About this property

Robin's Egg ~ Private Downtown, Pet-Friendly Gem

***** Most reviewed SUPERHOST in Columbus *****

Welcome to The Robin's Egg, a private getaway with a fenced backyard ideal for pets. This cozy retreat features a full kitchen and all the comforts of home. Perfect for pet lovers and small families looking for a peaceful stay near downtown amenities.

Walk or ride the complimentary bicycles to see all the surrounding architecture. (must bring helmet)

This beautiful historic home has been newly remodeled with all the finest comforts of home. This is the best location available to rent in Columbus, only steps from everything. Next to Irwin Gardens and 5 architectural monuments. A photographer's dream.
Safe and quiet.

The Robin's Egg fancies a life of long ago, with warm natural hardwoods and detail in the finishings. But yet, it settles itself on a quiet block of modern Columbus architecture.
This was the completion of a project to restore this beautiful home once owned by my beloved friend, Aaron Fry. A loving and giving member of the community, he will be missed.
This special place is close to everything, making it easy to plan your visit.

The entire home is to you.

Enjoy your stay. I'm a text away if needed.

Welcoming neighbors and lovely downtown views.

Columbus VRBO

This is a very old house in a noisy neighborhood. The house has been very nicely renovated and is very comfortable. The location is great for accessing downtown Columbus.

Girls Weekend Out

6 women stayed in this house for a weekend and attended an event in Downtown Columbus. The location provided an easy walk to our event. The house was clean and decently stocked with necessities. It was the perfect size for our group to eat meals, hang out, and play cards. If we attend another event in Columbus, we will be back!
