Needed a place to stay while attending a family funeral. It was an excellent home with everything we needed to be able to rest quietly during the week.

We had a very nice stay. The house was clean and spacious. The check in instructions were easy to check in and to gain access the house. Our hosts, Stephen and Beth were responsive and answered our questions promptly. I wish were staying longer to get a chance to enjoy the spacious backyard and the patio firepit, but maybe next time. Great place for a family needing more space.

This beautiful house sit on acreage that backs up to the Olentangy river. We spotted deer in the backyard. The house was very clean and ready for us upon our arrival. Good communication with a renter.

This house was huge, comfortable, and very clean. We came for a family trip to the Columbus zoo and it was perfect, only 10 mins away. One thing of note- there is minimal kitchen utensils, so if you plan on doing a decent amount of cooking, I would suggest you bring some extra cookie sheets, tongs, spatulas, etc. We were able to communicate with the hosts super quickly when we had questions and they were very helpful. Will definitely consider staying here again for our next zoo trip!
