We enjoyed our stay at this property. Plenty of space. Love that almost every bedroom has its own bathroom. Only wish the weather had been better to use the lovely outdoor space.

Great space to accommodate out group. Bedroom layout was perfect to give everyone space with different schedules. Location was convenient to local restaurants, markets and walking to south campus. Downtown is quick. Nice streets for getting out for a walk.

This home is perfect for groups! Having a dedicated bathroom for almost every bedroom was ideal for our needs (4 couples traveling together). The property was as advertised. Beautifully decorated, clutter free, awesome outdoor space. Communication provided quick responses. Would definitely stay here again.

Family Football Weekend

This property was PERFECT for our extended family weekend getaway. Rooms were spacious, everything we needed in the kitchen, and greatly enjoyed the basement space for some competitive Ping-Pong fun! If the weather had been just a bit better, we definitely would have enjoyed the beautiful outdoor space as well.

Great House for Your Stay in Columbus

This property looked exactly like the photos in the listing. Everything was very clean and in good condition. The games in the basement are a nice addition as well. The beds and pillows were very comfortable to sleep on. The property manager was communicative and very helpful. I would definitely recommend this listing for anyone looking to stay in Columbus.

Communication was flawless with quick response time to any inquiries. Parking was ample considering the location, where parking can be tricky. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, including coffee, filters, sugar, and cream pods. The only thing missing was an ice maker in the freezer, but otherwise we had everything we needed.

We have been using VRBO for at least 6 years. This is, hands down the nicest property we have rented. The house was in a very safe neighborhood. The house itself is very spacious and well maintained. All of the fixtures, appliances, bedding and etc are very high quality. There is an upstairs master suite with a king size bed. There are 2 other large bedrooms with queen beds and another full sized bath upstairs. Main level has a large bedroom at the back of the house with a large bathroom and a half bath is located in the hallway. Basement has a large bedroom with a queen bed and another large full bath room. We had 5 adults and 3 teenagers in our group. This is also a great house for cooking - lots of quality pots and pans It seemed like we were less than 10 minutes from anywhere we wanted to go. Thank you for a great stay - we stayed for 6 days.
