About this property

The Garden Villa - A Beautiful Hidden Gem.

Discover a splendid oasis in the heart of the city, tailored perfectly for you and your companion. This premium and authentic short-term rental experience is curated by attentive hosts, ensuring a delightful stay in a charming location embraced by nature and tranquility.

Nestled within a private European-inspired garden lies the Garden Villa, an unparalleled retreat situated in the northwest suburb of Columbus. Our unique oasis offers a peaceful escape from the city's hustle and bustle, while remaining conveniently close to modern amenities such as shopping, fine and casual dining, parks, recreation, and the world's longest S-shaped pedestrian bridge.

Your indoor living accommodation comprises a 495 sq. ft. free-standing, custom-crafted space, meticulously designed with comfortable furnishings and luxurious amenities to cater to two adults. Amidst our vibrant and convenient location, the villa offers calm and serenity, providing an inviting and rejuvenating haven to savor and unwind all year long.

Your outdoor living experience changes with the seasons. During the warmer months, immerse yourself in the lush greenery of our 3/4-acre private garden, surrounded by tranquil settings. Enjoy the melodies of nature as you sip your morning coffee or dine al fresco under the twinkling stars

In the colder seasons, retreat to the cozy comforts of your villa, where you can unwind and recharge for your next Columbus adventure. Delight in the subtle beauty of our garden as it gracefully transitions to winter, with a dusting of snow visible through the villa's windows in every direction.

The Garden Villa is the ultimate destination for leisure travelers, staycations, and special occasions alike. It's a hushed haven that awaits your arrival.

Please ensure you carefully review all house rules before booking a stay. Please also note that due to the weather in the Midwest, the outdoor tub is available only during the warmer months, typically from the beginning of May through early November. The ideal outdoor activity temperature here in Columbus, Ohio also falls within the same time frame, should you wish to utilize the outdoor amenities.

The check-in was easy. The Villa is definitely a hidden gem tucked into a secluded green space. The design inside and out creates a welcoming but sophisticated atmosphere. We will look forward to returning to this property.

Charming and quaint cottage rental

Great cottage for short stays in the Columbus area. Much better than staying in a hotel room. The king bed was super comfortable. All the amenities were very nice except for the shower which was ok but just a bit small. Highly recommend this rental!!
