Welcome to the Parker Reserve A-Frame, where nature and design meet in perfect harmony. Tucked away on five acres of private woodland, this hidden gem feels worlds away from the city yet is only a 10-minute drive to Polaris and 25 minutes to downtown Columbus. It’s the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience.
Step inside and you’ll find three beautifully appointed bedrooms and three bathrooms, comfortably accommodating up to ten guests. Outside, unwind in the bubbling hot tub beneath the trees, let the kids explore the custom nature playground crafted from a fallen oak, or cast a line in the stocked pond just steps from your door.
More than just a stay, the Parker Reserve A-Frame is a luxurious nature retreat in Columbus, a place to slow down, reconnect, and recharge without ever leaving the city.
