House was amazing, wish we had a longer stay. Came in with my parents, siblings, and their families for a wedding. Plenty of room for all 16 of us.

We had a wonderful stay celebrating New Year's at the mansion. Each bedroom was comfortable and the mansion itself is a feast for the eyes. Keep in mind that 2 of the full bathrooms are only accessible via bedrooms. Everyone had plenty of space and loved exploring every inch of this place. Highly recommend for a fun and special trip!

This was a great place to stay. We were able to walk all through town and over to rising park. It has large comfortable bedrooms. The home is well appointed. We needed a large home for family and it accommodated us all so well. The commute to the airport was easy and under 40 minutes. The commute to OSU in Columbus was about the same, so it was perfect for graduation day. The glass museum was a great visit and we highly recommend 1809 ale house, the food was awesome. We didn’t get to do our favorite hike close by at Christmas Rock due to rain but maybe next time.
