Great property for a couple. Off street parking a plus. Downtown Westerville is walkable from the property.Relaxing on the front porch swing was a highlight for morning or evening down time.Minor confusion about wi-fi password was quickly and seamlessly resolved with a simple phone call to our host.Will definitely look for a return visit on our next trip to the area.

Jared was a wonderful guest and very accommodating as we had to have someone come out and fix the air conditioner the very first day he arrived. Thankfully, it was an easy fix so he could enjoy the rest of the time while he was there.

Quiet and quaint property

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. The hosts went out of their way to communicate with us before, during and after our stay. It was a perfect place to rest after a wonderful family wedding.

This home was one of the cleanest and definitely the best equipped to make guests feel at home. The kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms were fully equipped and included many extras to make a guest feel welcome such as tissues in every room, adequate toilet paper, cards, games,books and cozy blankets for the chilly nights. Highly recommend this property which was located within easy walking distance of several excellent restaurants and shops. Located directly across from a small park on a very quiet street. Property is well lit with ample parking.

Worth a second stay

We were delighted to be able to stay here a second time. This time we attended a granddaughter’s graduation at Otterbein. It felt like coming home. All was good, as it was for our first stay. Host was accommodating, and supplies were plentiful. We especially appreciated water in the fridge and coffee on the counter. The place was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen/dining/living room spaces were great for visiting. Highly recommend staying here.

We walked everywhere!

I chose this property for two reasons: (1) Appearance (2) Proximity The house delivered on both! We walked all over the uptown area, down to the library, over to Otterbein to visit our grandson, and across the street to the park. The area invites strolling and the house is a comfortable place to relax and visit!

The neighborhood felt safe. The house was nice and freshly cleaned. The only negative was the beds were high for seniors as well as the mattresses were like sleeping on concrete slabs. Pretty uncomfortable!

We are sorry you had trouble with the firm beds, I agree with you but no one else has complained and sadly my husband has back issues. We do provide the rug and stools for anyone to use to step up to get on the beds.

Family Vacation

Very nice additions to an older house. Really makes it very modern, and we loved it. Very quiet neighborhood and the park across the street was perfect for our 4 yr old. Great location on the outskirts of Polaris and a 20 minute drive to the zoo. Only thing we would suggest would be a Kureg or single cup coffe maker.

Thank you so much for staying at the house. I originally considered a Keurig but the places we have stayed usually have a coffee maker. I love a Keurig because I don’t drink coffee but tea! I will definitely go ahead and get one.

Perfect Getaway

This house is amazing! It is perfectly stocked with everything you could need to have a relaxing getaway. I used the amazing kitchen everyday, the bathroom upstairs is a dream and the bed was so comfortable. We were here for 10 days as a working vacation. The porch is perfect to watch the deer and wildlife in the beautiful park across the street. Parking is super easy and private. The hosts have thought of everything and are super easy to deal with. This is a great house. If we ever need to stay in Westerville again, we will stay here.

Singing Birds

One very cool aspect of the house is actually the many bird sounds you can hear early in the morning. My family and I aren't used to it so waking up to birds chirping was a nice surprise! The home was great, clean, and nice to play board games and chill out with friends and family whike at the home.

Cozy Christmas

Son & Daughter in Law who are Westerville residents, hosted family Christmas. 13 was a few too many to be housed within their walls, so we rented this Craftsman for overflow!! Over the past 2 decades, I have rented many houses and this is hands down the cleanest property of the lot.Location was great for us, about 2 miles from family and very close to downtown. Neighborhood, with its narrow streets made the Christmas decorations magical!Owner laid out all details for checkin and out. Definitely recommend!
