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!

We stayed here in between selling our home and moving into our home. Hosts were very welcoming and friendly. Their attention to detail and the amenities were top notch. My dogs loved the dog park. They even had dog toys and a cooler of fresh water for the pups. Would stay here again.

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 stay for people with pets. And if you like to stay in and cook this is the place!

This is one of the nicest most organized clean properties that I have stayed at! it was so easy with our pets. there was a dog park, fire pit hose to wash things with, they seem to have thought of every little detail to make our stay very very comfortable. Everything was marked very clearly so you knew exactly where to put things! If you like to cook and have fun meals together you'll find everything you need in the well start kitchen! would definitely stay here again!!!

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.

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!

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.

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.

Weekend fishing trip

Stayed at Calico Cottage while on a fishing trip to Alum Creek Reservoir. Great location. Minutes from the lake, stores and Cabela’s. Extremely clean and every necessity you could possibly need was provided. Would definitely come back on our next fishing trip.
