The space
You’ll find this clean, sunny and welcoming home comfortable and spacious. Spread out in the two very large bedrooms (one with a king, one with a full-size bunk bed set), a private office space with a futon and a convertible sleeper couch in the living room (with a sliding barndoor to offer privacy).

The family room contains a 65” TV, adaptable to your online subscriptions. We have voice-activated speakers for music in various rooms.

A sunny bath with huge soak tub, large waterfall shower and double sinks is upstairs, a half bath downstairs. The house also has an upstairs washer and dryer. You’ll find some travel-sized products underneath the sink should you forget something.

A lovely white & granite kitchen equipped with everything you need to cook and most importantly (to us) - coffee (Keurig, french press and drip pot). Be sure to enjoy the morning in the sunroom with a warm cup.

We have two office stations and a sunroom for those who like to work from “home”. The upstairs desk is equipped with Ethernet and wifi throughout the home.

Please make use of our private backyard - on the brick patio we have outdoor couches, poofs, chairs, a dining table and twinkle lights to accompany your happy hour(s). Out front by the lavender bushes, you may see ducks walking by on their way back to the Schiller Park pond.

We started a digital guestbook on Instagam and welcome guests to send us photos (either messaged or tagged) from their experience: @germanvillagehouse

Guest access
You’ll have the entire house to yourself - including the closets, cabinets, dressers, backyard, etc. The basement and garage are not accessible.

Other things to note
We strived to make this home family-friendly so we have kids’ toys in storage on-site as well as numerous children’s books. We’ve put outlet covers in most rooms to help curb curious toddlers. If you need anything else to make your stay more comfortable while traveling with littles, don’t hesitate to reach out - we get it and are happy to help!

If you are interested in the history of my ancestors settling in German Village or the history of the family who owned this home for 100+ years, just let us know. Otherwise, I’ll include it in the welcome binder. As avid travelers and lovers of new experiences, you’ll see our nod to traveling throughout the house. We are excited to host you and share our beautiful neighborhood and German culture!

Quick stop in German village

Perfect set up for a quick stop in Columbus. We were so happy we could bring our dogs and grateful for the fenced in yard and overall charm and cleanliness of Tessa’s home. We hope to return soon! Thank you for sharing your home.

The cutest German Village home!

This home is just absolutely adorable! The parking situation is extremely convenient, there’s a driveway that fits 1 car and then there is actually street parking (we had 2 cars, so this was important). Very easy to find, too. The instructions from the host for accessing the unit were spot on. It’s very conveniently located and it was nice to be able to walk to most of the places we wanted to go. The whole home was extremely clean, well stocked, and cozy. If it was a little warmer out, we definitely would have made use of the backyard. The main bedroom has the full bathroom connected to it - this was slightly inconvenient for us, but we made it work (there is a half bath right off the kitchen, so that helped out). The second bedroom has a bunk bed set up, so it was more geared for kids it felt like, which was absolutely fine, we just felt the room could be rearranged a little differently to make it a little more conducive for adults staying there, too. But both rooms were extremely comfortable! The upstairs layout would probably work perfectly for a family, just a little odd to have to walk through someone else’s room to get to the main bathroom. There’s also an office on the other side of the bathroom. The office had a double monitor set up that you could hook your laptop up to (as a “WFX” person, this was so nice to see!) and a futon couch. Overall it was a wonderful spot, I would definitely book this home again if I was in Columbus.

About the host

Hosted by Tessa

Hi! I'm a communications professional who works from home and I immensely enjoy the benefits of WFH traveling. Having grown up in rural Ohio, I appreciate the beauty of countryside but fell in love with cityscape. I moved to Los Angeles after college, then spent years in downtown Chicago but found my way back to my home city: Columbus. I would describe myself as an urban culture-junkie, modern art lover, and amateur photographer; I enjoy music of all kinds, food, wine, coffee and I live for those experiences that broaden my perspectives and enrich my life.

When it comes to hosting, we are thrilled to host our German Village home. Built in 1886, our traditional German house is rich in history and character, truly only footsteps away from beautiful Schiller Park. We encourage walks in the brick-lined neighborhood - you’ll find bookstores, pubs, coffeeshops, gardens and gorgeous historical homes along the way. Or grab the picnic basket in the kitchen and head out to Schiller Park with byo-refreshments (Shakespeare in the Park happens all summer long). Around the corner, there is a Lyft bike station, and down the street you can access the bike path which leads to downtown and beyond - a favorite way of ours to brewery hop.

If you are more interested in the history of my ancestors settling in German Village or the history of the family who owned this home for 100+ years, don’t hesitate to reach out. As avid travelers and lovers of new experiences, you’ll see our nod to traveling throughout the house.

Final note- as a city-dweller mama - I strived to make this home family-friendly so we have a pack and play, high chair, baby gate, kid toys in storage on-site as well as numerous children’s books. If you need anything else to make your stay more comfortable while traveling with littles, don’t hesitate to reach out - we get it and are happy to help (we also love your fur babies and have several ourselves)!

Why they chose this property

This is our beautiful neighborhood! Historical and great for walking. The houses and gardens are beautiful. German Village runs from City Park (West) to Parsons (East), Livingston (North) to Thurman (South). 3rd Street has a collection of coffee spots, restaurants, chocolate shops etc.

Schiller Park is just steps away and perfect for walks, jogs, fishing, and bird-watching. There’s an outdoor performance stage where you can often watch a play (look up Shakespeare in the Park to learn more), a recreation center, benches, beautiful statues, outdoor art, a playground and more! The ducks are friendly and people (and their dogs) are friendlier.

During the summer months, there is a farmers' market on 3rd Street next to the St Marys Church on Saturdays. Once a month, there is a "makers mart" craft and food event just a half-block away at Thurman and City Park.

During the winter months, look into Village Lights - you'll feel like you're in a Hallmark Movie with lanterns, free hot chocolate and holiday-decorations on every brick-lined street! A walk through snowy Schiller Park is lovely, as well. We like to spend winter trying cozy new restaurants in the neighborhood and investing in the arts.

What makes this property unique
