Happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Big Blue. We would love to host again at any of our homes, anytime!
Great house for a group. Plenty of bedrooms and nice spaces to relax. The only issue is street noise. It’s hard to sleep. Use white noise from your phone.

We’re happy you enjoyed the home and found it great for your group. Thank you for the note about street noise — we appreciate the feedback. We do provide noise machines/ear plugs at our homes as street noise is common in urban areas. Hope to host you again soon! -Rowe House Rentals Team
Me and 3 others stayed here for a conference and it was perfect for us. Very close to downtown, beds were comfortable and everything was clean. Beautiful house and we will be staying here in the future.
We stayed in this house so we could be close to the James. We were happy to find a beautiful house that was well stocked with all the things we found need. The house is within walking distance to High St. which has every type of restaurant you could hope for. Overall our stay was great and we would definitely stay again.

Spacious, homey and THE best location for our work trip! There were 4 of us and the location has 5 bedrooms on the upper floors, so we each had our own room and only 2 had to share a bathroom. The earliest flight out stayed downstairs in the ensuite so she could sneak out without disturbing us. The patio area is a nice gathering space and having the free parking space was super handy! But, I can't say enough about the location! We were 2 short blocks away from EVERYTHING and felt 100% safe walking in this area until late. When come back to Columbus, we'll definitely keep this one at the top of our list!
