social. There was a Kroger across the lane and easily in walking distance. Downtown Columbus did not disappoint.
