From booking to checking out, our stay was awesome. Very ideal location for concerts, just a 10 minute walk to Arena district. Also, can’t beat FREE parking! Hosts were very responsive and easy to work with. House is charming, updated and fun themed. As a plant mom myself, I looooved this! Will definitely stay again if I’m in town.

Great place and location! Very clean, beds were comfortable and had PILLOWS!! So many places give you 2 sad pillows on each bed and at Jungle House we had choices!! Was absolutely wonderful. I wish I could make my plants look as wonderful as theirs!! Easy walk to Short North for dinner.Coffee was wonderful! Wish I had more time to grab some on our way out of town. The stairs are steep up to the bedrooms so if you have trouble with stairs or adventurous toddlers maybe stay somewhere else. We had no issues just something as a grandma that I noticed lol Communication was great, very clear and easy to understand all of our instructions. If we make it back to Columbus we will definitely stay with them again!

We are absolutely thrilled that you loved the comfortable beds and our abundant pillow selection—we know exactly how important a good night's sleep is! Hearing that the space was very clean will absolutely put a smile on our cleaner's face. We also love that you appreciated our thriving plants, the wonderful coffee, and the easy walk to dinner. Thank you for noting the steep stairs for future guests; it is a very helpful observation, especially from a grandma's perspective! We are also so glad our communication and instructions helped make your trip seamless. We would absolutely love to welcome you back to Columbus anytime. 😊🌿

Wonderful stay

We took thanksgiving out to Columbus for our OSU son. The kitchen is very well equipped which is great because I had to cook a full Turkey dinner! Location is great and a block from the new Lucky’s grocery store. Close drive to campus and also down to the brewey district. We loved our stay!

We were in town for a concert and our 25th wedding anniversary. Jungle house was a cute space to relax and enjoy some much needed downtime. The greenery made the space feel open and airy. The beds were comfortable and great for restorative sleep after a day on the go. The location was an easy walk to High St for great drink and dining options as well as Nationwide Arena and KEMBA Live venue. A cute park steps away from the door to just enjoy a little sunshine. From the moment I booked thru checkout Sergio and James were very communicative and responsive- from a cute welcome video, to options for customizing our stay to meet our needs, to even making the checkout as convenient as possible- will definitely be a first choice for future Columbus trips

A Pleasant Weekend in the Jungle

The home was very clean and decorated nicely. Beds were comfy, great location, and the off-street parking was a nice touch. Would have liked more useable seating in the living room and a more practical shower head. But these weren't dealbreakers. Would certainly stay again.

Beautiful home in nice neighborhood

The property was beautiful and clean. The plants were lovely. The hosts kindly offered masks and earplugs in case the streetlights or traffic was too much at night, though I didn’t find it bad. There was a gas station across the street which made it easy to grab a few essentials. The park on the other side was beautiful. It was a bit of a hike to the convention center (16 min) but closer to nice places to eat around N High street. The neighborhood felt safe to walk around. It was also a really great deal for a place to stay and enjoy Columbus! I would definitely stay here again!
